Landman Season 2: Everything We Know
View List
Official word of his casting comes nearly two months after Paramount+ announced the show's renewal. At the time, TVLine reported that Andy Garcia, who was introduced in the Season 1 finale, would be back as a series regular in Season 2.
'Landman was one of the biggest shows of the year because of Taylor Sheridan's unique ability to tap into the cultural zeitgeist, harnessing the Neo-western themes of rugged individualism, ambition and working-class struggles set against contemporary debates around energy, climate change and economic growth,' Chris McCarthy, President and CEO, Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios and Paramount Media Networks, said in a previous statement. Meanwhile, Paramount+ noted that Landman had 35 million global streaming viewers for its premiere (based on Average Minute Audience and including CTV viewing), and that it delivered the most-watched global premiere and finale of any series in the streamer's history. (Per Nielsen, Millennials and Gen X were the main draw for Landman, with 58% of the audience falling into the 35-64 age bracket.)
The series follows Tommy Norris (Thornton) in the cutthroat world of oilfields in Texas where 'roughnecks and wildcat billionaires are fueling a boom so big it's reshaping our climate, our economy, and our geopolitics,' per the official logline. The Season 1 finale found Tommy assuming leadership of the oil company he works for after the unexpected death of his boss, CEO Monty Miller (played by Jon Hamm).
In addition to playing 1883's Capt. Shea Brennan, Elliott's resumé includes roles on series like The Ranch, Grace and Frankie, Justified and Parks and Recreation and in films such as A Star Is Born, Hulk and Road House.

Charlamagne tha God lauds book reveal, shares skepticism about Harris in 2028
Charlamagne tha God shared skepticism on the possibility of another White House bid from former Vice President Harris on Thursday but encouraged her to connect with people by publishing a book. 'I don't know if she should run again, but I definitely would like to see her write a book. I definitely would like to see her start a podcast and just build a real connection with people,' Charlamagne said during a Thursday episode of 'The Breakfast Club.' 'And she is relatively young. I just don't know what's going to happen in 2028, man. I just think Democrats suck so bad. I don't know,' he added. Some have speculated Harris is planning to enter the presidential race in 2028, where her Democratic opponents could range from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) to California Gov. Gavin Newsom. 'I think Kamala can definitely be a leader in the Democratic Party. And I mean, I think the interesting thing about the former VP is I kind of like that strategy,' Charlamagne told listeners. On Wednesday, Harris announced she would not launch a bid for governor in the Golden State. However, she also promoted her new book ' 107 Days,' focused on the behind-the-scenes of the campaign trail she undertook months after former President Biden dropped out of the race. In the past, Charlamagne lauded Harris for reviving a ' dead ' campaign but said President Trump captured audiences and spoke to voter grievances better. Harris is expected to give her first formal post-election remarks in a Thursday interview on 'The Late Show' with Stephen Colbert. Colbert, whose show is ending next year, has been critical of both Trump and his network CBS's parent company, Paramount, in a lawsuit Trump brought against '60 Minutes' over its editing of an interview with Harris.

