Landman has dropped its trailers for season two, and the new footage is as explosive as viewers should expect from the Billy Bob Thornton-starring Big Oil drama.
The Paramount+ series from Yellowstone co-creator and prolific hitmaker Taylor Sheridan became a ratings boon with season one, and the show’s highly anticipated return will elevate Thornton’s West Texas oil fixer Tommy Norris alongside a new scene partner — Cami Miller, played by returning star Demi Moore, who has taken over M-Tex Oil, the company left behind by her late husband (Jon Hamm), alongside Tommy.
Tommy’s fiery family — played by Ali Larter, Michelle Randolph and Jacob Lofland — all return with their own personal dramas, alongside new stars Andy Garcia (who was introduced in the season one finale) and Sheridan alum Sam Elliott. Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace, Mark Collie, James Jordan and Colm Feore round out the cast.
The season premieres Sunday, Nov. 16, with new episodes releasing weekly.
A second trailer released later in the month confirmed that Elliot will be playing the father to Thornton’s Tommy, whom he calls “Pop” in the trailer, and that the oil company Tommy and Cami (Moore) are now charged with running is facing accusations of embezzlement, insurance fraud and wire fraud. “The sharks are circling,” Tommy is told.
Here’s the logline for season two: “As oil rises from the earth, so do secrets — and Tommy Norris’ (Thornton) breaking point may be closer than he realizes. Facing mounting pressure from M-Tex Oil, Cami Miller (Moore), and the shadow of his kin, survival in West Texas isn’t noble — it’s brutal. And sooner or later something’s got to break.”
Set in the boomtowns of West Texas, Landman is a modern tale of seeking fortune among roughnecks and wildcat billionaires, fueling an oil boom so big it’s reshaping the climate, the economy and geopolitics.
Landman is produced by Paramount Television Studios, 101 Studios and Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch Productions and distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
