Get ready, TV fans – “Landman” is making a grand return for its highly anticipated second season! Debuting on November 16 on Paramount+, the Taylor Sheridan drama continues to follow Tommy Norris, played by the iconic Billy Bob Thornton. Tommy, who juggles managing oil fields for M-Tex with navigating dangerous cartels and legal tangles, faces even deeper challenges this season. But it’s not just about the oil – the family dynamics, especially with the introduction of Tommy’s father T.L. (played by Sam Elliott), take center stage.
What’s in store for Tommy this time around? Thornton promises an intimate look at his character's personal battles, stating, “You’re going to see who he really is at the end of the day.” Fans can expect a more profound exploration of Tommy’s relationships and his struggle with mortality.
Ali Larter, who plays Angela, Tommy’s ex-wife, highlights the shift in storyline focus towards family. Larter describes the second season as concentrating on the “heartbeat” of the show, where family bonds are tested and exposed.
“With Angela, you go from these dinner scenes, which is how she shows her love... to questioning if they have a real chance at this working,” Larter reveals.
Meanwhile, Michelle Randolph’s character, Ainsley, steps into the spotlight as she navigates her teenage years and seeks independence. Watch her grow as Randolph teases how Ainsley begins to see her parents’ imperfections and carve out her own identity.
Even before the second season airs, cast members like Sam Elliott are already eyeing future possibilities. "I’m thinking about what’s to come," Elliott enthuses, excited about the potential directions the series might take.
One unforgettable moment from Season 1 still echoes in fans' minds – Ainsley’s bold conversation with her father about her boyfriend went viral, thanks to its candidness. Billy Bob Thornton recalls the awkward hilarity of the scene, while Michelle Randolph shares the surreal experience of filming it in front of an unsuspecting crowd.
As the buzz builds, fans are urged to catch the “Landman” Season 2 premiere on Paramount+. With its robust blend of family drama and high-stakes business intrigue, this season promises to outdo the last.
