‘Landman’ Season 2 Release Schedule Revealed as Show Treads New Ground

Season two of Landman, starring Billy Bob Thornton, Michelle Randolph, Ali Larter, and Demi Moore, premieres on Paramount+ on November 16, 2025. It’s been less than a year since season one ended, and the new season promises to be just as cutthroat as the first. Created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, Landman was inspired by the podcast Boomtown, which Wallace hosted. Just like Boomtown, Landman focuses on “a rugged corner of West Texas, [where] billionaire wildcatters and roughnecks are fueling an oil boom so big it’s reshaping our climate, our economy, and our geopolitics.” Landman’s second season will continue in that same vein, focusing on Tommy Norris (Thornton) and his attempts to balance the interests of M-Tex Oil executives and shareholders with those of the men doing the actual work in the oilfields. Here’s how you can watch season two of Landman.

Just Like ‘Landman’s First Season, Season 2 Will Include 10 Episodes

Landman’s debut on November 17, 2024, set the foundation for the show to become the most-viewed TV show on Paramount+ within its first month. Over the course of season one, Landman viewership remained strong all the way to the finale in January 2025. It has been confirmed that there are 10 episodes in Season 2 of Landman, although there are changes in who’s calling the shots behind the scenes. According to Ali Larter, who plays Tommy Norris’s ex-wife, Angela, co-creator Taylor Sheridan didn’t direct any episodes in Season 2. She explained, “[Stephen Kay] is directing all 10 episodes this year. Last year, Michael Friedman directed three; Stephen directed, I think, five; and Taylor directed a couple. That being said, Taylor would come in and direct all my stuff because he loves forming these characters and he wants them big and bold.”

Sheridan directed the first two episodes of Landman Season 1, while Kay actually directed six. The other two were directed by Friedman. Sheridan wrote all 10 episodes and likely wrote the entirety of Landman Season 2, too. The cadence of season one’s 10-episode arc will likely be repeated for Landman’s second season. Now that the premiere date has been announced, here’s what that looks like.

When Season 1 of Landman ended, Tommy saw his friend and boss, CEO Monty Miller (Jon Hamm), die, after which he took over leadership of the oil corporation. Monty’s wife, Cami (Demi Moore), put her trust in Tommy to continue the work of her business executive husband. Hamm won’t be back for Season 2 of Landman, but Moore will return. Hamm may not be back, but Sam Elliott joined the cast of Landman in April 2025. Elliott previously worked with Taylor Sheridan on 1883, which also aired on Paramount+. The opportunity to see Billy Bob Thornton and Elliott together is intriguing, to say the least. Thornton had a cameo in 1883, and the pair did interact. They both appeared in Tombstone, too. According to Thornton, “[Elliott] has always been a mentor and a hero of mine… I love the guy, we have a real special relationship in real life… It’s so good to see him; he lights my day up.”

In addition to Elliott, Stefania Spampinato plays the wife of drug cartel leader Galino (Andy Garcia).

There aren’t a lot of details about where the story is headed in Landman’s second season, but filming took place in both Texas and Oklahoma. This could mean some sort of business deal with oil tycoons to the north. Speculation about Elliott’s character has led to theories that he’ll swap in for Tommy Norris as the man on the ground while he begrudgingly takes on more executive duties for M-Tex. This would mean more boardroom scenes for Thornton and that Norris would be dealing with bullies of a different sort. Don’t worry about the dress code, however, because Thornton had this to say about such a transition:

“[Tommy] probably doesn’t want to, but he knows he has to. I think he owes a debt to his old friend and boss, because that’s what he wanted. And I think also, just because of his knowledge of the business, he knows he’s the one to do it. He does not want to put the suit on, but he knows he’s got to. And I don’t mean technically the suit (laughs) — I don’t think Tommy will ever change clothes.”

Season 2 promises more screen time for both Demi Moore and Andy Garcia, veteran actors who were used sparingly during Landman’s first season. With respect to Moore, Jon Hamm teased that Taylor Sheridan promised her as much, telling her that the death of her husband, Monty Miller, would “be worth your while,” presumably for both her and Cami, Monty’s widow.
