Christian Wallace\u2019s<\/a> podcast “Boomtown,” now deep into production on its second season. What began this spring with scenes at TCU and downtown Fort Worth has steadily expanded into rural North Texas \u2014 and more recently, across the Red River into Oklahoma.<\/p>\nThe show\u2019s filming schedule, like its storyline, seems to be evolving in real time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The cast and crew have been on location around Fort Worth since March, filming at TCU, the First United Methodist Church in Springtown, and a handful of local businesses. On July 9, the production made its latest stop in Jacksboro, where the town\u2019s police station was temporarily turned into the Odessa Police Department. The Jacksboro Herald-Gazette posted on Facebook that filming ran from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., with temporary closures along Highway 380 and South Church Street.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But this wasn\u2019t the first time the city of Jacksboro was used as the backdrop for \u201cLandman.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Last year, Jacksboro\u2019s Faith Community Hospital served as a filming location for Season 1, and in April, the crew came back to town to film a pivotal funeral sequence there. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Sheridan\u2019s signature is all over the show\u2019s patchwork filming style \u2014 pulling together scenes from multiple towns, building as he goes. \u201cWhen Sheridan starts writing, he\u2019s not necessarily sure where it\u2019s going to go,\u201d Thornton said in a recent\u00a0\u201cActors on Actors\u201d\u00a0interview with Kathy Bates for\u00a0Variety. \u201cHe lets the characters and the story take him when he\u2019s gonna write it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
While North Texas remains central to the series\u2019 visual palette, “Landman”\u00a0Season 2 has crossed state lines. In June, the production filmed casino scenes in Durant, Oklahoma, about two hours from Fort Worth. Multiple outlets, including\u00a0Primetimer\u00a0and\u00a0Men\u2019s Journal, reported that casting calls in the area sought extras to play gamblers, casino employees, and guests at Choctaw Casino & Resort, suggesting a broader narrative scope this season.<\/p>\n
Between funeral scenes, campus protests, and roulette wheels, the world of “Landman” appears to be expanding beyond the oil patch \u2014 and deeper into the murky overlap of power, industry, and risk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though “Landman” is set in West Texas, Sheridan continues to use North Texas to stand in for the Permian Basin \u2014 a familiar move for the Weatherford-based writer-director behind “Yellowstone,” “1883,” and “Mayor of Kingstown.” His Bosque Ranch has quickly become one of the most prominent production hubs in the state.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Production for the show is expected to continue through August, with Oklahoma filming ongoing and additional Fort Worth shoots scheduled for this month. While Paramount+ has not confirmed a premiere date, the timeline suggests a likely release in\u00a0November 2025, nearly one year after the show\u2019s debut. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Sheridan\u2019s dramas have always blurred the lines between Texas myth and modern reality, and “Landman” is no exception. What began with pumpjacks and family tension in the oilfields is now reaching into casinos, courtrooms, and backroom deals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And if the road closures and pop-up film crews are any indication, that story\u2019s far from finished.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Jacksboro Police Department doesn\u2019t usually double as a West Texas crime scene, but on Wednesday, July 9,…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":65109,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5138],"tags":[5229,12043,12046,185,46340,7371,7372,12044,10763,12045,358,7453,46339,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-65108","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-arts-and-culture","10":"tag-billy-bob-thornton","11":"tag-celebrities","12":"tag-filming-crew","13":"tag-fort-worth","14":"tag-fortworth","15":"tag-landman","16":"tag-stephen-montoya","17":"tag-taylor-sheridan","18":"tag-texas","19":"tag-top-story","20":"tag-tv-show","21":"tag-tx","22":"tag-united-states","23":"tag-united-states-of-america","24":"tag-unitedstates","25":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","26":"tag-us","27":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114852130001647612","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65108"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65108\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
