Monty’s gone. Tommy leads. The oil business never felt so personal
Taylor Sheridan’s gritty oil-drama Landman, led by Billy Bob Thornton as crisis executive Tommy Norris, wrapped its acclaimed first season in January 2025. Paramount+ confirmed in March 2025 that Season 2 is officially greenlit, with filming underway since April in Texas and a target premiere set for November 2025.
Season 2 picks up after the shocking death of Monty (Jon Hamm), thrusting Tommy into the spotlight as head of M‑Tex Oil. Former wife Angela (Ali Larter), son Cooper (Jacob Lofland), and daughter Ainsley (Michelle Randolph) return, each facing personal crossroads tied to the family’s shifting power dynamics. Demi Moore’s Cami also steps into a larger role, navigating the moral and political complexities left in the wake of Monty’s departure.
New to the mix is Sam Elliott, joining as a series regular. His presence signals deeper explorations of generational conflict and veteran perspective in the oil-rich landscape. Meanwhile, pressing external threats loom: cartel influence, land rights disputes, environmental tensions, and student protests visualized by TCU extras suggest Rockwell-scale conflicts ahead.
The production remains anchored in authentic West Texas roots, filming across Fort Worth and the Permian Basin. With Sheridan steering both drama and sociopolitical tension, Season 2 promises to sharpen the show’s signature blend of corporate intrigue, family loyalty, and raw American grit.
