If you’ve been pacing around your living room wondering when Billy Bob Thornton is coming back in cowboy boots and corporate oil drama, we’ve got some good news. Season 2 of Landman is officially happening, and there’s a lot bubbling beneath the surface.
Let’s break it down like a wildcatting prospector sniffing out black gold.
The Big Announcement: Yes, Season 2 Is Coming!
First things first: Landman got renewed. Paramount+ dropped the news on March 12, 2025. And they didn’t whisper it either. The series smashed streaming records with its first season, becoming the most-watched global premiere and finale on the platform. That’s no small feat—14.9 million households tuned in. Yep, you read that right. Fourteen. Point. Nine. Million.
So, with that kind of buzz, Paramount+ couldn’t let this Texas-sized hit ride off into the sunset just yet.
Where Are We Now in the Production Pipeline?
Get your hard hats and oil rigs ready, because the crew is back on set.
Filming for Season 2 kicked off in March 2025, right in the heart of Texas. The production team didn’t just go back to any old place either. They’re shooting in:
- Fort Worth, Texas
- The Fort Worth Petroleum Club
- Rivercrest Country Club
- Texas Christian University
- And even the American Association of Professional Landmen HQ
The vibe? Still gritty. Still real. Still deeply Texan. So if you loved the authentic settings in Season 1, Season 2 won’t disappoint.
Casting Updates: Who’s Back and Who’s Not
Alright, let’s talk characters.
Billy Bob Thornton is strapping on the boots again as Tommy Norris. No surprise there—he’s the core of this oil-slicked universe. Ali Larter returns too, playing Angela Norris, Tommy’s ex with her own fire. Jacob Lofland is back as Cooper Norris, and Michelle Randolph returns as Ainsley.
But there’s one major shake-up. Jon Hamm won’t be back. His character, Monty Miller, met his maker in the Season 1 finale. Yep, he’s officially out. So, what does that mean for the corporate chaos at M-Tex Oil? We’ll have to wait and see.
What’s Season 2 Actually About?
Now here’s the part everyone wants to know—what kind of drama is coming our way?
While the showrunners haven’t spilled too many beans, we can connect a few dots. With Monty Miller gone, Tommy might climb the M-Tex ladder. But let’s be honest, in this game, climbing usually means someone else is falling.
Expect more boardroom battles, more field blowups, and more juicy family dynamics. There’s a strong chance we’ll see the Norris family pushed to new limits.
A Call for Extras: Want to Be On the Show?
This one’s for the fans near Fort Worth—casting calls are out!
Legacy Casting is looking for background extras, including:
- Students from Texas Christian University (especially those who can rock some TCU gear)
- Folks with real-life paramedic experience (yes, we smell an emergency scene coming)
These casting calls hint at some exciting plot setups, possibly involving the university and high-stakes medical drama.
So, if you’ve ever dreamed of being in the background of a tense oilfield negotiation—or sprinting through a hospital hallway—this might be your moment.
When Could Season 2 Drop?
Now for the million-dollar question: when do we actually get to watch it?
There’s no official release date yet, but let’s play detective for a second. Season 1 began filming in February 2024 and dropped in November 2024. That’s about nine months from start to screen.
Season 2 started filming in March 2025. So, if they follow the same schedule, we might see it land in late 2025 or early 2026. Not too far away in TV time.
Why Season 2 Already Feels Bigger
The scale’s definitely ramping up. From new filming locations to expanding roles, the show’s leaning into its success. And with one major villain down (RIP Monty), the power vacuum at M-Tex sets the stage for fresh rivalries.
Plus, let’s not overlook that Texas backdrop. Season 2 is doubling down on local flavor, not just in location but in casting. That real-world grit gives Landman its edge—and they’re not about to lose it.
Saddle Up, It’s Gonna Be a Wild Ride
So, while we don’t have a date circled on the calendar just yet, things are definitely moving. Cameras are rolling. Actors are back in town. And the oil’s still flowing in Fort Worth.
If you loved Season 1, get ready—Season 2 promises even more fire. Stay tuned, and maybe keep that cowboy hat handy.
