Unpacking the Intense Plot and Unraveling West Texas Secrets
Season 2 is picking up right where that explosive first season left off, with Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) facing pressure from every angle. The official logline gives us a tantalizing hint: "As oil rises from the earth, so do secrets — and Tommy Norris’ breaking point may be closer than he realizes. Facing mounting pressure from M-Tex Oil, Cami Miller, and the shadow of his kin, survival in West Texas isn’t noble — it’s brutal. And sooner or later something’s got to break.”
The biggest lingering question from Season 1 was the fate of M-Tex founder Monty Miller. Well, the trailers confirm his death, but it's not as simple as it seemed. His widow, Cami Miller (Demi Moore), has been digging through his files and has a shocking revelation for Tommy:
"I now know why Monty was so stressed."
— Cami Miller (Demi Moore)It turns out Monty's heart troubles weren't the only reason for his stress. Allegations of embezzlement, insurance fraud, and wire fraud are swirling around M-Tex Oil, suggesting Monty might have been worried about being exposed and arrested. Cami, now at the helm of the company, warns Tommy she's "meaner than her late husband" and will be a major force this season as they try to save the company from bankruptcy. Tommy himself is eyeing the presidency of M-Tex, but it's a high-risk deal that could either save them or break them.
Family Ties and Dangerous Alliances in the Oil Fields
It wouldn't be Landman without the complicated family dynamics. Tommy's son, Cooper Norris (Jacob Lofland), decided to strike out on his own at the end of Season 1, launching his own oil company with his girlfriend, Ariana (Paulina Chávez). While initial trailer shots show him smiling with oil bursting from his wells, a crucial question from his father, "Who paid for this?", hints at trouble. It seems Cooper has a secret backer, which in this world, rarely ends well.
Adding another layer of complexity, the cartel boss Gallino (Andy Garcia), who made his debut in the Season 1 finale, is back. He's reportedly pressuring Tommy to help him legitimize his oil business. Co-creator Christian Wallace expressed his excitement about this evolving dynamic:
"I would be excited to see Andy and Billy continue acting together because they’re just such an incredible duo — both obviously just great actors and so fun to watch. As far as Andy’s storyline, what I would hope to see is just what it looks like to have in the cartel a very savvy, smart businessman who happens to be in an illegal business, working alongside Tommy in this legitimate business, and both the rewards and the complications that could bring to both men. I think that would be a fascinating thing to watch play out."

Billy Bob Thornton himself shared some insights into the evolving character dynamics this season:

— Billy Bob Thornton (Tommy Norris)Taylor Sheridan's Vision: From Podcast to Paramount+ Powerhouse
Landman, co-created and written by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, continues Sheridan’s knack for exploring the gritty, complex corners of American industries and the compelling characters who navigate them. The show is based on Christian Wallace's 11-part podcast, Boomtown, which painted a vivid picture of the wild, often dangerous lives of oil rig workers and the powerful figures behind the scenes in West Texas.
Filming for Season 2 took place across various locations in Texas and Oklahoma, including Fort Worth, the Red River, Springtown, and Jacksboro. This on-location authenticity helps root the series in the very real, often brutal, landscape it depicts.
Sheridan is a busy man, with Landman being one of three of his series (alongside Tulsa King Season 3 and Mayor of Kingstown Season 4) running simultaneously on Paramount+ this year. His distinct storytelling style, which weaves together crime, corruption, and deep human drama, is clearly evident in Landman, promising a deep dive into what it means to survive and thrive when fortunes are made and lost overnight.

However, given the critical acclaim and strong ratings of Season 1, things look promising!
Co-creator Christian Wallace has expressed his desire to continue exploring these complex characters and their world, and Billy Bob Thornton himself commented before the Season 2 announcement, "Usually shows that are this successful, they’d do it again. So, I can only imagine that they would, but I don’t know for sure.” With all the new storylines and intensified drama packed into Season 2, we're certainly hoping there's more to come from the heart of West Texas.
So, get ready for a wild ride. Landman Season 2 is poised to deliver on all fronts, diving deeper into the brutal realities of the oil industry and the compelling human stories within it. You won't want to miss a single drop!
