Landman Season 2: Confirmed Release, Cast, Plot Hints & Everything We Know

The Quick Answer Fans Are Googling: Yes, Paramount+ has officially renewed Landman for Season 2.

The gritty oil-field drama created by Taylor Sheridan will return, and while an exact date hasn’t been confirmed, production is expected to begin soon, aiming for a 2026 release window.

What Is Landman About?

Landman is Taylor Sheridan’s neo-Western drama set in the high-stakes, morally complex world of the West Texas oil industry.

It follows Tommy Norris, a corporate fixer, as he juggles cartel threats, family dysfunction, and power struggles inside M-Tex Oil.

The series blends gritty drama with real-world commentary on ambition, loyalty, and environmental cost.

Billy Bob’s Back—and So Is the Chaos

The neo-Western world of Landman is coming back, and so is its foul-mouthed fixer, Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton).

Paramount+ announced the show’s renewal on March 12, 2025, following its record-breaking success: Landman not only ranked as the most-watched premiere and finale in Paramount+ history, but it also secured Thornton a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Drama Series

Sam Elliott Joins the Fray

Here’s where it gets even better: Sam Elliott, known for his grizzled brilliance in 1883, joins the Season 2 cast.

This reunites him with Thornton for the first time since their brief but memorable screen time in the Yellowstone prequel.

Details about Elliott’s character remain under wraps, but given the tone of the show, don’t expect him to be a paper-pusher.

Who Else Is Returning?

Demi Moore (Cami), Ali Larter (Angela), Andy Garcia (Gallino), and Michelle Randolph (Ainsley) are all expected to reprise their roles.

Moore hinted at returning to set during a Cannes Film Festival interview back in 2024, fanning the speculation that Season 2 was always part of Sheridan’s larger plan.

Where We Left Off: That Brutal Season 1 Finale

Tommy Norris escaped death (barely) thanks to cartel boss Gallino. But things aren’t looking any easier.

With Monty Miller (Jon Hamm) dead from a heart attack, Tommy is now the reluctant head of M-Tex Oil, juggling cartel deals, company finances, and a dysfunctional family. Season 1 ended with enough loose threads to knit a West Texas pipeline.

What to Expect in Season 2

Tommy vs. Gallino: Expect their uneasy alliance to crack.
Ainsley’s Rebellion: Fans suspect she might betray Tommy to secure her own power.
Cooper and Ariana: That subplot? Still messy and possibly dangerous.
Cami’s Rise: Don’t underestimate her role in the next corporate showdown.

If Sheridan’s past work is anything to go by, moral ambiguity and sudden character deaths are basically guaranteed.

Fan Reactions: Wild Theories and High Hopes

The Landman fandom is on fire. Reddit threads and X (formerly Twitter) are filled with speculation ranging from Cami turning villain to Cooper switching sides.

Some fans even theorise that Tommy might take the cartel’s offer to expand M-Tex globally. One fan wrote: “If Sheridan kills off Tommy, I riot.” Another pointed out how “Landman might end up being darker than Yellowstone.”

The addition of Sam Elliott has only added fuel to the speculative fire, with many hoping for flashback sequences or a secret tie-in to 1883.

Release Date? Don’t Hold Your Breath

Although Season 2 is officially greenlit, production hasn’t started. Based on cast availability and production cycles (plus Sheridan’s famously slow creative pace), we’re predicting a mid-2026 premiere at the earliest. For reference, Lioness took around 15 months between seasons.

Real-Life Roots: The Texas Boomtown Effect

Sheridan isn’t pulling this stuff out of thin air. Landman is inspired in part by Boomtown, the Texas Monthly podcast that dives into the chaos and capitalism of West Texas oil culture.

That authenticity bleeds into every power struggle and backroom deal in the show.

How to Watch

Season 1 is streaming exclusively on Paramount+, available via Amazon and Apple TV Channels. Season 2 will follow suit.
