New and Returning Cast Members: Sam Elliott Joins the Oil Patch
A major factor in the anticipation for Landman Season 2 is the star-studded ensemble cast, which sees the return of several major players and the addition of a legendary Western actor. The casting news alone has elevated the profile of the second season, promising intense on-screen chemistry and dramatic depth.
Core Returning Cast
- Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris: Thornton returns as the central figure, the landman whose personal and professional life is constantly on the brink of collapse.
- Demi Moore as Cami: Moore is back as the wife of a powerful oil magnate and a friend of Tommy’s, whose own ambitions and secrets are expected to drive significant plot points.
- Andy Garcia as Galino: Garcia returns to the series, likely continuing his role as a key player in the Texas oil business, adding a layer of corporate intrigue.
- Other Returning Stars: Ali Larter, Michelle Randolph, Jacob Lofland, and Kayla Wallace are also confirmed to reprise their roles, continuing the complex Norris family and associate storylines.
Major New Cast Addition: Sam Elliott
In the most significant casting announcement for the second season, legendary actor Sam Elliott has joined the cast as a series regular. Elliott, known for his iconic voice and roles in Westerns and dramas like 1883 (also a Taylor Sheridan creation), is a massive addition to the cast. While details on his specific role are scarce, it is highly anticipated that he will play a powerful, old-school figure in the oil industry or perhaps a rival to Thornton’s Tommy Norris, adding a formidable presence to the oil patch.
Plot Predictions and The Shocking Production Move
While specific plot details for the 10-episode second season are tightly guarded, the overall direction points toward escalating corporate conflict and personal stakes for Tommy Norris. The first season ended with several unresolved issues surrounding the Norris family and the high-stakes deals for mineral rights, setting the stage for a dramatic fallout.
Anticipated Season 2 Plot Points
- Escalating Oil Politics: With new players like Sam Elliott’s character entering the fray, the competition for land and resources will likely intensify, forcing Tommy to make even riskier decisions.
- Family and Personal Drama: The complex relationships between Tommy and his children, as well as his connection to Demi Moore’s Cami, are expected to be central to the emotional core of the series.
- The Geopolitical Angle: Given the nature of the oil business, the show is expected to touch on broader energy themes, potentially involving international markets or political maneuvering, a hallmark of Taylor Sheridan's storytelling.
The Move from Fort Worth to Oklahoma
One of the most surprising and unique pieces of news surrounding Landman Season 2 is the decision to move a significant portion of the production. While the first season was heavily filmed in and around Fort Worth, Texas, recent reports confirmed that filming for Season 2 shifted north to Oklahoma. This production change suggests a narrative shift, potentially moving the action to a new oil-rich region or following a new deal that takes Tommy Norris out of his familiar Texas territory. The change in scenery promises a fresh visual landscape and new local entities to explore in the ever-expanding world of the American energy industry.
The Future is Set: Landman Season 3 is Already Confirmed
In a powerful testament to the show's success and the confidence Paramount+ has in the series, Landman was officially renewed for a third season in December 2025. This announcement came in the middle of Season 2's run, highlighting the massive viewership and critical acclaim the second season premiere received, which reportedly broke Paramount+ records. The early renewal for Season 3 is fantastic news for fans, ensuring that the saga of Tommy Norris and the Texas oil patch will continue well into 2026 and beyond. This long-term commitment allows the creators, including Taylor Sheridan, to plan multi-season story arcs, promising even deeper and more complex narratives for the future. The announcement of Season 3, even before the second season finale, solidifies Landman's place as a cornerstone of the Paramount+ streaming library.
