About “Landman” in a few words:

Landman is a gritty neo-Western drama created by Taylor Sheridan, set in the raw, money-hungry world of West Texas oil. The show centers on Tommy Norris, a veteran landman, as he navigates power struggles, dangerous negotiations, and complicated family dynamics.

Meet the characters from Landman

Tommy Norris

Tommy is the kind of landman who shows up with a crooked map and a grin that’s somehow both weary and dangerous. He’s stubborn, pragmatic, and annoyingly charming — the guy who remembers every old boundary line but forgets his own anniversary (yes, really). He works in that gray zone between scrappy negotiator and reluctant local legend, making deals over bad coffee and better stories. Claims he hates paperwork but has color-coded folders that would put a librarian to shame, and he definitely has a soft spot for stray dogs and forgotten farms even if he pretends he doesn’t.

Angela Norris

Angela is the matriarch energy personified — fierce, funny, and she can read both a contract and a room in one look. Equal parts negotiator and therapist, she steers the family with steel and syrup (literal syrup, she hoards it in the pantry). Everyone thinks she’s unflappable but she has a ridiculous mixtape of 90s love songs she listens to when nobody’s around; do not judge. Practical to the bone but with this streak of impulsive wildness that pops up at the best and worst times.

Cooper Norris

Cooper is the restless younger type who can GPS a pipeline blindfolded and can’t sit through more than an hour of anything — movies, meetings, sermons, you name it. He’s clever, impatient, and prone to big gestures that may or may not involve fireworks (probably do). Loves gadgets, conspiracy theories, and beating older relatives at poker, though he swears it’s “just practice.” Surprisingly tender by a bonfire; he’ll remember your dog’s middle name but forget to call back, classic Cooper.

Ainsley Norris

Ainsley is the paint-splattered-boot sibling who somehow shows up to town hall looking like a walking art exhibit and still gets the zoning board to listen. She’s creative, infuriatingly precise about colors and contracts alike, and laughs at “that’s how it’s always been done.” A planner with a secret impulsive streak — will schedule the whole year then drop everything to chase a sunset. Loves old horror movies, irrationally hates spiders, and will defend a ridiculous opinion about artisanal pickles until dawn.

Ariana

Ariana is the wild card — glint-eyed, quick-tongued, and probably juggling three plans at once while buying plane tickets at 3 a.m. She’s magnetic and ambitious, the kind who can get you to sign a deal and then make you thank her for it. People call her fearless; I call her “deliberately dangerous” (in a good way). Collects tiny hotel soaps and terrible puns, which somehow sums up glamorous and stubbornly silly at the same time.

Rebecca Falcone

Rebecca Falcone is a flawlessly dressed force of nature who treats negotiations like sport and rarely loses. Icy on the surface — razor-sharp legal mind, exacting standards — but every so often she drops a ridiculous cat gif into a group chat and you wonder if she’s a very stylish robot. Loves control, hates surprises, runs things like a conductor who also organizes the spice rack by city. Don’t mistake her cool for cold though; her warmth sneaks out in tiny awkward ways, like bringing the exact right tea to a tense meeting and pretending it’s nothing.
