On social media, the premiere generated 255,600 interactions, a 489 percent jump from Season 1's opener. This made Landman the most-watched original series premiere in Paramount's history, building on the first season's success, which averaged 15.8 million viewers across platforms and ranked in the top 10 U.S. series for the 2024-2025 television year.
