Landman Season 2:The Texas oil fields are coming back to life—and so is Landman. Paramount+ has officially released the trailer for Season 2, Episode 1 of Landman, and it delivers on fans’ expectations: dust, drama, power struggles, and the unmatched voices of Sam Elliott and Billy Bob Thornton, shredding the Texas heat.
The new season picks up where the first season left off—in a tangled web of ambition, oil money, and familial loyalties. But this time, the stakes are higher, the betrayals deeper, and every deal comes with a price.
Returning to the Heart of Texas
Set in the oil-rich Permian Basin, Landman continues to explore the high-stakes world of roughnecks, executives, and dreamers—people who will stop at nothing to get their hands on black gold. The Season 2 trailer wastes no time introducing us to that ruthless landscape: oil rigs swirling under a burning sunset, wild animals jostling for control, and a moral desert where power often trumps principles.
Right from the opening scene, you can feel the tension—the mix of greed, redemption, and survival that defines Taylor Sheridan’s storytelling style. With the success of Yellowstone and Tulsa King, Sheridan’s world-building is flourishing, and Landman looks poised to become the next giant in that universe.
Billy Bob Thornton Leads the Cast
Thornton returns as Tommy Norris, a charismatic but calculating landowner who negotiates oil deals with a mix of charm and cunning. In the trailer, we see him grappling with new partnerships and old enemies—a man torn between business integrity and moral boundaries. “Every deal comes with a soul worth selling,” he says in a line that perfectly captures the tone of the show.
Known for his imposing presence and darkly humorous delivery, Thornton brings a layered intensity that makes Tommy difficult to pinpoint. Whether he’s clinking glasses with billionaires or battling on the ground, his performance remains captivating.
Sam Elliott’s Powerful New Role
Then there’s Sam Elliott, whose arrival in Season 2 has fans excited. His raspy voice and seasoned screen presence add even more power to the series. Elliott plays Buck Matthews, a former oil driller turned environmental activist—a man who once fueled the very system he’s now fighting against.
In the trailer, Buck stands as the moral counterpoint to Thornton’s Tommy, challenging him in a scene that’s pure cinematic lightning:
“You can’t buy salvation with a barrel of oil.”
It’s a line that lands like a hammer—one that undoubtedly sets off a decisive clash between two philosophies: power and conscience.
New Faces, New Struggles
Season 2 also introduces Zoey Deutch, Michelle Randolph, and Ali Larter in expanded roles. Their characters bring a new dimension to a world dominated by men with oily hands and troubled consciences. The trailer also reveals some more personal subplots—romantic tension, family strife, and loyalties tested under pressure.
The series continues to weave modern-day themes—such as corporate greed, environmental damage, and the price of ambition—into a uniquely Texan narrative. Every scene feels cinematic: open fields, creaking pump jacks, and endless horizons that both inspire and destroy.
Cinematic Production and Taylor Sheridan’s Special Courage
Sheridan’s signature style is everywhere in this season. The tone is raw, earthy, and unabashedly masculine, yet brimming with emotional depth. From the heart-pounding background score to the breathtaking visuals, Landman Season 2 feels less like a TV drama and more like a feature film.
The trailer’s editing builds suspense—juxtaposing flashes of explosions, boardroom confrontations, and slow-motion horseback rides through oil fields. It’s a world where cowboys wear suits, and everyone is chasing a piece of the American dream, no matter the cost.
When and Where to Watch
Landman Season 2 will premiere on Paramount+ in the spring of 2025, with the first episode titled “Pressure Point.” Fans can expect weekly releases, continuing Sheridan’s signature slow-paced storytelling that will keep viewers gripped until the last frame.
