Paramount+ has revealed the new trailer for the Landman series, starring Oscar-winner Billy Bob Thornton. The drama will premiere on Sunday, November 17, exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and international markets where the service is available.

The series will launch with two episodes, and subsequent episodes of the 10-episode first season will be available every Sunday.

Co-created by Oscar nominee Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, Landman is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios, and Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch Productions exclusively for Paramount+.

Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, Landman is a modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs. Based on the notable 11-part podcast Boomtown from Imperative Entertainment and Texas Monthly, the series is an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big that it’s reshaping our climate, our economy, and our geopolitics.

In addition to Billy Bob Thornton,...

Welcome to the world of oil. Those are the ominous words that end the first trailer for “Landman,” Taylor Sheridan’s new drama series starring Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Hamm and Demi Moore. The show will premiere its first two episodes on Paramount+ Nov. 17.

“The oil and gas industry makes $3 billion a day in pure profit. And it’s only getting bigger,” Thornton’s Tommy Norris says in the opening of the trailer. He then outlines that to make that money, you need to do two things: secure the land and manage the people.

“First part’s pretty simple. It’s the second part that can get you killed,” Tommy says.

After he drops that bomb, disaster strikes. Dynamic shots of men in suits boarding private planes and Tommy in his cowboy hat are replaced by a scene of workers on an oil rig. The trailer then cuts to blast as the sound drops out.

If there’s one thing that’s working at Paramount, it’s Taylor Sheridan. That’s probably why the “Yellowstone” creator’s latest drama, “Landman,” is set to premiere on Nov. 17, exclusively on Paramount+.

The series, which stars Billy Bob Thornton as an oil company crisis executive, will launch with its first two episodes on that date. After that, new installments of the 10-episode series will premiere weekly on Sundays.

Set in West Texas, “Landman” is based on the “Boomtown” podcast by Texas Monthly and focuses on the 21st century Texas oil boom. The series is a modern-day retelling of those seeking their fortunes in the world of oil rigs. The drama is described as an “upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics,” according to a press release for the series.

It’s time to take a look at what Netflix has got coming to its library this week. Beginning on Monday, December 7th, the streaming giant is adding a haul of 19 titles, which includes a bunch of original content and a few great new licensed projects. And as you’d expect, a fair amount of it’s holiday-related.

You and your whole family can enjoy a number of festive TV specials this coming week, for instance, including Super Monsters: Santa’s Super Monster Helpers on Tuesday and Christmas editions of both Ashley Garcia: Genius in Love and The Big Show Show on Wednesday. Not to mention A Trash Truck Christmas on Friday.

For more, take a look at the full list of what’s due on Netflix from Monday to Friday – there are no new additions on the way next weekend – below and then scroll down for further highlights.

This weekly feature is in addition to TVLine’s daily What to Watch listings and monthly guide to What’s on Streaming.

With more than 530 scripted shows now airing across broadcast, cable and streaming, it’s easy to forget that a favorite comedy is returning, or that the new “prestige drama” you anticipated is about to debut. So consider this our reminder to set your DVR, order a Season Pass, pop a fresh Memorex into the Vcr… however it is you roll.

‘Tis already the season to be jolly, as Netflix has begun to launch its 2020 slate of holiday movies, TV series and specials.

The list includes sequels like “The Princess Switch: Switched Again” and “The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two,” as well as the debuts of movies “Holidate” and “Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey,” and shows “Dash & Lily” and “Holiday Home Makeover with Mr. Christmas,” and the Christmas specials/series finales for “The Big Show Show” and “Ashley Garcia: Genius in Love,” along with many more titles.

If you’re already looking ahead to next year, Netflix has revealed that its ordered a third “Princess Switch” movie starring Vanessa Hudgens, which will begin production in Scotland later this year for a holiday 2021 release.

“Holidate” – Oct. 28

Sloane (Emma Roberts) and Jackson (Luke Bracey) hate the holidays. They constantly find themselves single,...

Hallmark and Lifetime may be the longtime players in the TV holiday movie game, but relative newbie Netflix has a festive boast to make about its own Christmas content: “Around half” of Netflix subscribers “watched at least one” of the streaming service’s original holiday films during the 2019 holiday season and Netflix’s holiday titles are streamed in all 190 countries where the platform is available, a spokesperson for the streaming service tells TheWrap.

For context, Netflix said it had reached 167 million subscribers globally at the end of 2019, so this stat would apply to almost 50% of those accounts. Reminder: Netflix counts a “view” as when someone watches a selected title for at least two minutes.

Netflix doesn’t have nearly as many original holiday movies under its belt as Hallmark or Lifetime but its library is growing each year, and it’s already known for a few “franchises,” like its beloved “A Christmas Prince” trilogy.

Netflix dropped the trailer for “The Christmas Chronicles” sequel Monday, featuring the returns of Kurt Russell as Santa and Goldie Hawn as Mrs. Claus in a new adventure to save Christmas, which is apparently “doomed” forever.

Watch the trailer for the Chris Columbus-directed film via the video above.

