With filming wrapped and a premiere on the horizon, the show’s evolving story promises to dig even deeper into its complex world.
As the sun dips behind the Fort Worth skyline this August, “Landman” Season 2 quietly wrapped production — leaving fans hungry for what’s next in this gritty oil boomtown drama. Ali Larter — who plays Angela Norris — shared an emotional farewell to filming on social media, capturing the bittersweet moment with a glowing sunset photo. “That’s a wrap for Season 2 of ‘Landman!’ Our incredible cast and crew is playing at the top of their game,” Larter wrote: “You can feel all the time, effort, love, laughter, and dedication that goes into making our show so special. I’m so thankful to be a part of this and can’t wait to share it with you…”
“Landman,” co-created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, first exploded onto the Paramount+ scene in November 2024. The series — set against the backdrop of West Texas oil boomtowns — unfolds a modern-day tale of wealth, power, and danger beneath the hot Texas sun. It’s a high-stakes upstairs/downstairs story, where wildcat billionaires and roughneck oilmen collide in a world reshaping everything from climate to economy to politics.
With 35 million global streams and a Golden Globe nomination for Billy Bob Thornton’s compelling portrayal of Tommy Norris, the series quickly became Paramount+’s most-watched original. Thornton — who returns as the steely CEO of M-Tex Oil — hinted late last year at a second season while on “Hollywood First Look”: “The show has done very well, so it just stands to reason that they would do another one.” Filming kicked off in April, primarily around Fort Worth, including iconic spots like TCU and downtown, spilling out to smaller neighboring towns like Cresson and Benbrook.
Fans should mark their calendars for a December 2025 premiere — a date confirmed during Paramount Global’s quarterly earnings calls, where co-CEO Chris McCarthy revealed the show’s release was pushed back from an initial November target. While Paramount+ has yet to announce an exact premiere date, anticipation is mounting, especially with new cast additions. Sam Elliott joins the series as a regular, bringing his signature gravitas, though details about his role remain a closely guarded secret. These details have been reported through a combination of official executive statements, media coverage, and social media posts from the cast and crew during filming.
Meanwhile, the returning cast reads like a who’s who of Texas grit and glam: Larter’s Angela Norris, Thornton’s Tommy Norris, Demi Moore’s Cami Miller — who last year described the world of “Landman” as “a subculture we haven’t seen before” — along with Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chavez, and more. Jon Hamm’s Monty Miller — the oil titan whose death shakes the first season — is expected to be absent in the new season, but his legacy reverberates throughout the story. Andy Garcia — introduced in Season 1’s finale as the enigmatic drug kingpin Gallino — will have a larger presence, with Thornton noting, “Andy and I go way back too, first time working together though.”
Behind the scenes, co-creator Christian Wallace is eager to keep the “Landman” saga alive. Wallace told The Direct during an interview on November 16, 2024, “As long as there are stories to tell, I would love to keep telling them,” Wallace said, acknowledging that even the first season only “skinned the surface” of this sprawling, complicated world.
What lies ahead? Expect the fallout from Monty Miller’s death to dominate much of the narrative, with Tommy Norris stepping firmly into the CEO role and Cami Miller asserting her influence as she joins the company board. The delicate power plays and family dynamics that fueled the first season will deepen as the stakes rise.
