The derricks are rumbling again: Landman returns for Season 2 on Sunday, November 16, 2025, with new episodes dropping weekly through January 18, 2026. That slow-burn rollout mirrors the show’s first-year rhythm—letting the drama breathe while fan theories flare between Sundays. If you were hooked on the Season 1 finale’s cliffhangers, the wait is almost over.
Where We Left the Oil Patch
Season 1 ended like a wellhead blowout: M-Tex Oil’s larger-than-life CEO Monty Miller (Jon Hamm) was left for dead, while Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) stepped into power—whether he wanted it or not. Season 2 picks up in the aftermath, as Tommy is pushed from landman to kingmaker, with enemies circling and allies suddenly expensive. Expect fallout in boardrooms and barrooms alike.
Power Widowed: Cami Miller’s Next Move
Monty’s widow Cami (Demi Moore) isn’t just grieving—she’s governing. The new season frames Cami as a force channeling her loss into leverage, pressing Tommy to deliver “success” at any cost. Their uneasy alliance becomes the show’s pressure point: one part partnership, one part powder keg. The official trailer teases just how combustible that dynamic can get.

The Cartel, the Courts, and the Cost of Doing Business
Landman never pretended the oil game was clean. Season 2 doubles down on the hazards: legal fights over leases and liability, back-of-the-pickup negotiations, and the shadow of Galino (Andy Garcia), a cartel operator whose interests now intercept the supply chain. Tommy’s new title doesn’t change the frontier math—every win demands a trade, and every trade has a body count.
New Blood, Old Scars
Alongside returning favorites—Thornton, Moore, Ali Larter (Angela), Jacob Lofland (Cooper), Michelle Randolph (Ainsley), Paulina Chávez (Ariana), Kayla Wallace (Rebecca), Mark Collie (Sheriff Walt), and James Jordan (Dale)—Season 2 brings fresh faces to the field. Headlining the newcomers: Sam Elliott, whose gravitas lands like a gravel road. The casting sheet hints he’s tied closely to Tommy—exactly the kind of relationship that can rip open old wounds.

Bigger Canvas, Sharper Edges
If Season 1 was about survival, Season 2 is about stewardship—what happens when a man who knows the ground is forced to sit in the chair. The show leans into the contradictions that make West Texas boomtowns tick: ambition vs. accountability, prosperity vs. peril, family vs. the job. With the premiere locked to late fall and a finale set for the heart of winter, the schedule is built to keep the conversation hot through the holidays.
The DNA: From Podcast to Prestige Drama
At its core, Landman is inspired by the 2019 Boomtown podcast—serialized reporting on the people and pressures of the Permian Basin. That nonfiction backbone is why the series feels lived-in even when it’s operatic: rig hands, land agents, and power brokers collide under a sky that doesn’t care who wins. Season 2 promises more of that texture, now filtered through the stakes of corporate control.

Why Tommy Norris Still Hooks Us
Tommy worked because he was in between—between the field and the boardroom, the truth and the deal, the family dinner and the midnight call. Season 2 asks whether a man built for back-channel hustle can survive fluorescent-lit board meetings and security briefings. With Sam Elliott stepping in (and likely stepping on nerves), the show has the perfect foil to test Tommy’s instincts and his limits.
The Women Driving the Plot
This is the season where Cami Miller and Angela Norris quietly redraw the map. Cami turns grief into governance; Angela negotiates personal peace in a world that refuses to quit taking. Meanwhile, Ainsley and Cooper keep reminding Tommy that the cost of every decision is tallied at home. If the first year was about the job, this one’s about the inheritance—what power passes on to families and towns.
What the Trailer Teases (Without Spoiling)
The footage flashes a few unmistakable themes: tightened security at M-Tex, an uneasy courtship between capital and crime, and a series of choices that look righteous in the moment and radioactive in the morning. The language is oil-country Shakespeare—loyalty pledged over whiskey, broken by sunrise. Bring your pause button; the clues are hiding in the margins.

How to Watch & What to Watch For
Season 2 streams exclusively on Paramount+ with weekly Sunday drops. If you’re just jumping in, a quick Season 1 binge will pay dividends; the character web is thick, and the early episodes lay out the unspoken rules that govern every handshake. As you watch, track three threads: Cami vs. the board, Tommy vs. himself, and the cartel vs. the supply chain. Where those lines cross, the explosions happen.
Final Word Before the Pumps Start
Landman Season 2 aims higher without losing its dust-on-the-boots credibility. The release plan is smart, the casting shrewd, and the story poised to turn power into a moral puzzle you can’t solve in a single sitting. In a TV landscape flooded with noise, this is one show that still trusts silence—the kind before a deal, or a detonation. Lace up. Sunday’s coming.
