Get ready for another wild ride in the rugged West Texas oilfields as Landman Season 2 roars back on Paramount+ on November 16, 2025. Billy Bob Thornton returns as Tommy Norris, stepping into the leadership of M-TEX Oil after the jaw-dropping death of Monty Miller in Season 1’s finale. Filming kicked off in Texas in March 2025, with a massive funeral scene hinting at major twists, setting the stage for Taylor Sheridan’s signature blend of gritty humor, crime, and neo-Western drama. This high-octane showdown of oil, power, and betrayal promises to keep viewers on edge.
Season 2 picks up with Tommy navigating his new role, a shift he never sought, following Monty’s heart attack demise. The plot thickens as cartel boss Galino (Andy Garcia) looms larger, his uneasy alliance with Tommy from the Season 1 cliffhanger fueling new battles. Thornton told Variety on August 22, 2025, at 10:12 AM +07, “Tommy’s in over his head, but he’s got fight.” Family tensions escalate with ex-wife Angela (Ali Larter) and their children, Cooper (Jacob Lofland) and Ainsley (Michelle Randolph), straining under the oil boom’s pressure. Lofland hinted at a “rocky reconciliation” with Angela, adding emotional depth.
Demi Moore’s Cami Miller takes center stage, stepping into Monty’s shoes as a board member, her role expanded after a quiet Season 1. Moore, fresh from her Oscar-nominated The Substance, brings a fierce edge, with Thornton noting, “She’s learning the game from me.” The addition of Sam Elliott as a series regular injects legendary Western grit, his character—a rugged oilfield veteran—teased in a June 2025 set photo showing him confronting Tommy. Elliott’s presence, per Deadline, promises “a mentor-turned-rival dynamic.”
Filming, wrapped in July 2025 across Fort Worth and North Texas, included a sprawling funeral scene for Monty, shot with 200 extras, signaling a narrative pivot. Sheridan’s script blends oilfield chaos with cartel intrigue, drawing from the Boomtown podcast’s real-life inspiration. The 10-episode season, confirmed by Paramount+ on August 13, 2025, via X, has fans buzzing, with @LandmanFanatic posting, “That funeral tease—can’t wait for the drama!” The show’s 78% Rotten Tomatoes score from Season 1 suggests its polarizing appeal will grow.
As of today, August 22, 2025, at 10:12 AM +07, Landman Season 2 is poised to escalate the stakes, with Tommy’s leadership tested by Galino’s moves and family fractures. Will he survive the power plays, or will betrayal claim him? Sheridan’s neo-Western vision, enriched by Elliott’s gravitas and Moore’s ascent, ensures a thrilling return to the Permian Basin’s roughneck world. Don’t miss it!
