Taylor Sheridan’s hit-making streak continues, and Landman is shaping up to be Paramount+’s next big obsession. After a buzzworthy first season and a quick renewal, fans are counting down the days until Billy Bob Thornton returns as West Texas landman Tommy Norris — and Season 2 promises even more twists, power struggles, and high-stakes oil-field drama.
Landman Season 2 Release Date
Paramount+ has officially confirmed that Landman Season 2 premieres on Sunday, Nov. 16.
The new season will feature 10 episodes, rolling out weekly.
Season 2 Trailer: Demi Moore Steps Into the Spotlight
The first teaser, released Sept. 4, hints at a major shift in power. Demi Moore’s Cami Miller takes center stage as she steps into her late husband’s role and faces the ruthless world of oil-money politics.
One standout line from the teaser says it all:
“The only difference between me and my husband… is that I’m meaner.”
Expect more boardroom battles, higher stakes, and sharper confrontations than ever before.
First Look: New Images From Season 2
Paramount+ also released a batch of early images featuring:
- Billy Bob Thornton back in action as Tommy Norris
- Ali Larter and Michelle Randolph, confirming Ainsley is now attending TCU
- Jacob Lofland and Paulina Chávez continuing their complicated relationship
- Plenty of shots hinting at rising tensions across the oil fields
These stills don’t give away the plot, but they set the tone for a grittier season.

Who’s Not Returning?
- Jon Hamm will not return as Monty Miller, as his character died in Season 1.
Where Season 1 Left Off
Season 2 picks up after several major cliffhangers:
- Tommy becomes the reluctant president of M-Tex Oil after Monty’s death.
- A risky drilling deal is on the brink of bankrupting the company.
- He now has to manage cartel tensions with Gallino, who wants a stake in the oil business.
- At home, Tommy’s family life is unraveling as Cooper and Ariana’s relationship becomes increasingly dangerous and Ainsley prepares for adulthood.
Season 2 is set to escalate all of these conflicts.
Landman’s Real-Life Inspiration
The series is adapted from the Texas Monthly podcast “Boomtown,” which explored life and labor in the Permian Basin. Co-created by former roughneck Christian Wallace, Landman blends authenticity with Sheridan’s signature dramatic flair.