How to Style Cowboy Boots, According to an Editor in 2025
You know, I know, we all know—the Western trend is alive and very much here to stay. I mean, what you see the Cowboy Carter concert outfits? We're even going so far as to wear cowboy hats to the beach (Hailey Bieber can convince you of that one). But cowboy boots, specifically, are very much an essential for every season. Contrary to popular belief, these boots are not just for music festivals (though they're perfect for the occasion), so if you're late to the party, it's time to get yourself a pair or two for every single occasion. With the right styling, you'll be the most fashionable cowgirl out there. Don't worry—I hear you if you haven't the slightest clue of how to style cowboy boots. I've got you covered with street style inspiration, celebrity Instagram posts, and, of course, styling advice. Paired with everything from your favorite dress to the typical tank and shorts combination, cowboy boots will see you through all your plans, this season and beyond. Whether you're brunching in the city or two-stepping at a music fest, these cowboy boot looks are guaranteed to turn heads. Scroll on for 11 ways to style cowboy boots. Bella Hadid's red dress and brown leather boots combo proves you don't need to overthink it—just throw on your favorite flirty dress with knee-high boots and you're set. This look works for literally everything from weekend brunch to music festivals, and honestly, it's way more comfortable than heels. Emily Ratajkowski channels Princess Diana with this blazer-and-boots combo that feels both polished and rebellious. The trick is tucking your jeans into tall boots—it creates a sleek silhouette that feels more sophisticated than letting denim bunch over the boots. Add an oversized blazer and simple top for that effortless "I didn't try too hard but still look amazing" appeal. This formula works for the office, casual Fridays, coffee meetings, or any time you want to feel put-together without sacrificing comfort. These electric blue boots prove that when you want to add a pop of color to your outfit, Western-style footwear is the perfect vehicle. The trick is building your look around that one bold piece. This is how you turn a basic shorts-and-top combo into something that actually stops traffic. Emma Chamberlain's sunny yellow dress with red embroidered boots proves that color clashing can actually work when you commit to it fully. The key is choosing one standout element—like those gorgeous red boots—and building your accessories around it with matching sunglasses and a fun patterned bag. Ketchup and mustard never looked so good! A tailored set might seem like an unlikely pairing with cowboy boots, but this polished look proves how wrong that assumption is. The secret is keeping everything in the same color family. Perfect for when you want to look put-together but still show some personality. Cowboy boots are the perfect match for a high-low dress—they ground the dramatic silhouette and keep it from feeling too fancy. The boots peek out perfectly under the shorter front hem while the longer back creates that Instagram-worthy drama. Easy formula that works for brunch dates or whenever you want to look effortlessly put-together. When you want to fully commit to the Western aesthetic, matching your cowboy boots to your leather jacket is the way to go. This rich brown leather coordination creates a cohesive look that feels intentional rather than accidental. The trick is adding contrasting elements—like the black mini skirt and tights—to keep it from looking like a costume. This approach works best when both pieces have similar finishes and tones, creating an elevated take on cowgirl dressing that's especially perfect for fall. Bermuda shorts and cowboy boots might sound like an odd couple, but this look proves they're actually perfect together. The longer hemline of the shorts creates a nice proportion with tall boots. Add a long coat for polish, and you've got an outfit that works for transitional weather when it's too warm for full pants but too cool for mini shorts. Sometimes the best outfits come from mixing unexpected pieces you already own. Two rebellious classics come together in this perfectly edgy combination. Keep the rest of the look simple with shorts and a basic tee so the statement pieces can do all the talking. A crisp white shirt dress makes cowboy boots look sophisticated instead of casual. The contrast between the polished collar and rugged Western boots creates an unexpectedly chic combination that works for the office or elevated weekend plans. This look proves that with the right styling, cowboy boots can absolutely work in professional settings. A denim mini-skirt set gets an instant upgrade when you add cowboy boots to the mix. The Western footwear balances out the sweetness of the matching pieces and adds just enough edge to keep the look from feeling too precious.

Trump's Ominous Prediction in Searing Stephen Colbert Rant
Donald Trump tore into 'lack of talent' Stephen Colbert in a seething rant where he denied involvement of The Late Show's cancelation and warned 'the other two' are next. The president wrote on Truth Social Tuesday that ratings for the late-night shows dictate their hosts' futures, claiming that the outlook for Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon didn't look good, either. 'Everybody is saying that I was solely responsible for the firing of Stephen Colbert from CBS, Late Night. That is not true!' Trump wrote. 'The reason he was fired was a pure lack of TALENT, and the fact that this deficiency was costing CBS $50 Million Dollars a year in losses — And it was only going to get WORSE!' CBS executives said in a statement announcing the cancellation of The Late Show that their decision was a financial one. They also rejected arguments that it had anything to do with CBS' parent company, Paramount, being on the verge of an acquisition by Skydance —one which the Federal Communications Commission had to approve. Colbert, who had called Paramount's settlement with Trump over a 60 Minutes segment on Kamala Harris a 'big fat bribe,' would soon be followed out the door by his peers on ABC and NBC, Trump said. 'Next up will be an even less talented Jimmy Kimmel, and then, a weak, and very insecure, Jimmy Fallon. The only real question is, who will go first?' he wondered. 'Show Biz and Television is a very simple business,' added the former Apprentice fixture. 'If you get Ratings, you can say or do anything. If you don't, you always become a victim. Colbert became a victim to himself, the other two will follow.' Kimmel shot back later on Instagram, bringing attention back to the president's relationship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 'I know you're busy Sharpie-ing the Epstein files, but this seems like a weird way to tell people to watch Matt Damon and Ken Jennings on an all-new Who Wants to Be a Millionaire tomorrow night at 8|7c on @ABC,' he joked. Following The Late Show's cancellation, Kimmel criticized the network on the same platform: 'F--- you and all your Sheldons, CBS.' Meanwhile, Fallon said he was 'shocked' by the news. A week ago, Trump was on Truth Social treating the notion of their departures as almost inevitable. In that post, though, he wanted credit: 'I hope I played a major part in it!' Ratings-wise, Colbert's show bested Kimmel and Fallon during the second quarter of this year, with 2.4 million viewers compared to 1.8 million and 1.2 million, respectively—not a good sign for the pair, if Trump is correct.
