LOS ANGELES, CA — In a surprise casting move that has set the internet abuzz, Landman Season 2 is reuniting two powerhouse actors from Taylor Sheridan’s television universe — actors who last appeared together three years ago, but never shared the screen nearly as much as fans had hoped.
The upcoming season of Landman, the oilfield-based drama from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, will feature Sam Elliott and Demi Moore — both of whom played major roles in Sheridan’s previous series but had little to no interaction. Now, they’re set to share significant screen time in Landman Season 2, promising an onscreen dynamic fans have long demanded.
🎬 THE REUNION FANS DIDN’T KNOW THEY NEEDED
Elliott previously starred as the stoic, grief-hardened Shea Brennan in 1883, Sheridan’s critically acclaimed Yellowstone prequel, while Moore portrayed a powerful political figure in Lawman: Bass Reeves, another entry in the Sheridan-verse. Though both delivered standout performances in their respective series, the two actors never shared scenes together — despite appearing under the same creative umbrella and at the height of Sheridan’s world-building momentum.
Now, that changes. Paramount+ has confirmed both Moore and Elliott are not only returning to Sheridan’s universe — but are set to share major plotlines in Season 2 of Landman.
🛢️ WHAT THEIR CHARACTERS MIGHT BE UP TO
Moore plays Angela, a corporate strategist and legal fixer within M-Tex Oil who is navigating volatile leadership changes following the death of CEO Monty Miller (Jon Hamm). Her character, introduced late in Season 1, quickly became a fan favorite due to her commanding presence and strategic influence.
Sam Elliott, as recently announced, joins Landman Season 2 as a series regular, though his exact role has not been revealed. According to industry insiders and reporting from ScreenRant, Elliott is rumored to be playing a new landman and fixer, potentially brought in to fill the void left by Tommy Norris’s (Billy Bob Thornton) promotion.
If the rumors are true, this sets up a high-stakes showdown — or possibly an uneasy alliance — between Moore’s Angela and Elliott’s mysterious new character, bringing two of Sheridan’s strongest performers into direct conflict or collaboration.
🌟 A DYNAMIC WORTH THE WAIT
Fans and critics alike have long called for more screen time between Sheridan’s strongest performers, and Moore and Elliott are both known for commanding the screen in quiet, tension-filled moments. With both actors playing seasoned strategists in a cutthroat corporate and legal environment, Season 2 may explore ethical dilemmas, legacy battles, and generational divides — all anchored by their performances.
🗓️ PRODUCTION & RELEASE
Landman Season 2 began filming in April 2025, with scenes shot in Fort Worth, Texas, and Oklahoma. Production is expected to wrap by August, and a November 2025 premiere window has been projected, though Paramount+ has not yet confirmed the exact release date.
Returning cast includes:
Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris
Michelle Randolph, Kayla Wallace in supporting roles
Jacob Lofland, possibly reprising his role as Cooper Norris
With Elliott and Moore’s characters stepping into central positions, the new season is poised to be the most explosive yet.
📺 WHERE TO WATCH
Season 2 will stream exclusively on Paramount+, where Season 1 is also available to catch up. Behind-the-scenes footage, teaser trailers, and interviews are expected to drop throughout fall 2025.
💥 FINAL WORD
After years apart in the same creative universe, Sam Elliott and Demi Moore are finally sharing the spotlight — and it’s happening in a series where power, loyalty, and land are everything. With Sheridan’s signature mix of grit and gravitas, this reunion is more than just great casting — it’s about to become must-see television.
Prepare for fireworks.
