Landman is not currently available on YouTube TV

Landman is a Paramount+ original series, which means it streams exclusively on Paramount's own service, not on YouTube TV. YouTube TV carries many cable channels and streaming apps, but Paramount+ is a separate subscription you would need to purchase directly from Paramount. The show premiered in November 2024 and stars Billy Bob Thornton as a crisis manager in the oil industry. Because Paramount owns both the show and the Paramount+ streaming platform, they keep new episodes there rather than licensing them to other services like YouTube TV.

If you want to watch Landman, you have two main paths: subscribe to Paramount+ on its own, or check whether your YouTube TV package includes a Paramount+ add-on. Some YouTube TV regional plans offer this option, though it costs extra on top of your YouTube TV bill. Neither option is included in your base YouTube TV subscription.

Key Takeaways

  • Landman streams only on Paramount+, not through YouTube TV's main channel lineup or included streaming apps.
  • Some YouTube TV plans offer Paramount+ as a paid add-on, which would give you access to Landman without a separate subscription account.
  • A standalone Paramount+ subscription costs $5.99 per month for the ad-supported tier or $11.99 per month for ad-free viewing.
  • YouTube TV does carry Paramount Network (the cable channel), but that channel does not show Landman episodes—the show is exclusive to Paramount+.
  • New episodes of Landman typically release on Sundays during the season run on Paramount+ only.

How to check if your YouTube TV plan includes Paramount+ as an add-on

Open YouTube TV on your device and navigate to your account settings. Look for the "Memberships" or "Add-ons" section—the exact name varies depending on whether you are using a phone, tablet, computer, or streaming device like Roku or Apple TV. If Paramount+ appears there as an option, you can add it for a monthly fee without canceling or changing your YouTube TV service.

The add-on typically costs $5.99 to $11.99 per month on top of your YouTube TV bill, depending on which Paramount+ tier you choose. The ad-supported tier is cheaper but includes advertisements during shows. The ad-free tier costs more but removes all ads. If the add-on is not listed in your account, it may not be available in your region or on your specific plan type.

Once you add Paramount+ through YouTube TV, you can watch Landman on the same devices where you watch YouTube TV. Your login credentials will work across both services, and the charge will appear on your YouTube TV bill rather than as a separate transaction.

Subscribing to Paramount+ directly instead of through YouTube TV

If you do not want to add Paramount+ through YouTube TV, you can sign up for it separately at paramount.com or through the Paramount+ app on your phone, tablet, or streaming device. You will create a new account and choose between the ad-supported plan ($5.99 per month) or the ad-free plan ($11.99 per month). This is a completely separate subscription from YouTube TV and will appear as its own charge on your credit card or payment method.

Once you subscribe directly to Paramount+, all episodes of Landman that have already aired will be available to watch when ready. New episodes typically release on Sundays during the season run. You can watch on any device where you install the Paramount+ app or log in through a web browser. You do not need YouTube TV at all to watch Landman this way.

What YouTube TV does carry from Paramount

YouTube TV includes Paramount Network, which is the cable channel owned by Paramount. However, Paramount Network does not air Landman—the show is exclusive to the Paramount+ streaming service. Paramount Network shows different programming, mostly reality and documentary content that is separate from Paramount+ originals.

YouTube TV also does not include CBS in all markets, though some regional plans do carry it. Even in markets where CBS is available through YouTube TV, Landman does not air on CBS; it streams only on Paramount+. This is a common point of confusion because Paramount owns both CBS and Paramount+, but they operate as separate platforms with different content libraries.

Other ways to watch Landman outside of Paramount+

Beyond Paramount+ and YouTube TV, you cannot rent or purchase individual Landman episodes through services like Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, or Google Play. Paramount keeps the show exclusive to its own platform for at least the first run of each season. This exclusivity is how Paramount+ justifies its subscription cost and encourages people to sign up.

Some cable providers that offer on-demand services may eventually carry Landman episodes if Paramount licenses them, but this typically happens months or years after the season ends on Paramount+. Your best option for watching Landman remains a Paramount+ subscription, either added to YouTube TV or purchased separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I watch Landman for free anywhere?

Paramount+ offers a free trial period for new subscribers, usually seven days, which would let you watch several episodes at no cost. After the trial ends, you need a paid subscription. There is no free ad-supported tier of Paramount+ that includes Landman episodes.

Does YouTube TV's free trial include Paramount+ add-ons?

YouTube TV's free trial covers the base YouTube TV service, but add-ons like Paramount+ are not included in the trial period. You would need to pay for the Paramount+ add-on separately, even during your YouTube TV trial week.

Will Landman come to cable TV or network television later?

Paramount+ originals rarely move to cable or broadcast television during their initial run. Paramount keeps these shows on its streaming service to encourage subscriptions. Years after a series ends, episodes might appear elsewhere, but that is not typical for recent shows like Landman.

Is Landman available on Paramount Network?

No. Paramount Network (the cable channel on YouTube TV) and Paramount+ (the streaming service) are separate platforms with different content. Landman airs only on Paramount+, not on the Paramount Network cable channel.

What if I already have YouTube TV but do not want to add Paramount+?

You can keep your YouTube TV subscription as is and sign up for Paramount+ separately. Both services will work independently, and you will have two separate bills. This gives you the flexibility to cancel either one without affecting the other.
