Set against the backdrop of West Texas’s booming oil towns, “Landman” explores the thrilling world of fortune-seekers navigating the high-stakes environment of oil rigs.

As these worlds collide, the show addresses relevant themes surrounding the impacts of the oil boom on climate, economy, and geopolitics.
Renowned creator Taylor Sheridan serves as writer and producer, bringing his signature storytelling to the forefront once again. The character Tommy Norris, portrayed by the talented Billy Bob Thornton, continues to resonate with audiences thanks to his straightforward and candid personality. Season Two promises to take viewers on a wild ride as Norris confronts escalating challenges amid a backdrop of turmoil.
Returning alongside Thornton is Ali Larter, who plays his dynamic ex-wife Angela, known for her electrifying presence on screen. The cast also features the legendary Sam Elliott as T.L., Norris’s father, who adds depth to the narrative with his seasoned performance.
With its blend of gritty drama and complex characters, “Landman” is set to delve even deeper into the turbulent realities of the oil business. Fans can look forward to another gripping installment when Season Two premieres on Prime Video on November 17, marking the continuation of an engaging and provocative story that has captivated audiences.
