Landman Season 2 Arrives: Cast Shakeups, Premiere Date, and All the West Texas Secrets Unleashed

Let’s crank up the pumpjacks and dust off those Sunday boots — Landman Season 2 is officially barreling our way! That’s right, Paramount+ finally circled November 16, 2025, on its digital calendar as the day Tommy Norris and crew storm back into our living rooms. Fans, you might want to block out ten weeks straight because things don’t look any less fiery in the West Texas oil fields. And before you sigh and think, “Sure, another season,” let’s just say brisk winds are blowing, and they’re full of secrets, family feuds, and enough bad decisions to fuel an entire refinery. Here’s every juicy detail unraveled as of November 2025.

Release date and schedule: circle your calendar!

First things first — when do you actually get to hit “play” on Season 2? Sunday, November 16, 2025, at the sharp hour of 3:00 a.m. Eastern. Fans east of Odessa, set the coffee. Those further west, you can sleep in and avoid spoilers. Don’t count on a holiday break, either. New episodes will drop every single Sunday through the season. Expect the pedal to the metal until at least January 18, 2026, if the rollout holds steady. Mark it in red, add an alarm, and then watch your group chat explode.

But that’s not all. New York City gets the goods first — PaleyFest NY slides in a sneak peek on November 9. Lucky locals even get a one-episode head start, followed by a panel with Billy Bob Thornton, Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, and co-creator Christian Wallace. That screening sold out almost instantly, but standby and closed-circuit options exist — so at least you’ve got a fighting chance if you hustle hard enough.

Refresh your memory: where Season 1 left us

Now, before we storm into Season 2, remember where we left Tommy and the gang. The first season dropped on November 17, 2024, kicked off with a two-episode debut, and carved out Sundays as appointment viewing until January 12, 2025. Drama? From the office politics to gunshots in the brush, Landman delivered.

Tommy Norris, that shotgun-wielding wild card, ended up running West Texas’s combustible oil behemoth, M-Tex. Monty Miller’s shocking fate in the finale left a vacuum, and surprise, Tommy filled it — whether he wanted the job or not. Cami Miller? Still carrying grudges — and leverage. If you thought things would simmer down, think again. Season 1’s viewership proved this isn’t just a niche show for armchair wildcatters — 5.2 million viewers tuned in day one, and by December, 14.9 million had gotten hooked worldwide. No wonder Paramount didn’t hesitate to greenlight Season 2 back in March.

The slow-drip promo campaign

And what’s a modern TV return without weeks of teasers, right? Paramount+ played their rollout like a fiddle:

• September 4: We got that first sliver of teaser footage and a handful of dusty, sunglasses-on first-look photos.
• October 1: The full, official trailer exploded onto socials, promising higher stakes and some serious boardroom backstabbing.
• October 23: Key art and a final trailer landed, all but daring us to find a moment’s peace before that Sunday morning debut.

Each peek pressed on a single nerve — Tommy may stand at the top now, but everyone around him is sniffing for an opening. The trailers hit one note hard — nothing in the executive suite stays buried.

The episode roadmap: your Sunday night ritual

So, how many weeks do you need to block off for this wild ride? The answer: a solid ten. Media outlets locked in the full slate and titles, so clear your couch on the following nights:

1. Nov 16 — “Death and a Sunset”

2. Nov 23 — “Sins of the Father”

3. Nov 30 — “Almost a Home”

4. Dec 7 — “Dancing Rainbows”

5. Dec 14 — “The Pirate Dinner”

6. Dec 21 — “Dark Night of the Soul”

7. Dec 28 — “Forever Is an Instant”

8. Jan 4 — “Handsome Touched Me”

9. Jan 11 — “Plans, Tears and Sirens”

10. Jan 18 — “Tragedy and Flies”

Stick it on the fridge, write it on the bathroom mirror, because Landman isn’t taking the holidays off.

The cast: old favorites, bold newcomers

Billy Bob Thornton returns as Tommy Norris, who finally sits at M-Tex’s intimidating head table, with all eyes — and sights — on him. Demi Moore’s Cami Miller is back, simmering with energy that could spark wildfires if aimed wrong. Andy Garcia reprises his role as Galino, and it’s clear he’s not leaving the field without a fight or a few more scars.

