The first season of Taylor Sheridan’s Landman was released on Paramount+ in late 2024 and after only ten episodes, viewers are hooked. The show follows the story of heavy-hitters in the world of west Texas oil rigs, punctuated by tornadoes, on-site destruction, and interfering drug cartels. The series also features a cast of well-known faces, including Billy Bob Thornton, Ali Larter, Demi Moore, and Jon Hamm.
With the season finale “The Crumbs of Hope” released on Sunday, January 12, it begs the question—will there be a second season? Here’s everything we know so far. Spoilers ahead.
Has Landman been renewed for season 2?
Officially, there’s been no renewal, but it seems like there’s a good chance for one. Sheridan had a huge hit with Yellowstone and it seems like Paramount believes in his work. In an interview in May 2024, Moore seemed to confirm there’d be another season while promoting The Substance, saying at the Cannes Film Festival, “I’ve already completed the first season and I’m excited for us to start the second, which will be at the beginning of next year.”
In an interview with ELLE, Larter was asked about a second season, leading to this exchange:
Does production have a timeline set for the next season?
We do. [Silence.]
So, “soon.”
[Laughs.] I know. Exactly. I’m like, “Just announce it!”
But the official confirmation is not yet here.
What would season two of Landman be about?
The first season was based on the popular podcast Boomtown, which tells “an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires that are fueling a boom so big it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.”
Tommy Norris, played by Thornton, is a crisis manager for an oil company. Larter plays Tommy’s ex-wife Angela, with whom he shares two children, Ainsley and Cooper. Moore and Hamm play Cami Miller and Monty Miller, another oil industry power couple. The final season comes to a head with a clash with the local cartel, and there’s plenty more drama to be explored between the warring oil factions.
Who would be cast in season 2 of Landman?
Since there’s no official season two, there’s also no official cast announcements. But likely season two would feature the main cast of Thornton, Moore, Hamm, and Michelle Rudolph as Ainsley and Jacob Lofland as Cooper, as well as regulars James Jordan, Kayla Wallace, Mark Collie, Andy Garcia, Michael Peña, and Paulina Chávez.
Larter seems excited to return to the cast as Angela, sharing her view on the character’s unapologetic trophy wife persona with ELLE.
“She’s a total spitfire,” Larter said. “You see her going to the bar, and she wants the attention. She loves having fun. It’s not a dirty word to her. And then you see Tommy really love her for who she is.”
She continued, “She thinks of her job as going to the gym and looking great. But you’re also watching the reverse engineering of a trophy wife, someone who’s had all this and is coming back to where she belongs.”
“I want to show all sides of a woman, and how a woman feels about her body and her sexuality,” Larter added. “So finding that, embracing that, has been a big deal—and very different from how I am in my everyday life. But I know women like [Angela]. And I kind of wish I was like her more in my early twenties.”
