Taylor Sheridan’s gritty oilfield drama Landman returns for a second season, bringing an even more intense, high-stakes exploration of Texas’s ruthless energy underworld. Billy Bob Thornton reprises his acclaimed role, joined by the legendary Sam Elliott, whose gravitas and grit inject a powerful new presence into the series. This is no longer just about drilling oil—it’s about drilling into the heart of greed, loyalty, and survival.

As fresh drilling rights open up vast stretches of untapped land, decades-old grudges explode into full-blown conflict. Cartels, corporate giants, and political kingmakers circle like predators, each vying for control of the black gold beneath the Texas soil. The deeper they dig, the more dangerous the game becomes, with every deal threatening to spark a war no one can contain.

For the people of these oil towns, life is a tightrope walk over a pit of fire. Families are split apart by greed, friendships are tested to breaking, and the cost of chasing wealth is often measured in blood. Survival here demands compromise, and sometimes the only way to win is to lose a part of yourself.

Sam Elliott’s character emerges as a rugged moral compass in a landscape where morality is a luxury few can afford. But even his iron will is tested when the fight for the land turns personal. Thornton’s character, caught between protecting what’s his and seizing what’s possible, must decide if there’s still room for honor in a place built on ruthless ambition.

Visually stunning and unflinchingly raw, Landman – Season 2 pulls no punches in exposing the cutthroat politics and brutal realities of the oil industry. From dusty backroads to opulent boardrooms, every setting simmers with tension and betrayal. This is a season where fortunes are forged in fire—and enemies are made for life.