And yet, the show isn’t simply trotting out the old crew. Enter Sam Elliott, who takes up residence as T.L. “Pop” Norris, Tommy’s father and the family’s gravel-voiced patriarch. If you always wished Yellowstone and Landman would blur together for a minute — well, here’s the closest you get. Sam Elliott brings weight and wild history to every room, and by all early accounts, Pop’s arrival means that some family feuds might finally detonate.

But wait, there’s more. Stefania Spampinato steps in as Galino’s long-suffering wife, which seems destined to light a fuse somewhere behind cartel lines. Guy Burnet jumps in as Charlie Newsom, described as a “charming oil and gas engineer”—the type who probably wears a bigger smile than even his ambitions. Finally, Miriam Silverman enters as Greta Stidham, an admissions counselor who sounds mild — until you remember, every Norris move lands somewhere in a bureaucrat’s file.

Plot: so, what’s breaking bad in Season 2?

Paramount’s official blurb doesn’t hold back. Tommy’s basically wearing a bullseye after Monty’s exit. He leads M-Tex now, but does anyone truly have his back? Doubtful. Cami Miller wants justice and perhaps control. Galino looms, refusing to take “No” for an answer — cartel muscle doesn’t exactly believe in the word “maybe.”

Then, there’s Pop Norris. No one brings Sam Elliott in for a quiet cameo — his presence drags every Norris family skeleton into the harsh daylight. Landman promises to double down on not just business intrigue; it’s all about the personal stakes. Betrayals. Hidden motives. Old debts. According to trailers and press leaks, the focus lands hard on family rivalry, the business chess match, and the high-octane drama that comes when West Texas pride is on the line.

The numbers don’t lie: Why the renewal came fast

Some renewals get agonized over; this one arrived on turbo. Here’s why:

• 5.2 million viewers launched Season 1, cracking both streaming and cable numbers wide open.
• Four weeks in, 14.9 million global households pressed play. That’s serious market share.
• Landman snagged the “most-watched” badge for Paramount+ originals as of mid-2025.
• Q4 of 2024 saw the show labeled a “Top 10 SVOD hit” in all of streaming, not just the home network.

So, when the official renewal hit on March 12, 2025, it surprised exactly zero people.

Where you can watch (and how to catch up)

This one’s easy. Landman lives on Paramount+. If you missed Season 1, it’s all right there, so a binge session could save you at least some embarrassment at the water cooler. Prefer a bundle? Paramount+ connects via Amazon Prime Video Channels or Hulu’s “Paramount+ with Showtime” plan. New subs always float around that premiere week — including some trial deals — so keep your eyes peeled.

Episodes hit the service at 3:00 a.m. ET (midnight Pacific). That fits the night owls, early risers, and anyone who wants to avoid Monday-morning spoilers.

What the preview buzz fires up

Based on social chatter and expert rundowns, fans and reviewers seem revved up for a “darker, more personal” Landman this time. The rollout — complete with PaleyFest NY’s preview and a rapid-fire barrage of trailers — tells you Paramount+ expects to light up group chats, gossip columns, and online theorists from week one.

And speaking of theorists, let’s roll through the character power rankings, since everyone’s love/hate list probably shifted after last year’s finale.

Characters to watch, season two style

• Tommy Norris: No more hiding. He’s out front, CEO badge visible, and maybe even a little bit dangerous.
• Cami Miller: She’s got a grudge and knows where M-Tex’s bodies — and big investments — are buried.
• Galino: A cartel kingpin with nothing to lose. Don’t turn your back, or your oil rig.
• Pop Norris: Sam Elliott signals more than just family drama; he could tip the board upside down.

A quick recap: How we got here

Landman first hit on November 17, 2024, with a two-episode haymaker, slow-walked every Sunday to a finale on January 12. The buzz, stoked by that triple threat cast and Taylor Sheridan’s fingerprints, fueled constant weekly debates — who’s really running West Texas, and who wants revenge most? Fastforward to March and Paramount’s renewal confirmation, dropping almost as quickly as the first spoiler. In TV land, that counts as breakneck speed.

One more thing — get those boots ready

Here’s the deal: If your Sundays felt quiet, buckle up. Landman is ready to torch the peace. Family secrets chase new money. Rivalries sharpen. Sunrise — maybe even love or loss — waits in the distance. Judging by those trailers and cast Q&As, this season should run hotter, meaner, and — dare we dream?—even more addictive.

Dust off your boots, friend. Charge your remote. And maybe keep an extra drink on hand, in case someone you love — or love to hate — doesn’t make it out this time. See you bright and early, November 16. Let’s wrangle every minute together.
