Season 2 begins about six months after Season 1’s dramatic finale, with Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) assuming leadership of M‑Tex Oil after Monty Miller’s death. Thrust into a job he never wanted, Tommy is now responsible for running the company, managing high‑stakes energy deals, and navigating new alliances under intense corporate and criminal pressure .
With the series officially renewed in March 2025 and filming underway since April in West Texas, Landman aims for a November 2025 premiere on Paramount+ As was the plan with the first season, Sheridan wants it scheduled in the fall awards window .
Season 2 brings several key new faces: Sam Elliott joins as a series regular, reuniting him with Thornton and promising deep generational and moral clashes. Additional new arrivals include Shea Whigham, Diane Lane (rumored), Isabel May, and Stefania Spampinato, expanding the narrative world beyond Texas oil fields .
Major new arcs revolve around cartel boss Gallino (Andy García), who now has corporate ambitions in the oil world. Tommy faces the dilemma of either collaborating with him or resisting, while handling internal friction at M‑Tex—particularly with lawyer Rebecca, the company’s board, and his own family members Ainsley, Cooper, Angela, and Cami .

Beyond boardroom drama and cartel politics, Season 2 also heightens personal stakes: Tommy struggles to balance leadership with family crises, Cami (Demi Moore) must step into newly powerful territory, and Ainsley (Michelle Randolph) explores her own ambitions. Environmental and regulatory threats—like lithium mining, price‑fixing investigations, and oil‑rig explosions—add realism and raise ethical questions throughout
