Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Landman’ Will Get a Major Shake-up in Season 2, Billy Bob Thornton Teases

Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan continues to be a major draw for both audiences and actors, with the lead of his latest series Landman, Oscar winner Billy Bob Thornton , teasing what’s to come in Season 2, which will see fellow Hollywood icon and Oscar nominee Demi Moore given a prominent role. Speaking with Deadline, Thornton teased how his and Moore’s characters will butt heads in the upcoming series, which is expected to premiere at the end of this year.

“Since she doesn’t really know the oil business that well, I’m there with her to show her how these people operate. You can know something intellectually but what are the street smarts behind it? I know how to deal with these people she’s going to have to deal with. I just tell her, ‘Look, some of these deals you can take but when it gets really weird and difficult, let me know because I know these guys.’”

Billy Bob Thornton’s Oilman Faces Double the Danger in ‘Landman’ Season 2

Not only does Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy take on a lot more responsibility in the second season, but he also faces a lot more danger. Though none of it will change the character too much. The actor teased:

“He goes from having a job that’s really difficult and a job that’s very dangerous to having two. Now I’m kind of executive and a landman and a family man in the midst of this tornado. It makes for some pretty interesting stuff I have to say.

I think the only difference in my wardrobe this year is every now and then I’ll throw a sportjacket over my jeans and crummy button up shirt.”
