Get ready to dive back into the world of Landman as Season 2 approaches! Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming season.
Are You Ready for Season 2 of Landman?
Landman, the acclaimed drama series created by Taylor Sheridan, is set to return to Paramount+ for its highly anticipated Season 2 on November 16. This gripping show delves into the tumultuous world of the West Texas oil industry.
Meet Tommy Norris
Starring Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris, the series follows the life of a fixer for an oil drilling corporation. Tommy navigates a myriad of challenges, from deadly accidents and legal disputes to drug cartels encroaching on company territory. His personal life is equally chaotic, dealing with his fiery ex-wife Angela (Ali Larter), his rebellious daughter Ainsley (Michelle Randolph), and his determined son Cooper (Jacob Lofland). The show presents a compelling narrative that intertwines the lives of roughnecks and billionaires, highlighting the profound impacts of the oil boom on our climate, economy, and geopolitics.
What to Expect in Season 2
The announcement of the premiere date came alongside a thrilling teaser trailer, showcasing Tommy confronting an oil well on the brink of explosion.
Inspired by the nonfiction podcast Boomtown by journalist Christian Wallace, who co-created Landman with Sheridan, the series has become Paramount+’s most-watched show, boasting 35 million viewers for its first episode. Thornton’s performance earned him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Drama Series.
Returning Cast Members
Alongside Thornton, Larter, Randolph, and Lofland, Season 2 will feature a mix of new and returning cast members. Notably, Academy Award nominee Demi Moore returns as Cami Miller, Tommy’s confidante and the wife of M-Tex owner Monty Miller (Jon Hamm, who will not reprise his role). Other returning actors include:
- Paulina Chavez as Ariana Medina
- Kayla Wallace as Rebecca Falcone
- Mark Collie as Sheriff Walt Joeberg

Recap of Season 1
In the gripping finale of Season 1, Monty suffers a heart attack, prompting Cami to offer Tommy the presidency of M-Tex oil. Tommy reluctantly accepts and faces a pivotal deal that could either save or doom the company, setting the stage for conflict with his son Cooper, who is pursuing his own ambitions in the oil industry. Meanwhile, Tommy’s life hangs in the balance as he is kidnapped by cartel members, leading to a dramatic confrontation that tests his resilience.
Award Prospects for Landman
Despite the show’s popularity, Sheridan’s works have historically struggled with Emmy nominations. With high-profile actors like Thornton leading the cast, it remains to be seen if Season 2 can break this trend.
Where to Watch Season 2
Landman is exclusively available on Paramount+, alongside Sheridan’s growing collection of series, including 1883, Mayor of Kingstown, 1923, Tulsa King, and more.
