FEBRUARY 15, 2024 — Paramount+ today announced that Emmy^® winner Jon Hamm will join the cast of the upcoming original drama series LANDMAN in a recurring guest role. Hamm will play Monty Miller, a titan of the Texas oil industry who has a long personal and professional relationship with Tommy Norris, played by Oscar^® winner and series lead Billy Bob Thornton. Co-created by Oscar nominee Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, LANDMAN is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios and Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch Productions exclusively for Paramount+.

Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, LANDMAN is a modern-day tale of fortune seeking in the world of oil rigs. Based on the notable 11-part podcast “Boomtown,” the series is an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.

Hamm’s nuanced portrayal of high-powered advertising executive Don Draper in the award-winning drama series Mad Men earned him numerous accolades for his performance, including an Emmy in 2015 for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series, Golden Globe Awards in 2016 and 2008, Television Critics Association Awards in 2011 and 2015, a Critics’ Choice Television Award in 2011 and multiple Screen Actors Guild nominations. Last year, Hamm starred in the fifth season of the critically acclaimed anthology series Fargo, for which he received a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination. Hamm also can be seen in season three of The Morning Show and the second season of Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens. His appearances on the Emmy-winning comedy 30 Rock from 2009-2012 earned him three Emmy nominations for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series and his role in the second season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt earned him an Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series Emmy nomination. Hamm has hosted Saturday Night Live three times to critical acclaim. Additional television credits include A Young Doctor’s Notebook, in which he starred and executive produced, and Clear History. Hamm has starred in numerous films over the years; he recently starred opposite Tina Fey in the John Slattery-directed film, Maggie Moore(s) and in the film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical Mean Girls. Additional film credits include Confess, Fletch, which he also executive produced, Top Gun: Maverick, Wild Mountain Thyme, Lucy in the Sky, The Report, The Battle of Richard Jewell, Bad Times at the El Royale, Tag, Beirut, Baby Driver, Keeping Up with the Joneses, Million Dollar Arm, Friends with Kids and Bridesmaids. Next, Hamm will lend his voice to the animated detective comedy series Grimsburg, which he also executive produces. He’ll star and executive produce two upcoming series: Your Friends and Neighbors and the live-action television series adaptation of the psychological thriller podcast American Hostage.

In addition to Billy Bob Thornton, the series stars Ali Larter (The Last Victim), Michelle Randolph (1923), Jacob Lofland (Joker 2), Kayla Wallace (When Calls the Heart), James Jordan (Yellowstone), Mark Collie (Nashville), Paulina Chávez (The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia), and Demi Moore (Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans).

Currently filming in and around Fort Worth, Texas, LANDMAN is executive produced by Taylor Sheridan, David C. Glasser, ​David Hutkin, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari​, Christian Wallace, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Friedman and Stephen Kay. Dan Friedkin and Jason Hoch, for Imperative Development LLC, and J.K. Nickell and Megan Creydt, for Texas Monthly, also executive produce. Peter Feldman serves as co-executive producer.
