UPDATE: The highly anticipated Season 2 of Landman premiered on November 16, 2024, on Paramount+, and it is already generating buzz among fans and critics alike. Co-created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, this neo-Western drama continues to captivate audiences with its gripping narrative and complex characters.
Each week, new episodes air at 3 a.m. ET, with this season featuring 10 episodes that delve deeper into the turbulent life of Tommy Norris, played by Billy Bob Thornton. As pressures mount in the independent oil industry of West Texas, Tommy finds himself nearing a breaking point, setting the stage for intense drama.
Critics are praising the show’s return, with many noting that it successfully maintains the gritty realism and high-stakes storytelling that made Season 1 a hit. While the exact viewership numbers for Season 2 are still pending, early reviews suggest that it matches the previous season’s strong performance, which boasted a 78% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes.
“Landman is proving its worth in Season 2 as one of Sheridan’s most promising shows yet,”
stated entertainment reporter Josh Rosenberg. Alex Maidy emphasized that the new season leans into what made the first season successful without compromising quality.
However, the future of the series remains uncertain as Sheridan’s recent deal with NBCUniversal raises questions about the continuation of his projects at Paramount. This contract, which doesn’t take effect until 2029, leaves a window for Sheridan to continue working on Landman. Despite this uncertainty, showrunner Christian Wallace reassured fans, stating,
“That contract is not ending anytime soon, and so we’re just going to keep doing exactly what we’ve been doing.”
Fans and cast members, including Mark Collie, express optimism about the show’s future, with Collie adding,
“I think it’s just going to keep on rocking.”
As discussions around a potential third season continue, viewers are encouraged to tune in weekly to see how Tommy’s journey unfolds.
As Landman continues to thrive, it marks another chapter in Sheridan’s impressive television portfolio, which has expanded significantly since his debut. With the stakes higher than ever, fans are on the edge of their seats, eager to discover what happens next in this captivating saga.
