Landman Season 2: Release date, cast and plot details
After a buzzworthy debut that lit up Paramount+, Landman is gearing up for a high-octane return. Season 2 is officially happening, and fans are already counting the days. With filming wrapped in Texas and a stacked cast—including some exciting new faces—there's a lot to unpack about what's coming next. So, if you've been dying to know when Billy Bob's back in boots or how the oil drama heats up, here's the full scoop on Landman Season 2. When Is Landman Season 2 Coming Out?
Mark the date: Landman Season 2 premieres November 17, 2025, only on Paramount+. Shooting kicked off in April 2025 down in Texas, and they've moved fast—just like Season 1's production. Expect weekly drops, not a binge-style dump, so get ready to settle in for another slow-burn season of oil-soaked chaos and high-stakes drama.
Some earlier rumors hinted at a 2026 release, but Paramount+ has confirmed the fall 2025 date. So, no need to wait too long to dive back into the drama-filled world of derricks, deals, and danger. Who's In and Who's Out? The Cast of Season 2
Landman Season 2 brings back the heavy hitters and adds some fresh energy to the mix. Here's who you'll see: Billy Bob Thornton returns as Tommy Norris, the smooth-talking crisis fixer caught between the oil game and his messy personal life. His role? Still the heartbeat of the show.
Demi Moore is back as Cami Miller, now stepping up big-time after her husband Monty's death. With Tommy's help, she's about to learn just how brutal the business of oil can be.
Andy Garcia is also returning as cartel boss Galino—his presence adds serious edge to the show. Joining him is Stefania Spampinato , playing his wife, which should deepen the cartel drama even more.
Ali Larter reprises her role as Angela Norris, Tommy's unpredictable ex-wife. Expect more emotional fireworks there.
Familiar faces like Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace, James Jordan, Mark Collie, and Colm Feore are all sticking around too, keeping the ensemble strong and consistent.
New this season: Sam Elliott joins the main cast, though his role's still under wraps. Thornton's called him a mentor, so expect something impactful. Also joining: J. Smith-Cameron ( Succession ), Guy Burnet, and Miriam Silverman—bringing new characters, new tension, and more conflict to the oil patch.
One person you won't see? Jon Hamm. His character, Monty Miller, met a dramatic end in the Season 1 finale, so his time in West Texas is officially over. What's the Story in Season 2?
While Paramount+ hasn't dropped an official synopsis yet, we've got a pretty good idea of what's coming—thanks to the explosive Season 1 finale and a few behind-the-scenes teases. Tommy's Juggling Act: He's still trying to balance shady oil deals, cartel ties, and family drama. His dynamic with Cami deepens as he helps her navigate the industry Monty left behind.
Cami Steps Up: After losing her husband, Cami finds herself thrown into the deep end at M-Tex Oil. With no real experience, she leans on Tommy—but expect her to carve out her own path, too.
Cartel Trouble: Tommy's alliance with Galino is only going to get messier. With Andy Garcia's cool, calculating presence and Stefania Spampinato's new character adding to the intrigue, there's bound to be danger on both sides of the law.
Fresh Faces, New Fights: The new characters aren't just background noise. J. Smith-Cameron's role could tie into corporate or legal drama, while Guy Burnet's engineer character might stir things up on the ground level.
Family Fallout: Tommy's family life remains a mess. His ex-wife Angela is still around, and his daughter Ainsley (Michelle Randolph) continues to be a crucial emotional anchor—or perhaps a breaking point.
And as with all Taylor Sheridan shows, don't expect this to stay on the surface. Season 2 will likely dive even deeper into themes like power, greed, loyalty, and the environmental price of all that black gold beneath the dirt.

Murder in a Small Town Season 2 Trailer Reveals First Look at Marcia Gay Harden's Arrival (Exclusive)
Marcia Gay Harden is assuming office as Mayor Christie Holman in Murder in a Small Town. In TVLine's exclusive first look at the teaser for Season 2 of the Fox procedural — which premieres Tuesday, Sept. 23 at 8/7c — the So Help Me Todd vet is seen encouraging Gibsons' chief of police Karl Alberg (Rossif Sutherland), praising his 'superb' success rate. More from TVLine Fox Reveals Complete List of Fall Premiere Dates: Murder in a Small Town, Weakest Link and More! What to Watch in August: Your Guide to 130+ Premieres Across Broadcast, Cable and Streaming Las Culturistas Culture Awards Show Gloriously Commits to the Bit on Bravo - Would You Watch Again Next Year? Per the official character description, Mayor Holman is 'a practicing doctor and beloved figure in the community, and a consummate political operator.' Though the promo makes it seem like Alberg and the elected official are on the same team, Harden's mayor will ultimately 'complicate life' for the police chief as she 'sometimes lets her personal interests take precedence.' The Fox drama, which was renewed for Season 2 back in January, is based on the award-winning Karl Alberg series by novelist L.R. Wright. Season 1 followed Alberg as he moved to the town of Gibsons to soothe a psyche that had been battered by big-city police work. There, he quickly learned that this gentle paradise harbored secrets that would call upon the skills that made him a world-class detective. Amid the chaos of crime, he met Cassandra Lee (Kristin Kreuk), a local librarian who became Karl's muse, foil and romantic interest. In the second season, 'Karl's jurisdiction expands and he will have to contend with an increased caseload and limited resources,' per the official synopsis. His cases include 'a body found at a local wedding between members of two feuding families; a double kidnapping that may mask an even bigger crime; and a pop star who retreated to Gibsons for a quiet vacation only to be followed by a dangerous stalker.' In addition to Harden, Bethany Brown (The Good Doctor), Marci T. House (Happy Face) and Joshua Close (Fargo) have all joined Murder in a Small Town Season 2, while Aaron Douglas returns as Sergeant Sid Sokolowski, Karl's second-in-command.

