Landman Season 2 : Paramount+ has released the official extended trailer for Landman Season 2 (2025), and it’s powerful. This drama starring Billy Bob Thornton is back with even higher stakes, darker secrets, and a raw picture of America’s modern oil boom—where money flows fast, loyalties fade faster, and power comes at a heavy price.
The Story So Far
Season 1 introduced viewers to Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton), an aging oil company “landman” working in the rugged and volatile oil fields of West Texas. Caught between greedy corporations, ambitious leaders, and struggling workers, Tommy became a unique antihero in a world built on ambition and deceit.

Now, Season 2 picks up right where the chaos left off—oil prices are skyrocketing, tensions are rising, and every character is desperate to get their share.
Extended Trailer — Power, Greed, and Survival
The new trailer begins with a panoramic shot of the Texas skyline—countless fields dotted with oil-pumping rigs against a beautiful red sun. Thornton’s voice-over begins:
“You can drill into the earth all you want. The real danger comes from drilling into human souls.”
Immediately, we realize Landman is about to get even worse.
In the next scene, Tommy stands up to corporate executives, government agents, and oil tycoons—everyone trying to use him, everyone underestimating him. Meanwhile, environmental protests intensify, small towns crumble under the weight of corruption, and the gap between rich and poor widens.
Trailer Highlights
Tommy Returns to the Field Thornton’s character looks stronger than ever—scarred, unshaven, and unwilling to play by anyone’s rules. He’s seen walking through a burning oil field, suggesting his personal mission this season could be deadly.
A New Corporate Battle
The trailer depicts a brutal power struggle between two major oil conglomerates. “This isn’t business—this is war,” says a new rival executive, played by Matthew McConaughey, in a surprise guest role that has fans excited.
Family in Trouble
Tommy’s family grapples with the consequences of his past decisions. His estranged daughter (Ellie Larter) reappears in his life, bringing up both guilt and redemption. A tense dinner scene reveals the emotional cost of Tommy’s decisions, transforming the story into a human drama amidst corporate turmoil.
Environmental Reckoning
Season 2 places even more emphasis on the environmental crisis. Protesters clash with oil workers, and news headlines flash across the screen—“Anger over toxic leak.” A powerful shot depicts oil seeping into a dry riverbed, highlighting the deep-rooted corruption within the industry.
New Faces, Old Ghosts

Tone: Raw, Gritty, and Unforgiving
Like the first season, Landman Season 2 has its authentic Southern vibe—dusty roads, bright sunshine, and rough-edged storytelling. The cinematography feels cinematic, with wide shots of oil rigs against a thundering sky. The burden of greed, guilt and survival is evident in every frame.
The music in the trailer—a powerful mix of steel guitar and industrial beats—captures that tension perfectly. It sounds like the heartbeat of the American oil industry: powerful, mechanical, and dangerously unstable.
Themes—Greed, Redemption, and Power
Season 2 delves deeper into the moral costs of an energy empire. Can a man like Tommy Norris, who profited from devastation, find redemption? The trailer reveals this with a glimpse of his terrified eyes and his confession:
“I thought I was saving this city. Turns out, I was just selling it.”
It’s no longer just about oil—it’s about identity, guilt, and the human soul.
Behind the Scenes
Taylor Sheridan, the mastermind behind Yellowstone and mayor of Kingstown in 1883, created it. Landman features Sheridan’s storytelling style—realism, complex characters, and tough moral decisions.
Shot in Texas, this production captures the authentic atmosphere of the oil region. Real oil rigs, real workers, and real scenery make every shot feel authentic and real. In Landman Season 2, Sheridan has once again surrounded his cast with real locals to maintain a down-to-earth, authentic feel.
What Fans Can Expect
- If Season 1 was about survival, Season 2 is about reckoning. Expect:
- Massive explosions and oil-field devastation
- Political intrigue and behind-the-scenes dealings
- Raw emotional conflicts
- Unintentional betrayal
And Tommy Norris’s greatest moral choice—loyalty or justice.
In the final moments of the trailer, Tommy stands at the edge of a drilling platform with a raging storm behind him. He softly says, “Every empire drowns in its own oil.” Then, lightning strikes—a symbolic end to the teaser and a sign of the turmoil to come.
