Confirmation, Cast & Everything We Know

Paramount+’s lucrative partnership with Taylor Sheridan has produced another hit in the form of 2024’s Landman, and the drama series will return for season 2. Created by Sheridan and Christian Wallace, the series concerns the oil business of West Texas, and the myriad of characters that come along with such an explosive industry.

Much like Sheridan’s Yellowstone, Landman exists at the crux of a handful of hot-button topics, including environmental issues, business ethics, and the overall politics of a nation dependent on fossil fuels. Behind all that, though, are compelling dramas about the people that drive the industry.

Though it’s separate from the aforementioned Yellowstone franchise, Landman is very much like it’s neo-Western predecessor in many ways. Perhaps most importantly, Landman serves up a bevy of complicated and multidimensional characters that mirror the complicated issues tackled on a grander scale by the series.

All this adds up to another smash-hit for Paramount+, proving that Sheridan is still the biggest name in modern TV. Now, Landman has secured a season 2 renewal, and that is the first step on its long road to becoming another TV institution.

With filming already concluded, there won’t be any new casting announcements until the show’s third season. On a more exciting note, however, that also means season 2 is just around the corner, with a confirmed release date for November 16. Recent weeks have also seen the release of a teaser trailer and several images.

One of the most recent narrative reveals is that veteran actor and Oscar nominee Sam Elliott will be playing Tommy’s father in Landman season 2, adding excitement as viewers wait to see the dynamic between these two stars.

Excitingly enough, Landman season 2 is set to premiere on November 16 on Paramount+, meaning the new series is just around the corner. For Taylor Sheridan fans, this is coming just after Tulsa King season 3 and Mayor of Kingstown season 4, offering an exciting lineup of shows for Paramount+ subscribers this Fall.

Landman Season 2 Trailer

Landman season 2’s current trailer is just a minute long, but it includes some exciting glimpses at Sam Elliott, as well as Demi Moore’s expanded role in the new season. This is just a teaser for the new season, and a longer look will likely be provided before the title airs in November.

After becoming Paramount+’s best debut in 2 years, it seemed inevitable that Landman would be picked up for a second season. The announcement finally came in March 2025 to the surprise of almost no one, and Taylor Sheridan’s hot streak on the small screen continues.

With the renewal of Landman, nearly every Taylor Sheridan program has ran for at least two seasons. Work began in the middle months of 2025. With casting calls going out before the season was even renewed, Paramount+ clearly tried to expedite Landman‘s return.

Landman Is Not A Yellowstone Spinoff

With Yellowstone riding off into the sunset, even as its franchise expands, it’s important to note that Landman is not a part of the Yellowstone universe. While it tackles many of the same themes as Yellowstone, Landman isn’t connected, nor is it meant to be a replacement. The Dutton family has nothing to do with Landman‘s story, and it’s even drawn from a podcast series that is based on real events. This means that Landman has a chance to step out of Yellowstone‘s shadow and establish itself as a standalone hit.

The main cast of Landman will be back on hand to reprise their roles. This means Billy Bob Thornton will once again play oil company crisis executive, Tommy Norris. Shockingly, Jon Hamm’s oil executive Monty Miller died in the season 1 finale, meaning Tommy’s foil won’t be back.

Meanwhile, big stars like Ali Larter (who plays Tommy’s wife Angela) will also be back, as will Demi Moore as Tommy’s close personal friend, Cami, who is also Monty’s widow. Moore’s small role in season 1 was somewhat criticized for underutilizing the recent Golden Globe winner, but she could have a bigger role soon.

The main new cast member was added in early 2025 with the casting of Western legend Sam Elliott in a series regular role. Most of the supporting cast will also be returning. The presumptive cast of Landman season 2 includes:

Landman Season 2 Story Details

Not to be outdone by other Taylor Sheridan show, the ending of Landman season 1 was a twist-filled romp that changed the entire complexion of the series going forward.

Kicking off with the death of Monty, the final episode of season 1 saw his widow Cami take over. She opts to ignore Tommy’s advice to liquidate the company and live well for the rest of her life, and instead decides to double down on the risky oil drilling plan. Meanwhile, Tommy is captured and tortured by the cartel before learning that Galino hopes to get involved with the oil industry.

All this sets up a big clash as Cami’s plans could go belly-up, while a dangerous element like Galino and his gang begin to worm their way into the so-called legitimate business. Caught in the middle is Tommy, who is an intermediary between the two worlds, though he isn’t happy about his unflattering position.

Elsewhere, Cooper and Ariana’s relationship took a big step, and the pair only grew closer when he accepted her grief. It remains to be seen if Tommy’s prediction about their relationship will come true in Landman season 2.
