Fueled by great drama? Fans of Landman sure are. The show's debut episode was streamed by more than 35 million people, making it the most-watched global premiere in Paramount+ history. Numbers like that tend to mean one thing, and you guessed it: Paramount+ has renewed the hit original series for a new season.
We’ve (oil) rigged up a guide to Landman Season 2. So, stop running on fumes, and read on for everything there is to know right now.
But first: SPOILER ALERT. Key plot points from the series, especially from Season 1, will be discussed. So, proceed with caution (or, just go ahead, and binge-watch the first 10 episodes right now).
Get Started
Oscar® nominee Taylor Sheridan (1883, 1923, Lioness, Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King, Lawmen: Bass Reeves) and Christian Wallace (Boomtown) co-created Landman.
Here's a complete look at the Landman stars returning for Season 2:
The Landman Season 2 cast also boasts new faces – make that, new, familiar faces. Here's a rundown of regular-series additions:
In Landman Season 1, Episode 10, “The Crumbs of Hope,” M-Tex CEO Monty Miller (Jon Hamm) is incapacitated – and in need of an organ transplant. Having known he had chronic heart disease, he’d already named Tommy the new VP of M-Tex operations. With Monty gravely ill, Tommy steps into the roles of M-Tex president, and executor of the Miller family estate and trust. His first order of business? To carry out Monty’s wishes (and those of Monty’s wife, Cami), and arrange a “farm-out” lease agreement – a deal in which M‑Tex receives drilling rights on non-company land in exchange for covering development costs. M-Tex would theoretically earn a share of profits – but whether that share is $1 billion or $1 is unknown. Cami urges Tommy to roll the dice.
While out on the road, heavies from a Mexican drug cartel force Tommy from his truck, and drag him to a darkened location, where he's tortured. In Episode 5, “Where Is Home,” the cartel's leader, Jimenez (Alex Meraz), demanded compensation after a drug-smuggling operation went south on an M-Tex-built road. Back then, Tommy refused to pay, and threatened to get the DEA involved.
Elsewhere, Tommy’s son, Cooper, makes strides to invest in shale. Believing he has figured out how to bypass the problems that make the rich oil deposit so financially high-risk, Cooper meets with landowners to acquire a grid of land he’ll use to become his own oil executive. His ultimate goal? To build a life to offer to Ariana, the widow of Elvio (Alejandro Akara). Elvio was Cooper's fellow landman at M-Tex; he dies in an oil-rig explosion at the end of Landman's first episode (titled "Landman").
Things continue to look bleak for the kidnapped Tommy. The moment it appears as though Jimenez will kill him, gun shots ring out, and Jimenez and his crewmates collapse to the ground. Gallino, the real head of the cartel, emerges. Having saved Tommy’s life, Gallino declares that the cartel and M-Tex ought to be friends, as it serves both parties’ interests to coexist. Tommy returns home to Angela, his ex-wife who’s recently moved back in with him. He tells Angela that his bloody face is the result of a car wreck. She sees through the lie. The two express their love for one another.
As this is going on, Monty’s family sits in his hospital room, weeping over the tycoon. Where do the families – Tommy's, Monty's, those of the M-Tex employees – go from here? That's what Season 2 is for …
As we noted, all Season 1 episodes are streaming now on Paramount+.
