Season 2 of Landman is expected to feature a new lead, with Jon Hamm's involvement still uncertain. Paramount+ announced the show's renewal for a second season on March 22, 2025, with filming anticipated to commence in early 2025 in Midland and Fort Worth, Texas. While specific plot details have yet to be disclosed, Season 2 is likely to continue from the dramatic events of the Season 1 finale.
In the Season 1 finale, Tommy Norris, played by Billy Bob Thornton, ascended to the role of CEO at M-Tex Oil following the death of Monty Miller, portrayed by Jon Hamm. This transition places Tommy in a position where he must confront significant challenges, including dangerous drilling projects and complicated negotiations with the drug cartel leader Galino, played by Andy Garcia. Additionally, Tommy faces personal struggles as he attempts to rebuild his relationship with his ex-wife Angela, played by Ali Larter, while navigating changing family dynamics with his children Ainsley and Cooper, portrayed by Michelle Randolph and Jacob Lofland, respectively.
The forthcoming season is expected to delve deeper into these narratives, emphasizing Tommy's leadership at M-Tex Oil, his response to external threats, and the impact of his decisions on his familial relationships. The introduction of Galino hints at potential alliances or conflicts that could have major implications for M-Tex and its stakeholders.
