<i>Landman</i> Season 2: What We Know So Far

Spoilers ahead.

The first season of Taylor Sheridan’s Landman was released on Paramount+ in late 2024, and it quickly grew into one of the streamer’s most popular series. It’s no wonder why: Sheridan’s contemporary drama features a star-studded cast (including Billy Bob Thornton, Ali Larter, Demi Moore, and Jon Hamm) making mayhem in the world of west Texas oil rigs.

After season 1 came to a close in January, viewers have been eager to find out what’s in store for the titular landman, Tommy Norris—particularly after he’s beaten badly in the finale, “The Crumbs of Hope.” Here’s everything we know so far.

Yes. The news was officially announced on March 12, with the show’s official X (formerly Twitter) account revealing, “We’re coming back for a second season. See ya in the patch!”

The green light didn’t come as much of a surprise. Way back in May 2024, Moore seemed to confirm there’d be another season of Landman while she was promoting The Substance, saying at the Cannes Film Festival, “I’ve already completed the first season and I’m excited for us to start the second, which will be at the beginning of next year.”

Then, in a January interview with ELLE, Larter similarly teased a second chapter in the excerpted exchange:

Does production have a timeline set for the next season?

We do. [Silence.]

So, “soon.”

[Laughs.] I know. Exactly. I’m like, “Just announce it!”

Finally, the news became official in March, and production on season 2 has since launched in Texas.

It’s still unclear. Production began in early April, per The Hollywood Reporter. The outlet added that “given the production timing, a return of Landman before the end of [the year] is quite possible.” We’ll wait to hear official word from Paramount.

The first season was based on the popular podcast Boomtown, which tells the story “of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires that are fueling a boom so big it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.”

Landman’s Tommy Norris, played by Thornton, is a crisis manager for an oil company. Larter plays Tommy’s ex-wife Angela, with whom he shares two children, Ainsley and Cooper. Moore and Hamm play Cami Miller and Monty Miller, another oil industry power couple. The final season comes to a head with a clash with the local cartel, and there’s plenty more drama to be explored between the warring oil factions.

Much of the original season 1 cast is expected to return. Thornton will return as the lead protagonist, as will Moore, who will have an expanded role following her Oscar nomination, per The Hollywood Reporter. While her appearance in the first season was rather brief, she will have second billing under Thornton for season 2.

THR added that the season 2 cast will also include Larter, Andy Garcia, Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace, Mark Collie, James Jordan, and Colm Feore. Joining them will be another favorite actor of Sheridan’s: Sam Elliott, who previously starred in Sheridan’s Yellowstone prequel 1883. According to THR, his role in Landman has not yet been revealed.

For her part, Larter seems excited to return to the cast as Angela, sharing her view on the character’s unapologetic trophy-wife persona with ELLE.

“She’s a total spitfire,” Larter said. “You see her going to the bar, and she wants the attention. She loves having fun. It’s not a dirty word to her. And then you see Tommy really love her for who she is.”

She continued, “She thinks of her job as going to the gym and looking great. But you’re also watching the reverse engineering of a trophy wife, someone who’s had all this and is coming back to where she belongs.”

“I want to show all sides of a woman, and how a woman feels about her body and her sexuality,” Larter added. “So finding that, embracing that, has been a big deal—and very different from how I am in my everyday life. But I know women like [Angela]. And I kind of wish I was like her more in my early twenties.”
