I think the correlation there with it being on P+ and lack of hype probably just comes down to sufficient promotion, though I did see it previewed on Today the other day and Para/10 did pay for ad spots on 9Now.
Just hope it does well for them again this time around, not a cheap show to produce!
Paramount+ Debuts Official Trailer For New Original Series Landman.
Starring Oscar Winner Billy Bob Thornton, Golden Globe Nominee Demi Moore And Emmy Award Winner Jon Hamm. Premieres Exclusively On Monday, 18 November.
Paramount+ today debuted the official trailer for the highly anticipated new original series, Landman, starring Oscar winner Billy Bob Thornton.

Co-created by Oscar nominee Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, Landman is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios and Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch Productions exclusively for Paramount+.
Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, Landman is a modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs. Based on the notable 11-part podcast Boomtown from Imperative Entertainment and Texas Monthly, the series is an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.
In addition to Thornton, the series stars Ali Larter (The Last Victim), Michelle Randolph (1923), Jacob Lofland (Joker 2), Kayla Wallace (When Calls the Heart), James Jordan (Yellowstone), Mark Collie (Nashville), Paulina Chávez (The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia), and Demi Moore (Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans). Jon Hamm (Mad Men) will star in a recurring guest role with Andy Garcia (Expendables franchise) and Michael Peña (End of Watch) also serving as guest stars.
Landman is executive produced by Taylor Sheridan, David C. Glasser, David Hutkin, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, Christian Wallace, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Friedman and Stephen Kay. Dan Friedkin and Jason Hoch for Imperative Entertainment, and J.K. Nickell and Megan Creydt for Texas Monthly also executive produce. Peter Feldman serves as co-executive producer. Landman is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
The series is the latest addition to Sheridan’s growing slate on Paramount+, which includes 1923, 1883, Lioness, Mayor Of Kingstown, Tulsa King and Lawmen: Bass Reeves.
Paramount+ Australia, Screen Australia and Screen NSW today announced the commission of Paramount+ Original drama series, Playing Gracie Darling, a six-hour scripted drama produced by Curio Pictures. Sony Pictures Television is distributing the series internationally.
Created and written by Miranda Nation (Undertow) and directed by Jonathan Brough (Rosehaven, The End), Playing Gracie Darling, stars Morgana O’Reilly (The White Lotus Season Three*, Friends Like Me*) playing Joni and features an ensemble cast of notable names, including Rudi Dharmalingam (Wakefield, Great Expectations) playing Jay, Celia Pacquola (Rosehaven, Love Me) playing Ruth, Annie Maynard who plays Anita (Upper Middle Bogan, Colin From Accounts) and Anne Tenney (The Castle, A Country Practice) playing Moira, with more announcements to follow.
Playing Gracie Darling is executive produced by Curio’s Jo Porter and Rachel Gardner, Sophia Mogford for Paramount+ and Miranda Nation. Laura Nagy is on board as associate producer and additional scripts are written by Anya Beyersdorf (Fake).
When Joni was 14, her best friend Gracie Darling disappeared during a séance and hasn’t been seen since.
Twenty-seven years on, the local kids in a small town get their kicks with a game of ‘Playing Gracie Darling’ – but the seemingly innocent game turns sinister when another girl disappears.
Joni, now a child psychologist, returns to the town where her best friend Gracie mysteriously disappeared to confront her deep fear of the unknown and find out what really happened to Gracie that fateful night.
Local sergeant Jay partners with Joni to uncover the truth, while Gracie’s sister Ruth faces a mother’s worst nightmare when her own daughter vanishes under hauntingly similar circumstances.
Moira, Ruth’s mother, clings to faith as she faces her own worst fears.
Actor Morgana O’Reilly, who plays Joni, said: “I’m beyond thrilled to be a part of this series. I devoured the scripts in one sitting. Joni is a complex, paradoxical woman haunted by ghosts of past and present. I’m especially drawn to the relationship between her and her teenage daughter.
“I know how triggering motherhood can be; when you think you have something well hidden, your kids know how to dig it up. So many skeletons. I can’t wait to get stuck into this character and her world.”
Jo Porter and Rachel Gardner, Executive Producers, Curio Pictures said: “Miranda Nation captured our imagination with her brilliant story ignited by the idea of a seance gone wrong. Playing Gracie Darling is a unique genre mash of mystery thriller, family drama and coming of age, and this project has continued to draw people to its provocative and propulsive characters with universal themes at its heart.
“We couldn’t be prouder of the creative team that is forming around it, led by Miranda Nation and Director Jonathan Brough and our brilliant cast.”
Grainne Brunsdon, Screen Australia COO, said: “Playing Gracie Darling offers a fresh take on the supernatural mystery genre that is sure to captivate audiences both in Australia and abroad. With a strong, award-winning team at Curio and compelling scripts from Miranda Nation and Anya Beyersdorf, this series promises to be a must-watch on Paramount+.”
Kyas Hepworth, Head of Screen NSW, said: “Miranda Nation has expertly blended the supernatural, coming of age and crime thriller genres, and with executive producers Jo Porter and Rachel Gardner from Curio Pictures on board, Playing Gracie Darling is sure to be an engrossing and enthralling drama. I’m excited to welcome this project to NSW, with the series creating many fulltime jobs for local cast and crew in the state when it begins shooting in Sydney and regional areas.”
Daniel Monaghan, SVP Content and Programming, Paramount Australia said: “We are thrilled to bring audiences this premium female led crime thriller. Morgana O’Reilly is a star on the rise. We are so fortunate to have secured her for the lead role along with one of the most impressive ensemble casts this series could have hoped for.”
Playing Gracie Darling is a Curio Pictures production for Paramount+. Major production investment from Screen Australia in association with Paramount Australia. Financed with support from Screen NSW’s Made in NSW Fund. Local distribution by Paramount Australia. International Sales by Sony Pictures Television. Post, digital and visual effects supported by Screen NSW.
Hilarious double episode premiere. Frasier just as chaotic as ever.
Looking forward to seeing where the story goes with Frasier and Holly.

Aussie Shore. Now Streaming On Paramount+.
One’s no fun, but two can be a party! Get your drinks ready Australia, the first two episodes of Aussie Shore are already making a splash on Paramount+ today.

An iconic Sydney nightclub inspired by the show will be set up at the activation (with free non-alchholic jelly shots available), while series lead Lincoln Younes will also appear.
Anyone watched the first few eps of Aussie Shore?
It’s quite something.
So it’s pornography on a streaming service?
Look it’s highly sexual, so it’s not far off.
But I didn’t see any orgies (though there was talk of them) or full frontal nudity (definitely lots of breasts and butt cheeks) in the first two episodes available.
They definitely haven’t held back with letting the cast almost do whatever they want. It’s… a lot.
Among the new shows is renovation show Colin and Justin: Sub Zero Reno.
Colin & Justin: Sub Zero Reno (6×60’), a co-production between Far Point Films and WTFN for Paramount+. The series follows design duo Colin and Justin as they embark on a bold renovation project, transforming a dilapidated property into a luxurious tourist destination, all while contending with the harsh Canadian winter. The designers themselves admit that the 10-week undertaking, which features extreme weather conditions like ice storms and sub-zero temperatures, pushes them to the limit.
The Oprah special ‘The Presleys’ is already streaming on Paramount+, ahead it’s premiere on 10 tonight.
