Landman Season 2:The wait is finally over! Paramount+ has officially released the first trailer for Season 2 of Landman — and it looks like Taylor Sheridan is ready to step into the world of oil once again. Following the tremendous success of the first season, which depicted the Texas oil boom and the ethical storms that ensued, the new season promises even more drama, even more ambition, and even more explosive power struggles in the world of “black gold.”
Released earlier this week, the trailer gives fans their first glimpse into the future of Tommy Norris (played by Billy Bob Thornton) and the ruthless oil barons who rule the Permian Basin. And if this glimpse is anything to go by, Season 2 is set to be even more exciting than ever.
A World Driven by oil and Greed
The trailer opens with sweeping drone shots of Texas oil fields, with the roar of drilling machines in the background. Thornton’s powerful voiceover says:
“Here, oil isn’t just money—it’s power. And power always comes with a price.”
The one-minute teaser cuts rapidly between scenes of boardroom confrontations, fiery explosions on oil rigs, and tense standoffs in dusty West Texas towns. A storm is brewing—both real and political—and it seems each character must decide how much they’re willing to lose for the promise of riches.
Billy Bob Thornton returns – tougher than ever
Thornton reprises his role as Tommy Norris, a complex, seasoned oil tycoon who navigates the dangerous world of big business and labor. The trailer shows him caught between corporate greed and the workers who make his empire possible.
In a powerful moment, he warns his young rival:
“You think oil makes you rich? It just makes you a target.”
This line alone captures the soul of Landman – a story not just about money, but about survival in a system built on fragile trust and unstoppable ambition.
New Faces, New Challenges
Season 2 introduces several new characters who promise to stir up a new world. These include a mysterious environmental activist (rumored to be played by Zoe Kravitz) who challenges the oil industry from within, and a shrewd Wall Street investor (played by Walton Goggins) who seeks to profit from the chaos.
The trailer showcases heated debates between these new characters and returning favorites, including Ali Larter and Michelle Randolph, whose stories appear to take darker turns. Sheridan’s distinctive storytelling style—combining moral complexity with high-stakes realism—is back in full force.
Taylor Sheridan Expands His World
After helming major hits like Yellowstone, 1883, 1923, and Tulsa King, Taylor Sheridan is determined to show that the landman can hold his own in his ever-expanding “American frontier” universe.
Inspired by the Boomtown podcast, the series has been praised for its groundbreaking portrayal of the modern oil industry—a world rarely depicted with such authenticity on television. Season 2 continues this mission, delving into the environmental, political, and personal costs of the American dream.
As one character says in the trailer,
“Oil isn’t killing us—it’s what we do to get it.”
Release Date and Streaming Details
Paramount+ has confirmed that Landman Season 2 will premiere exclusively on the streaming platform on February 21, 2026. Following Sheridan’s typical release pattern, new episodes will be released weekly, keeping viewers coming back.
The series will also be available to subscribers in 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Atmos sound – allowing viewers to feel every rumble of the oil rigs and every bullet fired in the Texas sun.
Initial Reactions and Hype
Just hours after the trailer was released, social media erupted with excitement. Fans praised the show’s stunning cinematography and Thornton’s impressive presence. Some even speculated that Landman might establish crossover references to Sheridan’s other universes—especially Yellowstone.
One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
“If Yellowstone is about the land, Landman is about what lies beneath it—and both will leave you stunned.”
Final Thoughts
With its raw realism, unforgettable performances, and Taylor Sheridan’s unmatched touch, Landman Season 2 is poised to delve even deeper into the conflicts that define modern America—the price of wealth, power, and ambition.
So mark your calendars: February 21, 2026, is the day the oil starts flowing again on Paramount+.
