The oil fields of West Texas are once again drenched in fire, blood, and betrayal. Paramount+ has officially unleashed Season 2 of Taylor Sheridan’s LANDMAN, and if you thought the first season was explosive, brace yourself — this one detonates from the very first scene.

The Reluctant King
When audiences last saw Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy Norris, he was caught in a storm of ambition and violence. Now, with Monty’s sudden and suspicious death, Tommy finds himself thrust into the role of reluctant king at the helm of M-TEX Oil. Power has never felt so heavy, and every decision drags him deeper into a world where loyalty is bought with blood.

Enemies on All Fronts
Sheridan wastes no time in Season 2: the cartel has drawn its battle lines, old blood feuds are erupting along dusty backroads, and corporate knives flash just as dangerously in the boardroom as they do in the desert. For Tommy Norris, survival isn’t just about drilling for oil — it’s about staying one step ahead of the bullets and betrayals that threaten to end him at every turn.

The New Power Players
Enter Demi Moore, a captivating new addition to the cast whose elegance masks a ruthless hunger for control. Her character seduces the game with charm but wields ambition like a loaded weapon. Meanwhile, Andy Garcia lurks in the shadows, his influence weaving through politics and business with the quiet force of a puppet master capable of toppling empires.

And then there’s Sam Elliott, the grizzled legend whose very presence tips the scales of power. Every word from him lands like a hammer strike, reshaping alliances and raising the stakes.

An Opening That Sets the Tone
Season 2 doesn’t ease into the chaos — it begins with a funeral. The air is thick with grief, but also with tension so sharp it could cut steel. One gunshot could turn the pews into a battlefield. Whispers in the crowd hint at betrayal festering from within. And as the casket lowers, one question lingers: will it be the only one before the day is over?

Sheridan’s Darkest World Yet
Taylor Sheridan has built a reputation for stories steeped in grit and authenticity (Yellowstone, 1883, Tulsa King), but LANDMAN takes his storytelling into even darker territory. Every handshake hides a threat. Every family tie has the potential to strangle. In this world, survival isn’t about winning — it’s about choosing which devil you can afford to dance with.

Why Fans Are Hooked
Season 1 proved LANDMAN was more than just another oil-soaked drama. It was a raw, unflinching look at the greed, corruption, and violence pulsing beneath America’s energy empire. Season 2 doubles down, expanding the battlefield and pushing its characters into corners so tight that the only way out is with blood on their hands.

The Verdict
From its star-studded cast to its brutal narrative twists, LANDMAN Season 2 isn’t just bigger — it’s bolder, bloodier, and more relentless. Billy Bob Thornton delivers his most compelling performance yet, Demi Moore and Andy Garcia electrify the screen, and Sam Elliott proves once again why his presence is nothing short of iconic.

In West Texas, the oil may run black, but the blood runs hotter — and in LANDMAN, no one leaves clean.
