Season 2 of Landman just premiered on Paramount+ to record numbers, so it’s not surprising that it was recently picked up for a third season! Viewership of the second season premiere almost tripled from the Season 1 premiere, with over 9 million streams. Adapted from a popular podcast, Landman stars Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris, a crisis manager for an oil company. Thornton recently received a Critics’ Choice nomination for Best Actor in a Drama Series for his role.

What is Landman about?

Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, Landman is a modern-day tale of fortune seeking in the world of oil rigs. Based on the notable 11-part podcast “Boomtown,” the series is an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.

Who created Landman?

Landman is co-created by Oscar-nominated multi-hyphenate Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace.

When did Landman premiere?

Season 1 premiered on Sunday, Nov. 17, 2024 on Paramount+. Season 2 of Landman premiered a year later on Sunday, Nov. 16, 2025 on Paramount+. Episodes dropped weekly on Sundays.

Who’s in the Landman cast?

As is the case with just about every Taylor Sheridan series, the Landman cast is a star-studded affair. including several Oscar nominees/winners. Here’s who’s currently in the cast of Landman and who we assume will return for Season 3.

Billy Bob Thornton (Tommy Norris)

Critically acclaimed actor and breakout star of the 1996 movie Sling Blade, Billy Bob Thornton leads the series as a crisis manager for an oil company. Thornton won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for Sling Blade.

Thornton had a cameo appearance in the Yellowstone prequel series, 1883. It was there that he had conversations with Sheridan. Those conversations led to Landman, which Sheridan wrote with Thornton in mind. Thornton spoke to Parade about it exclusively, “It’s very rare that somebody writes something specifically for you and your voice. I was very happy about that and it kind of fit like a glove.”

And if he could switch places with any other character on the show? Thornton easily replied, “Dale, who’s played by James Jordan. He has a very funny character and I always enjoyed watching James play that role. And early in my career, if this had been 30 years ago, that’s probably who I would have been playing!”

Michelle Randolph plays the wild and strong-willed 17-year-old daughter of Tommy Norris. If she looks familiar, you’ve probably watched 1923, another Taylor Sheridan-produced show. There, she played Elizabeth Strafford, the fiancée of Jack Dutton (Darren Mann), who is the grand-nephew of Jacob (Harrison Ford) and Cara (Helen Mirren) Dutton.

Jacob Lofland (Cooper Norris)

Jacob Lofland takes on the role of Cooper, Tommy’s son, who is new to the demanding work in the oil and gas fields of West Texas. By the end of Season 1, it looked like Cooper was planning on blazing his own path in the oil industry. In the Season 2 premiere, Cooper hit it big, but at what cost?

Kayla Wallace (Rebecca)

Kayla Wallace was a series regular on When Calls the Heart, Hallmark Channel’s longest-running series. She has also appeared on The Good Doctor, The Magicians and Zooey’s Extraordinary Playlist.

In Landman, Wallace portrays Rebecca, an extremely capable and intimidating liability attorney sent to West Texas to clean up a mess. When asked to describe her character, Wallace called her “a shark.” She added, “There’s an aggressiveness to her that was so fun to create and a confidence that she needed to have in order to power through her cases.”

James Jordan (Dale Bradley)

James Jordan was cast in the role of Dale Bradley, a petroleum engineer and a blue-collar bear of a man who manages and works with roughnecks in the oil fields. He’s also Tommy Norris’ roommate.

Jordan is a mainstay in Sheridan’s productions, having appeared in Yellowstone, 1883, Special Ops: Lioness and Mayor of Kingstown.
