# Landman Season 2 Episode 1 Trailer: Sam Elliott and Billy Bob Thornton Set the Stage for Chaos

The highly anticipated return of *Landman* is just around the corner, and the trailer for Season 2 Episode 1 has fans buzzing with excitement. Starring Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris, the series dives back into the chaotic world of West Texas oil, promising even more drama than Taylor Sheridan’s *Yellowstone*.

With new power struggles, family dynamics, and dangerous alliances on the horizon, the premiere episode is shaping up to be an explosive start. Adding to the hype, Sam Elliott joins the cast as Tommy’s father, rumored to be the original Landman, setting the stage for a deep dive into family history and conflict.

Season 1 left off with the shocking death of oil titan Monty Miller (Jon Hamm), flipping Tommy’s world upside down. Now, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Monty’s widow, Cammy (Demi Moore), Tommy faces a new power struggle. The trailer reveals Cammy stepping into the spotlight, declaring to a room of bankers, “The only difference between me and my husband is, I’m meaner.”

Her fierce determination to lead clashes with Tommy’s assertion, “She owns the company, but I run it.” This tension between them is poised to define much of Season 2, promising intense confrontations from the very first episode.

Beyond business, the trailer highlights the personal stakes in Tommy’s life. Angela, his wife, remains a pillar of strength, striving to protect their family amidst the chaos. Their daughter Ainsley heads to college, opening new storylines about legacy and growing up under such a heavy burden.

Meanwhile, Tommy’s dangerous partnership with a local cartel, led by Andy Garcia’s character, adds a layer of risk and moral conflict to his already high-stakes existence. As Ali Larter, who plays Angela, noted, the family holds the heart of the show, while surrounding storylines amplify the tension.

The cast for Season 2 is stacked with talent. Demi Moore takes center stage as Cammy asserts control, while returning actors like Ali Larter, Michelle Randolph, Jacob Lofland, Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace, Mark Collie, James Jordan, and Colm Feore continue to enrich the story. The biggest addition, however, is Sam Elliott, whose return to a Sheridan project after *1883* has fans thrilled.

Playing Tommy’s father, referred to as “Pops” in a tense phone call, Elliott’s character is rumored to be the original Landman. His presence will likely influence Tommy’s business ventures and personal life, unearthing complicated family dynamics that could shape the season.

Episode 1 is expected to pick up right after Monty’s death, with Cammy stepping into her new role and Tommy juggling company control with family safety. The trailer teases immediate power plays and cartel threats, with no slow buildup.

By the episode’s end, Sam Elliott’s character is introduced as a cliffhanger, hinting at major revelations ahead. *Landman* Season 2 premieres on Sunday, November 16th on Paramount Plus, with weekly episodes. Get ready for a wild ride in the Landman’s world—drama, danger, and family secrets await.
