Jon Hamm has joined the cast of Taylor Sheridan’s upcoming Paramount+ series “Landman,” appearing in a recurring guest star role. Hamm joins previously announced series lead Billy Bob Thornton as well as cast members Ali Larter, Michelle Randolph, Jacob Lofland, Kayla Wallace, James Jordan, Mark Collie, Paulina Chávez, and Demi Moore. Hamm will portray Monty Miller, described as “a titan of the Texas oil industry who has a long personal and professional relationship with Tommy Norris (Thornton).”
Landman is based on the podcast “Boomtow,” with the official description for the series stating it is “set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas” and described as “an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.” The series recently kicked off production in and around Fort Worth, Texas, with co-creators Sheridan and Christian Wallace also serving as executive producers.
Hamm starred as Don Draper in his Emmy-winning role in the AMC drama “Mad Men” for seven seasons, also earning two Golden Globes and numerous other accolades for the role. Hamm recently starred in Season 5 of the FX anthology series “Fargo,” the Amazon series “Good Omens,” and the third season of Apple TV+’s “The Morning Show.”
