What to Expect in Season 2 Episode 1: “Death and a Sunset”
The season premiere focuses on Tommy navigating a tense landscape as Cami asserts control over M-Tex Oil following her husband Monty’s death. In Landman Season 2, Tommy faces new pressures at home, and at M-Tex Oil, where Cami pushes him to the brink.
With Jon Hamm’s departure confirmed after Monty died during open heart surgery in season 1, Demi Moore’s Cami Miller takes center stage. Press releases promoting Season 2 have moved Moore up in the cast list just behind Thornton, signaling her expanded role as the grieving widow who proves she’s tougher than anyone expected.
The season 2 trailer teases Cami telling a room full of bankers: “The only difference between me and my husband is that I’m meaner.” If that doesn’t set the tone for what’s coming, nothing will.

Returning Cast: Who’s Back for Season 2?
Oscar winner Billy Bob Thornton is back as M-Tex Oil Company’s indispensable “fixer” Tommy Norris, leading a stellar ensemble cast that includes:
- Demi Moore as Cami Miller (expanded role)
- Ali Larter as Angela Norris (Tommy’s ex-wife)
- Michelle Randolph as Ainsley Norris (Tommy’s daughter)
- Jacob Lofland as Cooper Norris (Tommy’s son)
- Paulina Chávez as Ariana Medina
- Kayla Wallace as Rebecca Savage
- James Jordan as Dale Bradley
Colm Feore, a Season 1 guest star as Nathan, the straight-laced M-Tex attorney, will now be a series regular. But the biggest casting news? Sam Elliott, the Oscar nominee and Screen Actors Guild Award winner, has joined the cast as a Season 2 series regular, playing Tommy’s father, T.L.
Elliott’s presence adds gravitas to an already impressive ensemble, and his history with Sheridan’s work (he starred in 1883) promises compelling family dynamics ahead.

Why Landman Became Paramount+’s Biggest Hit
More than 35 million people tuned into Landman’s premiere episode in 2024, a staggering figure that made history as the most-watched global premiere in Paramount+ history. The combination of Billy Bob Thornton’s magnetic performance, Taylor Sheridan’s authentic storytelling about West Texas oil culture, and explosive drama created an instant phenomenon.
At the 2025 Golden Globes, Thornton earned a nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Drama, cementing the show’s critical acclaim alongside its commercial success.
The series resonates because it captures the high-stakes world of modern oil barons with the same authenticity Sheridan brought to ranching in Yellowstone. Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, the show examines both the roughnecks on the ground and the wildcat billionaires calling the shots—an upstairs/downstairs dynamic that keeps viewers hooked.
Season 1 Recap: What Happened Before Season 2?
If you need a refresher before diving into season 2, all 10 episodes of Landman season 1 are currently streaming on Paramount+. The season concluded with Monty Miller’s shocking death from a heart attack during surgery, leaving a massive power vacuum at M-Tex Oil.
Tommy Norris found himself caught between corporate demands, cartel threats, and family drama throughout season 1. His ex-wife Angela continued complicating his life, daughter Ainsley navigated young adulthood with questionable decisions, and son Cooper worked the oil fields while falling for Ariana, the young widow of a worker killed on the job.
The season finale positioned Tommy as the potential successor to run M-Tex, but Cami’s emergence as a formidable businesswoman determined to honor her late husband’s legacy sets up season 2’s central conflict.
What Critics Are Saying About Season 2
While full reviews won’t drop until after the premiere, early buzz from critics who’ve screened advance episodes suggests season 2 delivers even more intensity than the first. The expanded role for Demi Moore has been particularly praised, with Jon Hamm telling USA Today: “Cami’s got so much room to grow and show who she really is. It’s going to be fascinating to watch.”
The addition of Sam Elliott as Tommy’s father promises to explore new dimensions of the protagonist’s character. Elliott’s gravelly voice declaring “You take a long, hard look at me” in the trailer has already become iconic among fans.
Taylor Sheridan’s track record speaks for itself—every show he’s created or co-created for Paramount+ has found massive audiences. Landman continues that tradition while carving out its own identity in the crowded prestige TV landscape.
How to Make the Most of Your Landman Viewing Experience
With episode 1 dropping early Sunday morning in most time zones, here are some tips for optimal viewing:
For Early Birds (US East Coast): The 3 AM ET release means you can watch before the rest of your Sunday gets busy. Brew some coffee and enjoy uninterrupted viewing.
For West Coast Night Owls: The midnight PT release is perfect if you’re up late Saturday night. Make it an event with friends who are equally obsessed.
For International Viewers: The afternoon/evening releases in Asia-Pacific regions make for perfect Sunday entertainment after a busy week.
Binge-Watching Strategy: While new episodes release weekly, having all of season 1 available means you can refresh your memory on key plot points before each new episode.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to watch Landman season 1 before starting season 2?
A: Absolutely! Landman season 2 picks up immediately after the devastating events of the season 1 finale, where Jon Hamm’s character Monty Miller died from a heart attack during surgery. The entire premise of season 2 revolves around the power vacuum created by Monty’s death and how Cami Miller (Demi Moore) and Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) navigate M-Tex Oil’s uncertain future. Without understanding Tommy’s complex relationships with his ex-wife Angela, his children Ainsley and Cooper, and his position within the company, you’ll miss crucial context for character motivations. All 10 episodes of season 1 are currently streaming on Paramount+, and the series was designed to be watched sequentially. The show features ongoing storylines involving cartel threats, family drama, and corporate intrigue that build episode by episode. For the best viewing experience, start from the beginning to fully appreciate the tension and stakes in season 2.
Q: Will there be any breaks in the Landman season 2 weekly release schedule?
A: No major breaks! Landman season 2 follows a consistent weekly Sunday release schedule from November 16, 2025, through January 18, 2026, with new episodes dropping at 3 AM ET / 12 AM PT every Sunday. The only variation is a special double-episode release on January 4, 2026, when both episodes 8 and 9 will become available simultaneously—perfect timing for your post-New Year’s binge session. This means you’ll get weekly episodes through the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays without any mid-season hiatus. The 10-episode season mirrors season 1’s structure, which also released weekly from November 2024 to January 2025. This steady rollout allows fans to discuss each episode on social media between releases while avoiding the frustration of random pauses that plague other streaming shows. Set those Sunday reminders and prepare for consistent West Texas oil drama throughout the holiday season. For more TV show schedules and streaming guides, visit TechnoSports.
