Yes, you can read Landman episodes on Paramount Plus to watch offline

Paramount Plus lets you read Landman to your phone or tablet so you can watch it without an internet connection. The read feature works on most devices, though the steps differ slightly depending on whether you're using iOS, Android, or a web browser. Downloaded episodes stay on your device for a set period — usually 30 days — before they expire, even if you don't watch them.

Not every Paramount Plus subscription tier includes downloads. You need either the ad-free plan or the higher-tier plan to use this feature. If you have the basic ad-supported plan, downloads are not available to you. Check your account settings to see which plan you're on, or upgrade if you want offline viewing.

Key Takeaways

  • Downloads require the ad-free Paramount Plus plan or the premium tier; the basic ad-supported plan does not include this feature.
  • On mobile devices, open the episode, tap the read icon, and the file saves to your device for offline playback.
  • Downloaded episodes expire after 30 days, so you cannot keep them permanently on your device.
  • Downloaded files take up storage space on your phone or tablet, so check available space before downloading multiple episodes.

How to read Landman on iPhone or iPad

Open the Paramount Plus app and find Landman in your library or search results. Select the episode you want to read. On the episode details screen, look for a read icon — it usually looks like a downward arrow or a cloud with an arrow. Tap it, and the app will begin downloading the episode to your device.

The read progress appears on screen. Once it finishes, you can watch the episode anytime without using data or WiFi. To find your downloaded episodes later, go to the app's menu and look for a "Downloads" or "My Downloads" section. Downloaded episodes will appear there separately from your watch list.

How to read Landman on Android devices

The process on Android phones and tablets is nearly identical to iOS. Open Paramount Plus, search for or navigate to Landman, and select the episode. Tap the read icon on the episode page — again, usually a downward arrow or cloud symbol. The app saves the file to your device's storage.

Android gives you more control over where files are stored. If you have a microSD card, you may be able to direct downloads to it instead of your phone's internal storage, which saves space. Check your app settings to see if this option is available on your device.

read limits and storage considerations

Paramount Plus does not publicly state a hard limit on how many episodes you can read at once, but storage space on your device is the real constraint. A single hour-long episode typically uses 500 MB to 2 GB of space, depending on video quality. If you read multiple episodes of Landman, you can quickly run out of room on a phone with limited storage.

Before downloading, check how much free space your device has. Go to Settings on iPhone or Android and look at available storage. If you're running low, delete old downloads or other files first. Remember that downloaded episodes disappear after 30 days whether you watch them or not, so you may want to delete them manually once you're done to free up space for other content.

What happens when a read expires

Paramount Plus sets a 30-day expiration on all downloads. This means that even if you never open the episode, it will stop playing after 30 days and you'll need to read it again if you want to watch it. The app usually sends you a notification a day or two before expiration so you're not caught off guard.

This expiration applies whether you watched the episode or not. If you read an episode and then travel for three weeks without watching it, you'll have only a week left before it expires. Plan your downloads around when you actually plan to watch, rather than downloading everything at once.

Downloading on a computer or web browser

The Paramount Plus website does not offer a read feature. You can only read Landman using the mobile app on iOS or Android. If you want to watch offline on a computer, you'll need to read the episodes on a phone or tablet first, or use a different method like streaming while connected to WiFi and letting your browser cache the video.

This is a common limitation across streaming services — most reserve offline downloads for mobile devices only. If offline viewing on a computer is important to you, check whether your subscription plan or device supports any workarounds, though Paramount Plus's official policy restricts downloads to phones and tablets.

Troubleshooting read problems

If the read button doesn't appear or downloads fail to start, first check that you're on the correct subscription plan. The basic ad-supported tier does not include downloads, so if you're on that plan, you'll need to upgrade. You can verify your plan in your account settings under "Subscription" or "Billing."

If you have the right plan but downloads still aren't working, try closing the Paramount Plus app completely and reopening it. Make sure your device has enough free storage space — if you're nearly out of room, the app may refuse to read. If the problem persists, uninstall and reinstall the app, or contact Paramount Plus support through the app's help menu.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need WiFi to read episodes?

You need an internet connection to read, but it can be WiFi or mobile data. However, most people read over WiFi to avoid using up their monthly data allowance. Once the read finishes, you can watch offline without any connection.

Can I read Landman on my smart TV?

No. Paramount Plus does not offer downloads on smart TVs, streaming devices like Roku or Fire Stick, or computers. Downloads are only available on the iOS and Android mobile apps. You can stream Landman on your TV, but you'll need an active internet connection.

What if I cancel my Paramount Plus subscription?

Downloaded episodes will stop playing once your subscription ends, even though the files remain on your device. The app checks your subscription status each time you try to play a read. If you want to keep watching, you'll need to renew your subscription.

Can I share downloaded episodes with someone else?

No. Downloaded episodes are tied to your account and device. You cannot transfer them to another person's phone or share them through file transfer. Each person who wants to watch needs their own Paramount Plus subscription and must read on their own device.

How much data does downloading use compared to streaming?

Downloading uses roughly the same amount of data as streaming the episode once. The difference is that once it's downloaded, you can rewatch it without using any additional data. If you plan to watch an episode multiple times or in places without WiFi, downloading saves data overall.
