Billy Bob Thornton had a hunch that his latest series, “Landman,” would strike a chord with viewers.

Like the blockbuster hit “Yellowstone,” the Western-flavored drama about a fixer for a Texas oil company fits comfortably in the Taylor Sheridan universe, anchored by the writer-producer’s distinctive flair for crusty, no-nonsense heroes and stories juiced by plenty of country music, sex and violence.
But even Thornton, who plays chain-smoking crisis manager Tommy Norris in the series, is overwhelmed by the impressive ratings of “Landman,” which aired its Season 1 finale on Sunday.
After premiering in November, the series attracted 14.9 million households in its first four weeks, becoming the most popular original project on the Paramount+ streaming service.
Has Landman been renewed for season 2?
Officially, there’s been no renewal, but it seems like there’s a good chance for one. Sheridan had a huge hit with Yellowstone and it seems like Paramount believes in his work.
In an interview in May 2024, Moore seemed to confirm there’d be another season while promoting The Substance, saying at the Cannes Film Festival, “I’ve already completed the first season and I’m excited for us to start the second, which will be at the beginning of next year.”
Landman Season 2 Release Date
There isn’t a clear release date for Landman Season 2 right now, but it could follow a similar pattern to season 1, which was filmed in February 2024—so Landman’s second season would premiere at the end of 2025.
