A Darker Yellowstone”: Demi Moore Gets Meaner in Landman’s Stormy Second Series

Taylor Sheridan is back at it again, and this time the storm isn’t rolling across Montana—it’s tearing through Texas. Landman, the oil-soaked drama often called “a darker Yellowstone,” is gearing up for its second series, and the stakes are higher than ever. With Demi Moore’s Cami Miller turning colder, Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy Norris rising in power, and Sam Elliott joining the cast as a mysterious newcomer, fans can expect a brutal, intoxicating ride into the cutthroat world of big oil.


What Is Landman About?

Set during the southern U.S. oil boom, Landman mixes boardroom politics, cartel threats, and dangerous rig work into one combustible package. The series follows oil tycoon Monty Miller (Jon Hamm in season 1) and his wife Cami (Demi Moore) as they tighten their grip on their empire, while Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton), a crisis manager with his own ambitions, slowly builds his influence.

At its heart, Landman is a clash between the powerful and the powerless—the billionaires chasing billions and the rig workers caught in the fallout. Critics have called it Succession with oil rigs and cartel shootouts, a brutal soap opera with grit under its nails.

Where Series 2 Picks Up

The first season ended with a shocking power shift (no spoilers here!), paving the way for Tommy Norris to rise even higher in the corporate world. Now, as season 2 begins, Cami Miller isn’t just standing by her husband’s side—she’s stepping into the spotlight herself, declaring at one point: “I’m meaner than my husband.”

Sam Elliott, beloved for his role in Sheridan’s 1883, makes his entrance as the enigmatic “T.L.”—a man shrouded in mystery but destined to shake up the already volatile oil patch. Meanwhile, the cartel’s shadow grows darker as Gallino (Andy Garcia) pushes deeper into Texas, and within the Norris family itself, betrayal brews when one of their own launches a rival oil firm.

Series 2 premieres Sunday, November 16, 2025, exclusively on Paramount+. All 10 episodes of the first series are already available to stream, making now the perfect time to catch up before the chaos begins.


Sheridan’s Expanding Universe

With Yellowstone still a cultural juggernaut and spin-offs like 1883 and 1923 redefining the Western saga, Sheridan’s Landman proves his storytelling thrives far beyond the Dutton ranch. Oil instead of cattle, cartel bosses instead of rival ranchers—yet the themes remain Sheridan’s trademarks: power, greed, betrayal, and survival.


Final Thoughts

If season 1 of Landman was explosive, season 2 is a full-on detonation. With Demi Moore sharpening her claws, Billy Bob Thornton seizing control, and Sam Elliott stirring the pot, this is set to be one of Sheridan’s most addictive dramas yet.

Oil runs black, money runs deep, and in Landman, nobody plays nice.
