WATCH: First look at the return of Yellowstone

A new trailer for the forthcoming series "Landman," starring Oscar winner Billy Bob Thornton, is bringing the drama.

The series, which "Yellowstone" co-creator Taylor Sheridan co-created with "Boomtown" podcast host Christian Wallace, stars Thornton as Tommy Norris, a crisis manager for an oil company, and is described as "a modern-day tale of fortune seeking in the world of oil rigs" which is "set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas."

"Texas. It ain't any different than Tombstone or Dodge City. First comes the dreamers, then the bankers and then the desperate," Thornton's Tommy says in the trailer.

When his son Cooper (Jacob Lofland) asks him which of those descriptors he is, Tommy answers, "A divorced alcoholic with $500,000 in debt -- and I'm one of the lucky ones."
