The highly anticipated second season of the drama series Landman, a key part of Taylor Sheridan's expanding television empire, is set to hit Paramount+ this weekend. After a successful first season, the show returns with more intrigue and power struggles set against the backdrop of West Texas's oil boom.
What to Expect in the New Season
Demi Moore, whose character Cami Miller takes on a significantly larger role this season, has teased that the new chapter kicks off "with a bang." She further hinted that the unfolding narrative "gets juicy" as the plot thickens. The series presents a modern-day story of chasing wealth in the high-stakes environment of oil rigs.
The official synopsis for Season 2 suggests that as oil is extracted from the ground, long-buried secrets also come to the surface. It reveals that Tommy Norris, played by Billy Bob Thornton, may be reaching his breaking point sooner than anyone anticipated. He is under immense pressure from his employer, M-Tex Oil, from his colleague Cami Miller, and from the looming presence of his own family.
Release Schedule and Global Success
Season 2 will premiere exclusively on Paramount+ on Sunday, November 16. The episodes will be released at midnight Eastern Time, which is 9 PM Pacific Time on the previous day. A spokesperson for Paramount, Kate Mann, confirmed that new episodes will continue to drop every Sunday at the same time.
The show has already proven to be a massive hit for the streaming platform. Since its debut in November 2024, the first season has amassed approximately 35 million streams worldwide, making it the most-watched original series in Paramount+'s history. Billy Bob Thornton's performance was also recognized with a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Drama Series.
Cast and Creative Team
Co-created by the prolific Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, Landman is inspired by the 11-part podcast titled Boomtown. The show is described as an "upstairs/downstairs story" that contrasts the lives of the roughnecks on the ground with the wildcat billionaires in boardrooms, all driving an economic boom that has profound effects on the climate, economy, and global politics.
The ensemble cast for the second season includes returning fan favourites and new faces. The key players are:
- Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris
- Demi Moore as Cami Miller
- Andy Garcia as Gallino
- Ali Larter as Angela Norris
- Jacob Lofland as Cooper Norris
- Michelle Randolph as Ainsley Norris
- Paulina Chávez as Ariana
- Kayla Wallace as Rebecca Savage
- Mitchell Slaggert as Ryder
The season will consist of 10 episodes, mirroring the structure of the first season, which ran from November 17, 2024, to January 11. The entire first season remains available for streaming on Paramount+ for viewers who need to catch up before diving into the new drama.
