‘Landman’ Season 2 Gets the Oil Rigs Firing With Groundbreaking Announcement

Writer, producer, and director Taylor Sheridan continues his small-screen success beyond just the world of Yellowstone, with his latest West Texas drama having now revealed some groundbreaking news about its upcoming second season. Sheridan has now collaborated with Paramount and their streaming platform Paramount+ multiple times, all of which have been either critical or financial wins – sometimes both.

Now, Sheridan’s drama series Landman, which premiered on Paramount+ last November, has hit the ground running with Season 2, with filming having now begun. According to a report by Variety, not only has Landman Season 2 now started production, but the series has also added a major Hollywood icon, and Oscar nominee to the roster, bringing Demi Moore back for a much more prominent role this time around.

Moore, who played a smaller supporting role in Landman Season 1 as Cami Miller, the wife of oil company owner Monty Miller, played by Jon Hamm, will now be “second billed” just behind lead actor Billy Bob Thornton. The first season received some criticism for wasting the talents of Moore and, according to co-creator Christian Wallace, this is something that Landman Season 2 will rectify.

“There is a lot more story left to tell with Cami. Taylor has big plans, that’s all I’m going to say.”

‘Landman’ Was Another Massive Hit for Taylor Sheridan & Paramount

Alongside Billy Bob Thornton and Demi Moore, Landman Season 2 stars Oscar nominee Andy Garcia, Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace, Mark Collie, James Jordan, and Colm Feore. Currently, no premiere date has been revealed, but considering cameras are now rolling on the second season, it’s likely that Landman Season 2 will debut later this year.

Created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, Landman is inspired by Wallace’s podcast “Boomtown,” and stars Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris, an old-school landman for an oil company. Despite somewhat mixed reviews, the series has been another huge hit for both Sheridan and Paramount, landing 14.6 million viewers in its first week and becoming one of the streamer’s biggest debuts in years. You can check out the official synopsis for Landman below.

“In the heart of Texas, roughnecks and billionaires try to get rich quick in the oil industry; Tommy Norris, a struggling executive, tries to take his company to the top during the fuel boom.”

Outside of Landman, Taylor Sheridan continues to carve out a legacy for himself and his smash-hit series, Yellowstone, which has now sparked multiple spin-offs with many more on the way. Alongside prequel shows 1883 and 1923, the main Yellowstone series will continue with a sequel show led by series regulars Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser as Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler, respectively. If that was not already enough for Sheridan fans, another series set directly after the events of Yellowstone, The Madison, is also in the works and will find Hollywood icon Michelle Pfeiffer in the lead as the head of the McIntosh family, who move from New York City to the Madison River valley of central Montana.
