Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy looking worriedly at Paulina Chávez's Ariana in the hospital in Landman episode 6
Landman co-creator Christian Wallace has revealed just how accurate the details are in the Taylor Sheridan show about the oil industry in Texas. The true story behind Landman comes from the podcast Boomtown, hosted by Wallace and produced by Texas Monthly to highlight the oil boom in the Permian Basin. However, while the podcast is based purely on fact, the TV show follows the fictional Norris family, namely Tommy , who oversees oil production for wealthy tycoon Monty Miller .
A lot of it is very accurate. Some of it we had to kind of squeeze together to make it make sense for our characters. And it’s funny, it depends on who you ask. My uncle who works in the oil field for the last 30 years will nitpick every little thing. But I think for the most part, it’s safe to say you get a decent sense of what it’s like working in oil and gas out there.
What Wallace's Statement Says About Landman's Real-World Accuracy Despite Some Fiction, The Show Maintains Many Realistic Events Close Wallace's statement confirms that, even though the events themselves are fictional, the elements that go into the story and the characters of Landman are very realistic. This is reflected from the very beginning, especially in Cooper's story, as he witnesses a tragic accident that impacts his life for the rest of the season.
Posts 15 His statement also indicates many other wild elements are pulled from reality, such as having to deal with the cartel or criminal organizations, and the high pay rate for such dangerous jobs. They're compounded by the Norris family's story of everyday life in the patch, something that grounds the show in a storyline that makes the information it offers all the more engaging.
