The hit drama Landman is officially back in action with its second season now under production. Paramount+ has shared a new picture of lead actor Billy Bob Thornton from the set, exciting fans who’ve been waiting eagerly since Season 1 ended.
What Is Landman About?
Landman is a popular drama series created by Taylor Sheridan, known for shows like Yellowstone. The story follows Tommy Norris, played by Billy Bob Thornton, who works as a landman for a powerful oil company in West Texas.
His job involves getting land rights and dealing with the complicated, and sometimes shady, world of oil drilling. To get the job done, Norris often finds himself in situations where he has to ignore laws and ethics.
Season 1 Success and Star Cast
When Landman premiered in November 2024, it quickly became a huge hit. The first episode alone was watched by 35 million people around the world, breaking streaming records for Paramount+. It was one of the top 10 most-watched shows on any streaming platform in late 2024, ranking at number 8.
The show featured an impressive cast including:
- Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris
- Jon Hamm (Mad Men)
- Demi Moore
- Ali Larter (Heroes)
- Jacob Lofland
- Michelle Randolph
- James Jordan
- Kayla Wallace
- Paulina Chavez
- Colm Feore
At the end of Season 1, Jon Hamm’s character died, which may lead to a bigger role for Demi Moore in the upcoming season.
Season 2 Production Begins
On April 2, Paramount+ officially announced that filming for Landman Season 2 had started. Along with the announcement, they shared a new photo of Billy Bob Thornton on set. He’s seen in character as Tommy Norris, holding the script for Season 2, Episode 1.
Although we don’t yet know what the new season’s plot will be, one exciting update has been leaked. According to Puck, veteran actor Sam Elliott may be joining the cast for Season 2. Paramount+ hasn’t confirmed this yet, but if true, it would definitely add more star power to the show.
Critical Acclaim
Landman hasn’t just been a commercial success. Critics also praised the show, and Billy Bob Thornton received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Drama Series for his role.
While fans wait for more updates, one thing is clear: Landman Season 2 is shaping up to be just as intense and dramatic as the first. With new faces possibly joining the cast and a fresh storyline ahead, the show is expected to keep its strong momentum going.
Whether you’re a fan of thrilling dramas or just love watching stories about power and pressure in the oil business, Landman promises another gripping season.
