Landman is not currently available on YouTube TV

Landman, the oil industry drama series starring Billy Bob Thornton, streams on Paramount+ rather than YouTube TV. The show premiered on Paramount+ in November 2024 and remains exclusive to that service. YouTube TV does not carry Paramount+ as a channel or bundle option, so you cannot watch Landman through a YouTube TV subscription alone.

Paramount+ is owned by Paramount Global, the same parent company that owns CBS and other networks. Paramount+ keeps its original series — including Landman, Yellowstone prequels, and Star Trek shows — on its own streaming platform rather than licensing them to competitors like YouTube TV.

Key Takeaways

  • Landman streams exclusively on Paramount+, not on YouTube TV or any other streaming service.
  • YouTube TV offers live television and on-demand content from its partner networks, but Paramount+ originals are not included.
  • You can watch Landman by subscribing to Paramount+ directly, which costs between $5.99 and $14.99 per month depending on the plan you choose.
  • Some cable and internet providers bundle Paramount+ with their packages, so check your current subscriptions before paying separately for the service.

What YouTube TV includes instead

YouTube TV carries live channels from major networks including ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, and cable channels like CNN, ESPN, and HGTV. It also includes on-demand content from those networks' libraries. However, it does not include streaming services' original shows — the ones made specifically for Paramount+, Netflix, Apple TV+, or Disney+.

If you want drama series through YouTube TV, you can watch shows that air on CBS (a YouTube TV partner), but Landman is not one of them. Landman was made for Paramount+ and does not air on traditional television. The distinction matters because YouTube TV's agreements with networks cover broadcast and cable content, not exclusive streaming originals.

How to watch Landman on Paramount+

You need a Paramount+ subscription separate from YouTube TV. Paramount+ offers three plans: the ad-supported plan at $5.99 per month, the ad-free plan at $11.99 per month, and the ad-free plan with live TV at $14.99 per month. All three plans include access to the full Landman series and its entire back catalog.

Sign up at paramountplus.com or through the Paramount+ app on your phone, tablet, or streaming device. You can watch on most devices including Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Samsung Smart TVs, PlayStation, Xbox, and web browsers. YouTube TV and Paramount+ can run on the same device, so you can switch between them without unsubscribing from either service.

Checking if you already have Paramount+ access

Some cable and internet providers include Paramount+ as part of their packages at no extra cost. Comcast Xfinity, Verizon Fios, and certain AT&T plans offer Paramount+ bundled with their services. If you subscribe to any of these providers, log into Paramount+ with your provider credentials to see if access is already included in your current plan.

Students can also get Paramount+ for $2.99 per month through the Student Discount Program if they verify their status through SheerID. Military members may find discounts through military-specific offers that Paramount+ runs periodically. Before starting a new subscription, check whether your employer, school, or membership organizations offer discounted or included access.

Other ways to watch Landman

You can purchase individual episodes or the full season through digital retailers like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, or Google Play. Buying the season typically costs $15 to $25 depending on the retailer and whether you choose standard or high definition. This option costs more than a Paramount+ subscription but gives you permanent access without a monthly fee or commitment.

Some cable providers that carry Paramount as a traditional channel may also offer Landman on demand, though this varies by provider and region. Contact your cable company directly to ask whether Landman is available through your existing package. Cable on-demand libraries change frequently, so calling is faster than searching online.

Why Landman is not on YouTube TV

YouTube TV negotiates with individual networks and services to carry their content. Paramount Global chose to keep Landman and other original series on Paramount+ to encourage subscriptions to that platform. This is standard practice across the streaming industry — Netflix keeps its originals on Netflix, Apple keeps its originals on Apple TV+, and so on.

YouTube TV does carry some Paramount-owned content, like live CBS broadcasts and on-demand CBS shows, but original series made specifically for Paramount+ are not part of those agreements. The licensing terms are separate, and Paramount+ does not license its originals to YouTube TV or other competing services. This exclusivity is how streaming platforms justify their subscription costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I watch Landman for free anywhere?

Landman is not available for free on any major streaming service or network website. Paramount+ offers a free trial period for new subscribers in some regions, which would let you watch the series at no cost during that window. Check Paramount+ directly to see if a trial is currently available in your area.

Will Landman ever come to YouTube TV?

It is unlikely. Paramount+ is Paramount Global's streaming platform, and the company uses original series to attract subscribers. Landman was created specifically for Paramount+ and is not expected to move to other services. Networks sometimes license older content to competitors after exclusivity periods end, but Landman is too new for that to happen soon.

Can I watch Landman on Paramount's regular cable channel?

No. Landman is a Paramount+ original and does not air on the Paramount cable channel or any traditional television network. It streams only on Paramount+.

Is Paramount+ included in YouTube TV's premium add-ons?

No. YouTube TV offers add-on channels like Showtime and Starz, but Paramount+ originals like Landman are not included in YouTube TV's base service or standard add-ons. You must subscribe to Paramount+ separately.

What if I already pay for YouTube TV and Paramount+?

You can use both services on the same device and switch between them as needed. Your YouTube TV subscription covers live channels and on-demand network content, while your Paramount+ subscription covers Landman and other Paramount+ originals. The two services do not overlap, so both subscriptions serve different purposes.
