What do West Texas oil booms and riveting, high-stakes drama have in common? They both find a home in the new Paramount+ series *Landman*. Set against the sprawling landscapes and gritty realities of the oil industry, the show captures an authentic slice of Texas life—and it’s no coincidence. *Landman* was filmed almost entirely in Texas, with nearly every scene dripping in the Lone Star State’s charm. Here's a closer look at the key filming locations and why they matter to the story.
At its core, *Landman* is a love letter to Texas, and Fort Worth serves as its thrilling epicenter. From sprawling skylines to historic venues, the city's character is as integral as any of the show’s leads.
Directly tied to the themes of drilling and the harsh realities of working in the oil fields, Odessa offers an earthy contrast to Fort Worth’s boardroom drama.
Other Texas spots played their part in creating a world that feels lived-in and real:
| Location | Purpose | Notable Features |
|---|---|---|
| Babes N'Brew Coffee Shop, Benbrook | Casual meeting spot | Set built specially for a local feel |
| Faith Community Hospital, Jacksboro | Midland General Setting | Key emotional moments filmed here |
| Cleburne Highway | Oil field setups | Scenic stretches of Texas highways |
Texas isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a character. Each location enhances the show’s authenticity while offering a glimpse into the trials, triumphs, and culture of the oil industry. From Fort Worth's corporate sheen to Odessa's gritty oil fields, every scene brims with purpose. Creator Taylor Sheridan, a Fort Worth native, clearly understands that to tell a story about West Texas, you need to root it in the soil itself.

The production of Landman took place in the scenic locales surrounding Fort Worth, Texas. Filming commenced in February 2024 and wrapped up in June of the same year.
The fourth episode of Landman aired on Paramount+ and sparked interest due to its filming in the Midland-Odessa region. This choice of location offers an exciting viewing experience, especially for residents familiar with West Texas landmarks. As of December 2, 2024, viewers were eagerly identifying the local sites featured.
Although Landman captures the essence of Texas, its filming didn't occur in West Texas but predominantly in Fort Worth. Choosing Fort Worth as a key filming site aligns perfectly with the city's rich history tied to the Texas oil boom, which is central to the series' narrative. By November 20, 2024, Fort Worth's portrayal had become a talking point for fans and history enthusiasts.
Fans of Landman can rejoice as the fictional 'Patch Cafe' from the series has found a real-life counterpart. Opening in west Fort Worth, this café brings a piece of the show's world into reality, allowing fans to enjoy its ambience firsthand.
