Landman streams on Paramount+ with Showtime, not on Paramount+ alone

Landman is available only through Paramount+ with Showtime, the premium add-on tier. If you have a standard Paramount+ subscription without Showtime, you will not see the show in your library. You need to add the Showtime bundle to your existing account or start a new subscription that includes it.

The show premiered in November 2024 and is a drama series starring Billy Bob Thornton. New episodes release weekly on Sundays. Because it is a Showtime original production, Paramount+ keeps it behind the Showtime paywall rather than making it available to all Paramount+ subscribers.

Key Takeaways

  • Landman requires Paramount+ with Showtime; a standard Paramount+ subscription does not include it.
  • You can add Showtime to an existing Paramount+ account or purchase a bundle that combines both services.
  • New episodes air weekly on Sundays and are available to stream when ready after release.
  • If you already pay for Showtime through another provider, you may be able to use those credentials to log into the Paramount+ app instead of paying twice.

How to add Showtime to your Paramount+ account

Log into your Paramount+ account on the website or app. Go to your account settings, usually found in a menu labeled "Account" or a gear icon. Look for an option to add or manage add-ons or premium channels. Select Showtime and follow the prompts to add it to your subscription.

The cost of adding Showtime to Paramount+ varies depending on your current plan and your location. Paramount+ also offers bundle packages that combine both services at a single monthly price, which is often cheaper than paying for them separately. Check the pricing page during signup to see which option costs less for your situation.

Watching Landman with an existing Showtime subscription

If you already subscribe to Showtime through a cable provider, satellite service, or another streaming platform, you may not need to pay again. Many providers allow you to authenticate your existing Showtime account through the Paramount+ app. Open the Paramount+ app, search for Landman, and select "Sign in with your TV provider" or a similar option. Enter your existing Showtime login credentials.

This feature is called TV provider authentication and works with most major cable and satellite companies. It does not work with all providers, so if you do not see the option or your credentials are rejected, you will need to add Showtime directly through Paramount+. Contact your cable or satellite provider's customer service if you are unsure whether your account supports this feature.

When new episodes release and how to watch them

Landman releases new episodes every Sunday. Episodes become available to stream at 9 p.m. Eastern Time on the night they air. You can watch them on demand at any time after that—you do not have to tune in at a specific time.

The show is available on the Paramount+ app for phones, tablets, and smart TVs, as well as on the Paramount+ website. You can also cast from your phone to a compatible TV using Chromecast or AirPlay. read episodes to your device if you want to watch offline, though this feature is available only on the mobile app.

Troubleshooting access problems

If you have Paramount+ with Showtime but still cannot find Landman, try signing out of the app completely and signing back in. Sometimes the app does not when ready reflect a newly added subscription. Close the app entirely, wait a few seconds, and reopen it.

If you are using TV provider authentication and the show is not appearing, verify that your provider account is current and that you are using the correct login credentials. Some providers require you to re-authenticate every few months. If you continue to have trouble, contact Paramount+ customer support through the app or website—they can confirm whether your account has access to Showtime content.

Other Showtime originals on Paramount+

Landman is one of several Showtime original series now available through Paramount+ with Showtime. Other shows in this category include Yellowjackets, Dexter, The White Lotus, and Billions. All of them require the Showtime add-on and are not included in a standard Paramount+ subscription.

Paramount+ also produces its own original shows that are included in the base subscription at no extra cost. These appear in the main Paramount+ library and do not require Showtime. The distinction can be confusing, so if you are unsure whether a show requires Showtime, search for it in the app—it will tell you whether it is included in your current plan.
