Something big is brewing in the Texas oil fields, and it’s not just black gold. Landman Season 2 is officially dropping in December 2025, and fans of Billy Bob Thornton’s rough-around-the-edges Tommy Norris are about to get their fix of high-stakes drama.
Remember how Season 1 left us hanging? Tommy’s now running the whole M-Tex operation while dealing with drug cartels, family chaos, and enough workplace drama to make your head spin. Well, buckle up because things are about to get even crazier.
The Gang’s All Back (Plus a Few New Faces)
The core cast is returning for Landman Season 2, which means we’ll see Billy Bob Thornton sliding back into those worn jeans as Tommy, the crisis manager who can’t catch a break. Demi Moore’s back as Cami Miller, the oil boss’s widow who’s learning the ropes of a business that’s tougher than a two-dollar steak.
But here’s where it gets interesting – Sam Elliott has joined Landman Season 2 as a series regular. Yeah, that Sam Elliott – the cowboy with the mustache that could stop traffic. They’re keeping his role under wraps, but let’s be honest, anything Elliott touches turns to gold.
Ali Larter’s returning as Angela, Tommy’s tornado of an ex-wife, along with their kids played by Jacob Lofland and Michelle Randolph. And don’t forget Andy Garcia, who showed up in Season 1’s finale like a boss.
What’s Tommy’s Deal This Time?
Here’s the thing about Tommy – just when you think his life can’t get more complicated, it does. Thornton explained that Tommy’s now juggling being an executive AND a landman AND a family man. “He goes from having a job that’s really difficult and a job that’s very dangerous to having two,” Thornton said. “Now I’m kind of executive and a landman and a family man in the midst of this tornado.”
The guy’s basically teaching Cami the oil business while trying not to get killed by drug cartels. Tommy’s got to show Cami how to deal with the street-smart side of oil deals. “You can know something intellectually but what are the street smarts behind it?” Thornton explained. “I know how to deal with these people she’s going to have to deal with.”
Why Everyone’s Talking About This Show
Let’s face it – Landman Season 2 wouldn’t be happening if the first season wasn’t a massive hit. The show became Paramount+’s most popular original series, which is saying something when you’re competing with all of Taylor Sheridan’s other shows.
The series ranked among the top 10 original streaming series during the fourth quarter of 2024, and honestly, it’s not hard to see why. You’ve got Billy Bob Thornton being brilliant, oil industry drama that feels real, and enough family chaos to make your own problems seem manageable.
Behind the Scenes Drama (The Good Kind)
Production wrapped up filming in July 2025, and the cast couldn’t stop gushing about the experience. Ali Larter posted on Instagram: “That’s a wrap for season 2 of Landman! Our incredible cast and crew is playing at the top of their game.”
The show films all over Texas, from Fort Worth to little towns you’ve probably never heard of. They shot everywhere from TCU’s campus to places like Springtown and Benbrook. Jacob Lofland mentioned they had to slow down filming a bit because of the Texas heat – apparently, nobody wants heatstroke while pretending to manage oil wells.
What Makes This Different
Here’s what sets Landman Season 2 apart from other shows about rich people and their problems – it actually shows both sides of the oil business. Co-creator Christian Wallace wanted to depict “both the working class and the white-collar world” of the oil industry. You’re not just seeing boardroom deals; you’re seeing the people who actually work the oil rigs.
Tommy Norris isn’t your typical TV executive. He’s the guy who gets his hands dirty, literally and figuratively. He’s dealing with cartel members one day and oil executives the next, all while trying to keep his family from falling apart.
The Sheridan Effect
Taylor Sheridan knows how to make TV that people actually want to watch. Between Yellowstone, 1883, and now Landman, the guy’s basically cornered the market on shows about tough people doing tough jobs in tough places.
Landman Season 2 is part of Sheridan’s fall lineup, with other shows like Tulsa King Season 3 hitting in September and Mayor of Kingstown Season 4 dropping in October. It’s like Christmas morning for people who love gritty dramas.
The Real Tea
Look, nobody’s pretending Landman Season 2 is going to solve world peace. But sometimes you just want to watch Billy Bob Thornton navigate impossible situations while wearing the same beat-up clothes and somehow making it all work.
Tommy still likes being involved in day-to-day operations, even though he’s now running the company. “There are some days that I think he wishes he could never look at another pumpjack again,” Wallace admitted.
The show taps into something real about working-class struggles, family drama, and the complicated relationship between money and power. Plus, it’s set in Texas, where everything’s bigger and messier.
Bottom Line
Landman Season 2 drops in December 2025 on Paramount+, and if you’re not caught up on Season 1, now’s the time to binge. You’ll want to know why Tommy’s life is such a beautiful disaster before diving into whatever chaos Season 2 brings.
The oil business is dirty, dangerous, and drama-filled – and that’s exactly why we can’t look away. With Sam Elliott joining the mix and Tommy taking on even more responsibility, Landman Season 2 is shaping up to be appointment television.
