Landman Season 2 is coming (and we’ve got opinions on what’s gonna happen)

Landman Season 2

Landman Season 2 rides back into view on November 16, 2025, exclusively on Paramount+. Oil, football, cartel drama, Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Hamm, Demi Moore (we hope?!), and crew.

And yes, we have opinions. An oil baron’s worth, you might say.

Here’s the Landman Season 2 trailer to whet your appetites.

Now, let’s git it.

Will Gallino reign supreme or just scheme?

Andy Garcia joins the cast as Gallino. He’s not just the cartel boss who saved Tommy – he’s the puppeteer now. Gallino has the gravitas to make power moves while multitasking moral ambiguity like a Texas two-step. Will he tighten the reins or flip loyalties as the oil temp rises?

Which notorious sports icon will show up in Season 2? (Spoiler: we’re betting on Aaron Rodgers)

Jerry Jones crushed in his surprise cameo late in Season 1, sitting bedside with Jon Hamm (more on Hamm-y below). But let’s dream bigger and vote for Aaron Rodgers this time around. Mismatches? Yes. A Western oil patch overlord? Maybe. But imagine his football fame crashing into this universe. It’d be postmodern Landman. Bring the mustache, the playbook, the blowhard ego, and ayahuasca-tinged megalomania.

Jon Hamm. Or: we need more Jon Hamm.

Seriously. Give us the Hamm, Landman producers!

Turns out Monty Miller didn’t leave us—he’s right there in the Season 2 trailer. So no ghost monologues or fever-dream hallucinations… yet. Instead, expect Jon Hamm to stroll back into the oil wars with that dry, lethal delivery. Monty’s back in the saddle, and probably with a few scores to settle this time.

Friday Night Lights connected universe possibilities?

We see a nice amount of football action in the S2 trailer (of the vaguely branded kind that didn’t go through the NFL or NCAA legal teams), and not a ton of explosions or cartel shoot-outs.

Could Landman be inching toward that Friday Night Lights energy? Call it West Texas football as natural resources exploitation allegory, perhaps. Maybe a high-stakes game between competing oil barons, or a new adolescent arc involving Cooper or Ainsley somehow. Texas football as allegory for collapse, rise, or both. What, we’re overreaching here?

Will we actually see Demi Moore do… Moore this season?

Demi Moore’s Cami needs more teeth. Or at least more screentime. You’ve got a screen legend here, Landman producers. We’re just praying Cami isn’t relegated to “beloved widow” at this point. We need layers, schemes, whiskey-laced monologues, and more Moore overall.

Explosion tracker: can Season 2 out ka-blooey Season 1?

Season 1 had its fair share of oil-rig fireworks. But with Cooper striking out solo, cartel money, and Sam Elliott now in the mix(!) – can Season 2 hit a new record for boom booms?

Casual drinking + driving: how slippery will it get?

Tommy Norris behind the wheel at 2 a.m., whiskey in hand, calling cartel bosses. How many near-misses before the inevitable crash – literal or corporate? We’re betting Season 2 ups the “Texas boozy escape routes” quotient to near-fatal comedy.

And speaking of Tommy Boy…

Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy Norris starts Season 2 as (at least acting) president of M-Tex. That’s a gold-plated title with a cartel IOU stapled to it. Can Tommy juggle corporate shareholders, Gallino’s favors, and his own itchy trigger finger this time around? We’re looking out for backroom gambits, dangerous road trips, and maybe one last line he swears he’ll never cross. Almost guaranteed: there’ll be a lung dart in his hand and/or mouth throughout.

No taking the old folks to the strip club story arc this season, please. (PLEASE.)

Let’s collectively pray that we’re not dedicating half the season to “this is what happened when the ladies took the old folks to the strip club and life lessons were learned.” That subplot was a fever dream we can all agree should stay in the rearview.
