Demi Moore and Billy Bob Thornton’s ‘Landman’ Gets Season 2 Update

by

As a dedicated fan who has binge-watched my fair share of Taylor Sheridan’s masterpieces, I can confidently say that Landman has easily found a spot among my favorites. The series has struck a chord with me because it delves into the gritty, complex world of oil and gas leasing, an industry I’ve had a close encounter or two with in my small-town Texas life.

The new series, Landman, produced by Taylor Sheridan, has been a hit since it debuted on Paramount+ in mid-November, gathering acclaim from viewers and critics. However, the fate of its upcoming second season is unclear, according to recent statements made by Jacob Lofland, who portrays Cooper Norris on the show.

Landman is a worthy successor to Sheridan’s flagship series, Yellowstone, as it delves into the high-stakes world of oil and gas leasing in West Texas. It follows the journey of both young oil rig workers and wildcat billionaires as they navigate the complexities of the industry, the changing economy, and their personal lives. The lead, Tommy Norris, is played by Billy Bob Thorton, and Lofland plays his son. Other notable actors include Ali Larter, Michelle Randolph, Demi Moore, Paulina Chavez, and Kayla Wallace. In an interview with Screen Rant’s Grant Hermanns, Lofland spoke candidly about the uncertainty surrounding Landman Season 2. He didn’t confirm it but expressed his hope for the show’s renewal. Read the full conversation below.

While I can’t make any official promises or commitments, I truly hope we can get back to working on it as soon as possible. It’s a project I genuinely enjoy and believe in, and I think this story has a lot of potential to resonate with people. So, here’s to hoping for its swift progress!

When queried about what he hopes for his character should the series continue, Lofland is simply eagerly anticipating confirmation from Taylor Sheridan. Moreover, he mentioned that he’s looking forward to it.

I find myself here, expressing my eagerness about what Taylor has prepared, wondering what lies ahead for the character Cooper. As an actor, I don’t often get to say, “This is what I’d like to do.” Instead, it’s always, “This is what we have to do.” So, I’ve been eagerly anticipating Taylor’s plans, hoping we’ll make it to season 2, where I can dive into the script and discover Cooper’s future. Frankly, even if I could dream up a storyline myself, it wouldn’t compare to what Taylor has in store.

Landman’s Early Ratings Point Towards A Renewal

Ever since the November 17 debut on Paramount+, the series “Landman” has been gathering significant viewership, amassing a total of 5.2 million viewers across various platforms. These high initial ratings point towards a high probability of a second season. Moreover, early critiques indicate that “Landman” fills a gap left by “Yellowstone,” notably in its authentic and heartfelt portrayal of violence and conflict resolution. In contrast to the Dutton family’s penchant for swift violence, the protagonist Norris from “Landman” is more contemplative and realistic, preferring alternative methods to resolve conflicts.

The possibilities for Tommy and Cooper’s development and progression in upcoming seasons are vast. As a leading show on Paramount+, it seems unlikely and unfortunate if the streaming platform were to abandon it prematurely. For now, nothing is set in stone, but as Paramount+ solidifies its position as the premier television destination, it would be prudent to invest more in Landman and transform it into a long-running series.
