Created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, Landman is inspired by the podcast Boomtown and dives deep into the high-stakes world of oil rigs in West Texas. The show explores the lives of roughnecks and billionaire oil tycoons, weaving a modern-day tale of ambition, fortune, and the far-reaching impacts of the industry on climate, economy, and geopolitics. Since its premiere on November 17, 2024, the series has been a standout for Paramount+, earning a 78% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and solidifying its place among the platform’s top originals, alongside shows like Tulsa King and Lioness.
Season 1 followed Tommy Norris (Thornton), a seasoned landman navigating the chaotic world of oil deals while dealing with personal turmoil, including the arrival of his rebellious teenage daughter Ainsley (Michelle Randolph) and his ex-wife Angela (Ali Larter). The season’s dramatic finale, which included the shocking death of Jon Hamm’s character, oil tycoon Monty Miller, left fans eager for more.
The renewal of Landman for a second season was confirmed by Paramount+ in March 2025, following its record-breaking debut. Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global’s CEO of Streaming and Studios, praised Sheridan’s ability to tap into cultural narratives, noting that the series has significantly boosted the platform’s viewership, making it the #2 SVOD in the U.S. for original hours watched in Q4 2024.
With production now underway, fans can expect Season 2 to delve deeper into the fallout of Monty Miller’s death and the evolving dynamics among the characters. The return of Demi Moore, alongside Thornton, promises to bring even more intensity to the narrative. As Landman continues to explore the gritty underbelly of the oil industry, its sophomore season is poised to deliver another round of compelling drama when it eventually hits Paramount+.
