The first season of Landman was one of the best series from Taylor Sheridan since the first season of Yellowstone. Coming almost exactly a year after, the second season of the Billy Bob Thornton-led drama is back to continue the West Texas drama. Better than Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, and Lioness, Landman is the first non-Yellowstone series from Sheridan to feature the creator penning all of the episodes. With the new addition of Sam Elliott and expanded roles for Demi Moore and Andy Garcia, Landman is better than ever.
Season two finds Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) continuing to deal with the fallout of Monty Miller’s death and the elevation of his widow Cami (Demi Moore) to run M-Tex Oil. At the same time, Tommy must deal with his family drama involving his ex-wife, Angela (Ali Larter), and the drug lord, Gallino (Andy Garcia), while also introducing his father, played by Sam Elliott. The same business drama runs rampant this season, while also deepening the professional and romantic relationships introduced in the first season. In short, this is the same series you loved in Season One, but with even more to enjoy.
