LandmanParamount
It’s one of the most successful shows in Paramount+ history, as the debut season of Taylor Sheridan’s Landman set records for the service. Now, we finally know when Landman season 2’s release date will be, and it’s a lot closer than you might imagine.
Paramount just revealed that release date for season 2 of Landman is November 16, 2025, just two months from now. That is almost exactly a year from the release date of season 1, November 17, 2024, indicating this is going to be a rare series that is able to get out episodes on the “old” yearly TV schedule. These are 10 episodes seasons, as well.
Landman stars A-lister Billy Bob Thornton as an oil company middleman in the West Texas desert, and the show became the #1 original series in Paramount Plus history, so a greenlight for season 2 was obvious. Here’s the synopsis for season 1, but we don’t yet know exactly where season 2 heading:
“In the heart of Texas, roughnecks and billionaires try to get rich quick in the oil industry; Tommy Norris, a struggling executive, tries to take his company to the top during the fuel boom.”
LandmanParamountLandman is hugely popular, but has drawn some amount of criticism for coming off like oil industry propaganda at times, extolling the virtues of oil while criticizing renewable energy. The show also has a fixation with Tommy’s daughter, her body and her sexual exploits, despite being clearly identified as 17 in the series (the actress, Michelle Randolph, is actually 27). It’s…slightly uncomfortable.
MORE FOR YOUThe show spans sex and crime and accidental and purposeful explosions at the rigs. Season 1 ends with (spoilers) Tommy needed to take on an executive role as the health of CEO Monty Miller, played by Jon Hamm, declines. His wife, played by Demi Moore, will likely he a much larger role in season 2 as another big name being fully added to the cast.
There is literally no doubt that Landman season 2 is going to be a huge hit for Paramount, yet another Taylor Sheridan feather in its cap after his sprawling Yellowstone universe expands, and other series like Tulsa King and Mayor of Kingstown continue to truck along as well. He’s a real goldmine for Paramount, and I imagine they want to keep him around as long as humanly possible.
