Landman season 2 is set for Sunday, November 16, 2025, with new episodes rolling out weekly on Sundays through January 18, 2026. The West Texas oil drama from Taylor Sheridan and co‑creator Christian Wallace again puts Billy Bob Thornton at the center as Tommy Norris, a fixer suddenly running an oil company. “I pretty much am playing myself if I were a landman,” Thornton said in a new sit‑down with Lee Cowan on CBS News Sunday Morning.

Release date, schedule, and where to watch
The season premieres on November 16, 2025 and continues every Sunday until the January 18, 2026 finale. Season 1 and season 2 stream exclusively on Paramount+.

Season 1 closed with M‑Tex Oil CEO Monty Miller (Jon Hamm) dying after a heart transplant attempt, while Tommy agreed to take over M‑Tex, putting him between cartel boss Galino (Andy Garcia) and Monty’s widow Cami Miller (Demi Moore). The official logline for season 2 warns of “mounting pressure from M‑Tex Oil, Cami Miller, and the shadow of his kin,” and adds that survival in West Texas “isn’t noble – it’s brutal.”
Thornton has also teased where the character’s head is. In January, he told The Wrap that Tommy is “driven to make it a success, but at the same time, scared s——- right now… [He] does not want to take any kind of an executive position,” adding that “if there were a season 2… he’s going to drag a lot of the landman into it.” He later described Tommy’s chess match with Galino: “We’re in a chess match, and I hope that’s explored,” as relayed by People.
Exclusive insights from Billy Bob Thornton
- On the part fitting like a glove: “I pretty much am playing myself if I were a landman.”
- On the show’s tone: “This is kind of like ‘Giant,’ with cursing!”
- Co‑star Ali Larter on working with Thornton: “You have to be ready to go. Fresh. Like, whatever happens is going to happen.”
- On perspective at 70: “Every day when I wake up, I just say I’m blessed.”
Those remarks come from Thornton’s November 9 CBS News conversation, which also touches on his Tex‑Arkansan roots, early time in machine shops and sawmills (“not exactly the safest places to work”), and his band The Boxmasters, which has recorded 19 albums and opened for The Who this past summer.

Why this return matters
Landman weaves Sheridan’s frontier ethos into modern energy politics. With Tommy now running M‑Tex, season 2 can explore the slippery line between boardroom strategy and roughneck reality — a space where Thornton’s flinty charisma thrives. As he puts it, bravery isn’t doing “some weird thing in the middle of a scene,” it’s stepping in when it counts. That edge, plus Moore’s Cami and Garcia’s Galino tightening the screws, sets up a bruising run.
Bottom line
Landman season 2 arrives November 16, 2025 on Paramount+. Billy Bob Thornton returns for “Landman” season 2 on Paramount+, and he sounds ready. “We’ve all seen each other get older… I’m in a successful band and I’m in a successful show… Every day… I’m blessed.” The new season looks like an easy Sunday add — and a tougher fight than ever for Tommy Norris.
