Excitement is building as Landman, the gritty Paramount+ drama from Taylor Sheridan, prepares for its highly anticipated Season 2 premiere on November 16, 2025. Following a stellar first season that captivated 35 million global viewers since its November 2024 debut, the series is set to return with Billy Bob Thornton reprising his role as Tommy Norris, the disheveled yet brilliant oil crisis manager. Filming, which began in April 2025 in Texas, wrapped earlier this month, promising another raw look at the West Texas oilfields that has fans counting down the days.
Season 1 ended with a seismic shift: Tommy’s boss, Monty Miller (Jon Hamm), died from a heart attack, thrusting Tommy into the presidency of M-Tex Oil—a role he never wanted. The finale also saw cartel boss Gallino (Andy Garcia) spare Tommy’s life, hinting at uneasy alliances ahead. Season 2 picks up this tension, with Thornton teasing a storyline where Tommy mentors Miller’s widow, Cami (Demi Moore), in the oil business. “She doesn’t know the streets like I do,” Thornton told Deadline in April 2025, hinting at a dynamic that will test both characters. Moore, whose role expands after her Oscar-nominated The Substance turn, promises emotional depth, while Sam Elliott joins as a series regular, adding his iconic Western gravitas.
The cast also welcomes Guy Burnet and Miriam Silverman in recurring roles, alongside returning stars Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland, and Michelle Randolph. Paramount+ announced the date on August 13, 2025, via X, igniting social media buzz. Fans on X are split—@OilRigsFan cheered, “Can’t wait for Tommy’s next fight!” while @SheridanHater groaned, “More oil propaganda?” The show’s 78% Rotten Tomatoes score reflects its polarizing appeal, praised for Thornton’s performance but critiqued for its environmental stance.
Set against the Permian Basin’s boom, Landman explores the upstairs-downstairs world of roughnecks and billionaires, inspired by the Boomtown podcast. Season 2’s production faced delays due to weather, but the team promises a tighter narrative, with Sheridan’s signature neo-Western flair. The November slot aligns with Paramount’s Sheridan-heavy lineup, following Tulsa King and Mayor of Kingstown, capitalizing on holiday viewership.
As the release nears, speculation swirls: Will Tommy navigate corporate intrigue, or will the cartel strike back? With a 10-episode run planned, Landman Season 2 aims to cement its status as Paramount+’s top original. For now, fans can rewatch Season 1, streaming now, to brace for the oil-soaked drama returning this fall.