Here’s the synopsis for the movie, which is the followup to the streaming service’s 2018 holiday movie “The Christmas Chronicles”:

“It’s been two years since siblings Kate (Darby Camp) and Teddy Pierce (Judah Lewis) saved Christmas, and a lot has changed. Kate, now a cynical teenager, is reluctantly spending Christmas in Cancun with her mom’s new boyfriend (Tyrese Gibson) and his son Jack (Jahzir Bruno). Unwilling to accept this new version of her family, Kate decides to run away. But when a mysterious, magical troublemaker named Belsnickel threatens to destroy the North Pole and end Christmas for good,...

Netflix has given a formal series green light to Dad Stop Embarrassing Me, a father-daughter comedy starring and executive produced by Oscar winner Jamie Foxx. The series is inspired by Foxx’s relationship with his daughter, Corinne Foxx, who produces alongside Alex Avant.

Kyla-Drew will play Foxx’s daughter, with David Alan Grier also starring on the multi-camera comedy.

Dad Stop Embarrassing Me was casting and gearing up for production in February before the coronavirus pandemic paused most production activities. Ahead of the official series order, the original showrunner Jim Patterson, co-creator of Netflix’s The Ranch, recently stepped down. He was replaced by Bentley Kyle Evans. Initially hired as consultant, Evans (Martin), who previously co-created/exec produced with Foxx The Jamie Foxx Show in addition to serving as showrunner, was named executive producer/showrunner on the new sitcom.

Netflix has canceled “Ashley Garcia: Genius in Love” and “The Big Show Show,” starring WWE Superstar The Big Show, and after one season apiece, TheWrap has learned.

The streaming service will release one more episode of both multi-cam sitcoms this December, as standalone Christmas specials for “Ashley Garcia” and “Big Show Show” had already been filmed ahead of the pandemic, an individual with knowledge of the situation tells TheWrap. These episodes do not continue storylines from the previous seasons.

All existing episodes of “The Big Show Show” and “Ashley Garcia: Genius In Love” will continue to be available for streaming on Netflix.

Led by The Big Show — real name Paul Wight — “The Big Show Show” is a fictionalized version of the pro-wrestler’s own life. Here’s its official synopsis for the eight-episode show: “When the teenage daughter of The Big Show, a retired world-famous WWE Superstar comes to live with him,...

It's game over for another two Netflix shows.

The streamer has pulled the plug on both The Big Show Show and Ashley Garcia: Genius in Love, according to Deadline.

Ashley Garcia: Genius In Love (also known as The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia) starred Paulina Chávez as “the world’s only 15-and-a-half-year-old robotics genius engineer and rocket scientist,” per the series’ official description.

“[When she] gets the chance to work for a prestigious company, she moves across the country to live with her fun-loving Uncle Victor, a pro football player turned high school coach who’s never met a responsibility he can’t shirk.”

The first part premiered in February, with Part 2 following in July.

The Big Show Show, which launched on April 6, was led by Paul Wight (aka WWE Superstar The Big Show) as a fictional version of himself, as well as Allison Munn, Reylynn Caster, Juliet Donenfeld, and Lily Brooks O’Briant.

Did the teen genius see this coming? Netflix has cancelled the Ashley Garcia: Genius in Love comedy series. There won't be a second season but, the multi-camera sitcom's not over quite yet.

Created by Mario Lopez and Seth Kurland, Ashley Garcia: Genius in Love stars Paulina Chávez, Conor Husting, Bella Podaras, Reed Horstmann, and Jencarlos Canela. The series revolves around Ashley Garcia (Chávez), the world’s only 15-and-a-half-year-old rocket scientist and robotics genius engineer. She gets the chance to work for a prestigious company and moves across the country to live with her fun-loving Uncle Victor (Canela), a pro football player turned high school coach who has a hard time with responsibility. The series is also known as The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia.

The first (and only) season of the show has been released in parts.

Netflix has bad news for two of its newest comedy series: both The Big Show Show and Ashley Garcia: Genius in Love have been cancelled, our sister site Deadline reports.

Ashley Garcia: Genius In Love (also known as The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia) starred Paulina Chávez as “the world’s only 15-and-a-half-year-old robotics genius engineer and rocket scientist,” per the series’ official description. “[When she] gets the chance to work for a prestigious company, she moves across the country to live with her fun-loving Uncle Victor, a pro football player turned high school coach who’s never met a responsibility he can’t shirk.

Both “The Big Show Show” and “Ashley Garcia: Genius in Love” have not been renewed at Netflix.

However, both multi-camera comedies taped Christmas specials prior to the pandemic, with both set to air this December. According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, both specials are standalone episodes and do not continue the storylines from the prior episodes.

“The Big Show Show” starred WWE star Paul “The Big Show” Wight as a fictionalized version of himself living with his wife and three daughters. The series also starred Allison Munn,Reylynn Caster, Juliet Donenfeld, and Lily Brooks O’Briant.

Exclusive: Netflix has opted not to order second seasons of multi-camera family sitcoms Ashley Garcia: Genius in Love and The Big Show Show.

Fans will get one more original episode of each shows as the streamer had commissioned special Christmas episodes of both comedies to be released this December.

These are not series finales. The special stand-alone Christmas episodes were filmed before the pandemic and do not continue the storylines from the previous seasons.

The produced episodes of Ashley Garcia and The Big Show Show will continue to be available on Netflix. Multi-camera comedy is probably the genre most dependable on cast chemistry. That is something that can be tested in a pilot, something that does not fit into Netflix’s model, which is built on straight-to-series orders.
