Paramount\u00a0has shared a short video tease for Landman<\/a><\/em> Season 2 that includes the official return date.<\/p>\n Quite a bit has changed in the months since Season 1 wrapped. New cast, key plot points and the lawsuit that some felt was holding up production … it’s all included here.<\/p>\n Look for Season 2 of Landman<\/em> to start on Nov. 16 on Paramount+. That’s almost exactly one year after the debut of the series in 2024. This news clarifies earlier reports<\/a> that the show would begin in November.<\/p>\n The show will once again release new episodes on Sundays. If Season 2 is also 10 episodes, the Landman\u00a0<\/em>finale would air on Jan. 18, 2026.<\/p>\n Related<\/strong><\/em>: Billy Bob Thornton Reveals a Surprising Fact About Landman Finale Torture Scene<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Here is the 15-second\u00a0teaser released earlier this week. It shows Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) under some amount of stress as disaster looms on the oil patch. As fans may recall, his job is hardly his greatest worry this year.<\/p>\n During the Landman<\/em> Season 1 finale<\/a>, Tommy gets kidnapped by drug cartel henchman Jimenez and he\u2019s tortured as a sort of payback for the unpleasant interactions that marked their relationship for nine episodes prior. Just as it seems Tommy will get killed, cartel leader Gallino (played by Andy Garcia) guns down Jimenez and his men and makes an uncomfortable peace with Tommy.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Tommy\u2019s boss Monty (John Hamm) is hospitalized with a serious heart problem, but doctors think he can survive a few days or weeks without needing a transplant. He lasts less than 24 hours, and after his death, Tommy is named permanent president of M-Tek.<\/p>\n One of his jobs as executor of Monty\u2019s last wishes is to sell the company. It’s a role that hangs over his head as the credits begin.<\/p>\n The serious drama on the oil patch is lightened by the presence of Tommy\u2019s wife Angela (Ali Larter) and daughter Ainsley (Michelle Randolph). These relationships solidify throughout the season, and by the finale they\u2019re existing as a strange sort of Texas family unit.<\/p>\n Angela\u2019s separation from her previous husband is clean, and Ainsley is now in a relationship with Ryder, a boy her age.<\/p>\n Tommy\u2019s son Cooper (Jacob Lofland) has quit his job at M-Tek and is now set to go out on his own. His plan is to group several dozen small parcels of land together to sell to a large investor, and it looks to be going well in practice and on paper.<\/p>\n Both he and his new love interest Ariana (actor Paulina Chavez<\/a>) are on wobbly legs, however.<\/p>\n She\u2019s still grieving the explosion death of her husband \u2014 a moment Cooper was there to witness. It\u2019s a relationship that\u2019s been at the center of all the drama in the show, including in-fighting between M-Tek employees and lawsuits filed against the oil company.<\/p>\n It’s an understatement to\u00a0say Landman<\/em> upgraded its cast for Season 2. For starters, Garcia will return.<\/p>\n Sam Elliott is also going to join the series<\/a> as a regular. His character’s place and purpose has not yet been revealed. He worked with Taylor Sheridan previously in 1883<\/em>, the first Yellowstone<\/em> prequel.<\/p>\n Here are more new actors added to Season 2:<\/p>\n Stefania Spampinato<\/strong>: She\u2019s best known as. Dr. Carina DeLuca-Bishop on\u00a0Grey’s Anatomy.<\/em> On Landman<\/em>, she\u2019ll play the wife of Garcia\u2019s Gallino.<\/p>\n Guy Burnet<\/strong>: You may recognize Burnet from Fubar<\/em> or Oppenheimer<\/em>. On Landman<\/em> he\u2019ll play Charlie Newsom, an oil engineer.<\/p>\n Miriam Silverman<\/strong>: Silverman is a Tony Award-winning theater actor who also stars in an Apple+ show called Your Friends & Neighbors<\/em>. She\u2019s going to play Greta Stidham, an intimidating university admissions counselor. On Landman<\/em>, Ainsley is close to college, so this character is likely to impact her life.<\/p>\n The first episode of Landman<\/em> reached 14.6 million viewers, according to Paramount+. The<\/em> Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a> shares that the first season totaled 35 million streaming viewers, making it the most-watched original series on the platform.<\/p>\n In June, the estate of late radio newsman Paul Harvey sued Paramount <\/a>over the use of a 2008 radio segment called \u201cGas Crisis\u201d at the beginning of the Ep. 10 episode. They claimed the show used the clip without permission and edited Harvey to make it sound like he was more supportive of the oil business.<\/p>\n The moment added color to the episode, but was not a central tenant of the plot. A few people online worried this might affect the show\u2019s second season premiere, but there\u2019s been no evidence that this is the case.<\/p>\n During a Q2 2025 earnings call, Paramount did suggest Landman<\/em> would be pushed to December, but news of the Nov. 16 premiere walks that back.<\/p>\n Jacob Lofland plays Cooper Norris on Landman<\/em>, now streaming on Paramount+.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Billy Dukes<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Ali Larter says she wanted the role of Angela Norris on Landman<\/em> because the character is so colorful.
