The hit Paramount+ series “Landman,” co-created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, is set to return for its much-anticipated second season on November 16, featuring an impressive cast led by Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, and Sam Elliott. Building on the success of its first season, which premiered in November 2024 and garnered over 35 million viewers, the new season promises to delve even deeper into the intriguing world of oil and the complex relationships within it.
In “Landman,” Thornton stars as Tommy Norris, a landman navigating the tumultuous terrain of an independent oil rig in West Texas. The series draws inspiration from the acclaimed 2019 podcast “Boomtown” by Texas Monthly. The cast also includes notable talents such as Andy Garcia, Ali Larter, and Colm Feore, with Sam Elliott joining in season 2 as Tommy’s father, T.L.
Thornton emphasizes that the new season will distinguish itself with a more measured narrative pace. While season one was focused on introducing the business and its characters, the upcoming episodes will prioritize the exploration of personal and familial dynamics. Thornton expressed his excitement about the season, stating, “This one really ramps up as it goes on, and there’s more and more intensity.”
