The oil business isn’t cooling down anytime soon—at least not in Landman. Paramount+ has dropped the official trailer for Season 2, and if the footage is any indication, the stakes are even higher, the risks more dangerous, and the rivalries sharper than ever.
The explosive preview teases a chaotic turn for Cooper and his crew as disaster strikes on the derrick, setting the tone for a season that looks anything but forgiving. But the action isn’t just on the rigs—the drama runs deep in the boardroom too.
Sam Elliott Joins the Fight
One of the most striking moments in the trailer comes from Sam Elliott, who makes his debut this season as Tommy’s father.
In a moment that’s both grim and revealing, he looks his son dead in the eye and says, “You take a long, hard look at me. I’ve wasted 60 years on hope.” It’s a chilling line, and one that hints at just how heavy the generational weight of this business can be.
Cami Steps Into Power
Fans got their first glimpse of Season 2 back in September, when an earlier teaser revealed that Cami—played by Demi Moore—is stepping into leadership of MTex following Monty’s death.
Her warning to powerful investors was as sharp as it was unforgettable: “The only difference between me and my husband is: I’m meaner.”
That single line sets the stage for what promises to be a ruthless game of survival and ambition in Texas’ booming oilfields.
Where Season 1 Left Off
For those catching up, the Season 1 finale ended with Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) suddenly thrust into the top position at his company after the shocking death of CEO Monty Miller (Jon Hamm).
On top of his new leadership role, Monty’s widow, Cami, handed Tommy a high-risk, high-reward deal to close—a decision that will no doubt ripple into the events of this season.
The Bigger Picture
As the official series description puts it, Landman dives into the gritty world of Texas oil, “where roughnecks and wildcat billionaires are fueling a boom so big it’s reshaping our climate, our economy, and our geopolitics.” That tension between fortune and fallout is at the heart of what makes the series so gripping.
A Stacked Cast
Season 2 isn’t just upping the drama; it’s doubling down on star power. Alongside Thornton, Moore, and Elliott, the cast includes Andy Garcia, Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace, Mark Collie, James Jordan, and Colm Feore.
Another Hit for Sheridan
Landman is one of the eight Taylor Sheridan projects currently streaming on Paramount+, cementing the creator’s reputation for crafting high-stakes stories with unforgettable characters.
And if this trailer is any sign, Season 2 will take viewers deeper into the firestorm of ambition, danger, and betrayal that only the oil fields of Texas can deliver.
