Production is officially underway on Season 2 of Landman, Taylor Sheridan’s modern-day oil drama for Paramount+ that made waves with its breakout first season last fall. Filming has resumed in Texas, where the story of wildcat billionaires and roughneck rig workers will continue to unfold across the state’s real-life boomtowns.

Billy Bob Thornton returns as oil exec Tommy Norris, and this season he’s joined by Demi Moore in a newly elevated role. After drawing attention in Season 1 as the wife of an oil baron played by Jon Hamm, Moore’s character Cami will have a far more prominent arc this time around. “There is a lot more story left to tell with Cami,” co-creator Christian Wallace told Variety. “Taylor has big plans, that’s all I’m going to say.”

The cast also includes Oscar nominee Andy Garcia, Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace, Mark Collie, James Jordan and Colm Feore.

The series is coming off a banner run. Landman delivered the most-watched global premiere and finale in Paramount+ history and ranked among the top 10 streaming originals of Q4 2024, alongside other Sheridan titles like Tulsa King and Lioness. Thornton’s performance earned him a Golden Globe nomination, helping cement the show as both a critical and commercial success.

Filming in Texas continues to be a deliberate choice—and not just for creative reasons. Last week, the Texas Legislature held a session focused on expanding the state’s film and TV incentive program, where high-profile supporters like Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson testified in support. The goal: keep major productions like Landman shooting in-state and build long-term economic momentum around the industry.

Landman is a textbook Sheridan production—dusty, daring, and commercially bulletproof. As studios tighten belts and audience attention grows ever more fragmented, Paramount’s strategy of doubling down on brand-driven creators with bankable universes continues to pay off. With on-location shoots, high-profile stars, and authentic Texas grit, Landman doesn’t just tell the story of oil—it fuels the future of prestige TV production.
