Taylor Sheridan’s gritty oil-industry drama Landman is not only a story about big deals and power plays, but it also takes the viewer on a visual tour across some of the most impressive filming locations. Although the story takes place in the oil-rich cities of Midland and Odessa in West Texas, the show was mainly filmed elsewhere.The cameras moved throughout North Texas and in the neighboring regions, instead of West Texas. Landman Season 2 saw the team traveling back to the same locations in and around Fort Worth, and extended shooting to other areas.They even moved across state borders into Oklahoma. These settings assist the show to juxtapose slick urban areas with small-town, gritty ones to provide Landman Season 2 with a rich and realistic background that matches its hard-edged story.Fort Worth: the heartbeat of Landman Season 2’s filming View this post on Instagram Instagram PostFort Worth, Texas was indeed the heartbeat of Landman Season 2. The city was the central location of production due to its cowboy history, cattle drives, and vibrant arts scene. Crews were seen all around, from downtown high-rises to university campuses.One of the most important filming hubs was SGS Studios, located on the AllianceTexas campus where huge indoor sets were constructed on which controlled and cinematic scenes could be shot. But the performance did not remain indoors long.Real Fort Worth landmarks such as Dickies Arena, the Fort Worth Stockyards (complete cattle drive) and Texas Christian University will be easily identified by the viewers. College-related scenes, mainly the storyline concerning Ainsley, were of special interest to the university campus.The food and nightlife of Fort Worth were also featured in the show. Nightfood places such as 61 Osteria and the legendary Cattlemen Steakhouse are where high-stress meetings were shot, and the high-end places, such as Frost Tower and Worthington Renaissance, were present too. All these real-life locations lend Landman Season 2 a realistic Texas vibe.Small towns, big drama View this post on Instagram Instagram PostWhile Fort Worth was the main focus, Landman Season 2 also covered the small-town Texas environment in order to make it a little more down-to-earth. Places like Jacksboro and Springtown gave that rough touch that large cities were unable to offer.The local police station in the town of Jacksboro was converted into an Odessa PD in one of the funeral scenes, with street shutdowns and a complete production set. Springtown was a more pleasant touch, with its First United Methodist Church and local businesses providing small-town settings that were a pleasant contrast to the modern appearance of Fort Worth.More local buildings and open roads were used by the crew, shot in Benbrook, Cresson, Weatherfor,d and other towns, to recreate West Texas life. These less noisy settings made Landman Season 2 feel part of the Permian Basin, despite the fact that the filming was done miles away.Crossing state lines View this post on Instagram Instagram PostLandman Season 2 did not remain in the same area of North Texas, but expanded, not only visually but also geographically as well. Downtown Dallas was a significant shooting location, and districts like the Knox/Henderson and the Arts District were utilized as smooth urban settings. These scenes provide a jolt of urbanity to the roughness of the oil-field backdrop of the show.The series even briefly bounced off state lines into Oklahoma. The filming of some of the casino scenes was shot around Durant, like the Choctaw Casino and Resort. This sudden turn gives it some new visual momentum and stretches the narrative outside of recognizable Texas landscapes.It is the combination of all these different places onscreen that truly works in Landman Season 2. The settings are natural and interrelated, even in the bustling street of the city or a small town, or a glamorous casino floor. Taylor Sheridan and his crew incorporate all these real locations in one seamless, cinematic world that is real, dramatic and more fashionable than you think an oil drama would be.For more such insights on Landman Season 2, keep following SoapCentral.
