Paramount+ has confirmed that filming for the second season of Taylor Sheridan’s oil drama Landman is now underway in Texas. The series, which features Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, and Andy Garcia, enjoyed a successful first run on the streaming platform.
Here’s the Lowdown: Production has officially started on season two. Returning alongside Thornton, Moore, and Garcia are Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace, Mark Collie, James Jordan, and Colm Feore. The series, co-created by Sheridan and Christian Wallace, is based on the podcast “Boomtown” and examines the high-stakes world of West Texas oil rigs.
What This Means Now: Following a strong debut season, the quick start to season two production signals Paramount+’s confidence in the show. Season one performed well, ranking as a top 10 original series across streaming services in the last quarter and achieving significant viewership numbers (35 million global viewers for the premiere episode). Billy Bob Thornton also received a Golden Globe nomination for his role.
The Bigger Picture: Landman adds to Taylor Sheridan’s extensive roster of shows on Paramount+, including hits like Yellowstone, 1923, 1883, Mayor of Kingstown, and Tulsa King. The series explores the human and environmental costs of the oil boom, telling a story of wealth, ambition, and conflict in modern Texas. Its renewal and continued production reinforce Sheridan’s importance to the Paramount+ platform.
