LOS ANGELES, CA — Taylor Sheridan’s gritty oil-field drama Landman is digging deeper in Season 2, with production now underway and key members of the creative team expressing long-term ambitions for the hit series. After a breakout first season, fans are eager to know what lies ahead — and we’ve compiled everything currently known about Season 2 of the Paramount+ juggernaut.
🛢️ LANDMAN IS JUST GETTING STARTED, SAYS CO-CREATOR
Co-creator Christian Wallace, the real-life West Texas native whose experiences partly inspired the show, confirmed in an interview with The Direct that the Landman universe has plenty of fuel left in the tank.
“As long as there are stories to tell, I would love to keep telling them,” Wallace said. “And I think we really just skinned the surface on our first season… that’s saying something because we covered a lot of ground.”
Wallace hinted that the show could run for several seasons, diving deeper into the high-stakes world of land rights, oil exploration, and the human cost of energy.
🎙️ JACOB LOFLAND ON COOPER NORRIS’ FUTURE
Jacob Lofland, who portrays Cooper Norris — a young man who narrowly survived a life-threatening ordeal in Season 1 — told Collider in December that he’s “hoping more than anything” to return for Season 2.
“I have no idea what’s happening next,” Lofland admitted. “But I’d love to come back. There’s so much left for Cooper’s story.”
Though his return hasn’t been officially confirmed, sources close to the production suggest the character may have a pivotal redemption arc, possibly tied to his fractured relationship with Tommy (Billy Bob Thornton).
🎬 SEASON 2 IS IN PRODUCTION – HERE’S WHERE IT’S FILMING
Filming for Season 2 officially began in April 2025, with crews working across Fort Worth, Texas, and new locations in Oklahoma. These changes are said to reflect an expanded narrative that goes beyond West Texas to explore national-level conflicts in the energy sector.
Local reports suggest scenes include courtroom drama, protest clashes, and new oil rigs, indicating more political and environmental tension will be woven into the plot.
🌟 BIG NAME CASTINGS & WHO’S RETURNING
In a move that has fans buzzing, Sam Elliott has joined the cast for Season 2. While his role remains under wraps, Paramount+ confirmed his casting in April — and his presence promises a major shift in dynamic.
Returning cast members likely include:
Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris
Demi Moore as Angela
Michelle Randolph and Kayla Wallace in their respective roles
Potential return of Jacob Lofland as Cooper Norris
Elliott’s role is rumored to be either a rival oil titan or a political influencer — a new threat or ally in Tommy’s increasingly unstable world.
🗓️ RELEASE DATE ESTIMATE: LATE 2025 OR EARLY 2026
Although Paramount+ has not set a firm premiere date, Season 2 is expected to finish production by August 2025, with an estimated release window of November 2025 or early 2026. Based on Taylor Sheridan’s past work schedule (notably Lioness and Yellowstone), fans can expect a fast post-production turnaround.
📈 SEASON 1 SUCCESS PAVED THE WAY
The first season of Landman, which concluded on January 12, 2025, was a critical and commercial hit. It quickly became Paramount+’s most-watched original series, even outperforming early expectations for viewership.
Despite its success, the show wasn’t renewed until March 12, causing a brief fan panic — though insiders suggest this was due to behind-the-scenes negotiations with top talent and scheduling issues.
🔍 WHAT TO EXPECT IN SEASON 2
According to early leaks and writers’ room chatter, Season 2 will dig deeper into:
Angela’s family drama, especially the rising role of her son
Corporate espionage in the oil industry
Tommy’s growing isolation as threats close in
Environmental activists entering the storyline
Legal showdowns over land rights and drilling practices
📺 WHERE TO WATCH
Landman Season 2 will stream exclusively on Paramount+, alongside Season 1 and future behind-the-scenes features. A Season 1 recap and early sneak peeks are expected to launch in fall 2025 ahead of the premiere.
Final Word:
With Taylor Sheridan at the helm, Sam Elliott entering the fray, and plenty of story left to tell, Landman Season 2 is shaping up to be a high-octane, character-driven continuation of one of TV’s most compelling new dramas. If Season 1 scratched the surface, Season 2 is about to strike oil.
Stay tuned for updates — the West is just getting started.
