Landman is the sort of show that makes you want to pause the episode, pull up a map of Texas, and figure out exactly where all that dust and drama is taking place. The oil rigs, the neon-lit steak houses, and the long empty highways that look like they go on forever all feel very real for a reason. And it’s because a lot of them are!
Here’s exactly where Landman is filmed, and where you can actually go if you ever feel like planning your own little Taylor Sheridan road trip.
So, where is Landman filmed?
On screen, the story lives in the Permian Basin around Midland and Odessa, and it’s loosely based on the Boomtown podcast that followed that very real oil boom. In real life, though, Landman production set up camp a few hours away in North Texas, with Fort Worth as the home base for filming.
Fort Worth’s tourism board actually confirms that the production office is based there and that filming took place “in and around” the city. Its unique mix of neighborhoods and landscapes helped the area pass for places “more than five hours away” on screen, including scenes that are supposed to be in Midland. When it was required, extra filming took place in Odessa, Weatherford, and Young County, plus a few spots across the state line in Oklahoma.
Fort Worth is the heart of Landman.
If you want to feel like you’ve stepped straight into the show, start in downtown Fort Worth. (The local tourism board even put together a Landman filming locations guide, and it reads like a little itinerary!) Sundance Square and the Petroleum Club both show up in episodes as the more polished and corporate spots where Monty takes calls and makes big deals. You can wander the plaza, check out the fountains and murals, then look up at the same skyline you’ve seen behind Billy Bob Thornton and Jon Hamm…