Former WBZ-TV anchor Kate Merrill sues station, alleging she was discriminated against because she is white
None of the defendants immediately responded to requests for comment on Wednesday morning. Merrill and her attorneys also couldn't be reached. Advertisement In her $4 million suit, Merrill says Mikell, who joined the station in fall 2023, 'made an inappropriate sexual innuendo' about her on the air. 'Specifically, he implied that Ms. Merrill and her co-anchor had sexual relations at a gazebo,' the complaint says. A video clip of the interaction couldn't immediately be located Wednesday. The complaint says Merrill's executive producer complained to the station's news director about the incident, but Mikell 'was not disciplined for his sexually charged remark about Ms. Merrill.' On April 3, 2024, Merrill texted Mikell during a commercial break about his on-air pronunciation of Concord, according to the complaint. 'Hey Boo,' Merrill texted Mikell, according to the complaint. 'For both Concord MA and NH it's Conquered never Con-Chord [smiley heart emoji].' Advertisement 'That's what I said,' Mikell replied. After Merrill said he used the latter pronunciation 'a while ago,' Mikell responded, 'doubtful' and 'but OK,' the complaint says. It says Mikell, a native of Mississippi, had previously asked Merrill to help him with pronouncing unfamiliar town names. Despite that, Mikell 'immediately confronted Ms. Merrill, loudly yelling at her on the studio floor and asserting that she was being critical of him,' the complaint said. 'His tone was aggressive and unprofessional.' The complaint says Merrill immediately 'lodged a complaint' with WBZ's human resources department. The filing also includes screenshots of texts from a colleague who witnessed the encounter and told another coworker that Merrill 'texted [Mikell] I guess, like, how to pronounce Concord cause he said it wrong he literally walks over and freaks out.' On April 10, 2024, the complaint says, Roderick informed Merrill that an investigation was being launched into allegations she treated coworkers differently because of their race, adding that Cole and Mikell, who are both Black, 'simultaneously raised complaints' about her to Paramount's legal department. From that conversation, the filing says, Merrill gleaned that Mikell had reported that she told him he would 'find his people' in Boston. The complaint says Merrill meant to suggest Mikell would find 'a community of friends' in the Hub, but he 'apparently interpreted [the comment] as racist.' Mikell also reported to Paramount that Merrill 'was 'always' critical of him,' and that she 'did not ask him about his weekends, an omission he also apparently attributed to his race,' even though 'due to the demands on Ms. Merrill's time and extremely busy schedule in the mornings, she did not ask any colleagues about their weekends during that time,' the complaint alleges, adding that Merrill learned this based on 'Roderick's questions' to her. Advertisement The complaint says Mikell also referenced a broadcast where producers prompted Merrill and a co-anchor to make a 'Dirty Job' reference as they bantered about Mikell's 'Do Your Job' segment. Merrill suggested Mikell 'could work as a garbage collector' while her co-anchor said Mikell 'could pick strawberries,' he reported to Paramount, according to the complaint. Merrill 'vehemently challenged the validity' of Mikell's allegations, the complaint says. A written warning from higher-ups had said Merrill, when asked about the 'Dirty Jobs' dustup, had responded ''all my garbage collectors are white,' (or words to that effect), which assertion is categorically false,' according to the complaint. Merrill 'stated that she did not understand how her on-air comment was a racist statement when she does not see, understand, or expect that a garbage collection job is or should be performed by persons of one race or another,' the complaint said. The suit says Cole, meanwhile, complained that Merrill had told her she should go to Nashville, where Merrill used to work, because Cole could 'become the main anchor' in Music City. Cole 'apparently interpreted a suggestion that she go to Nashville because it would be a better racial fit for Defendant Cole (who is Black) rather than a comment about career opportunities and how much she (Ms. Merrill) enjoyed Nashville,' the complaint says. Merrill 'vehemently challenged' Cole's allegations, the complaint says. But on May 17, 2024, Roderick informed her that Paramount had 'corroborated' the complaints against her while being unable to substantiate her complaint against Mikell. Advertisement Days later, at two separate staff meetings, Draper 'publicly announced to all WBZ personnel' that Merrill was being demoted from her coveted weekday morning anchor slot to working weekend nights, 'humiliating her.' Merrill resigned on May 24, 2024, the complaint says, owing to 'the catastrophic damage a demotion would have caused her career, especially in the context of allegations that she was racist.' The complaint says Merrill had long advocated for colleagues of color and alleged she was demoted 'to make an example of her, to attempt to make the point that CBS now took seriously complaints of racism allegedly perpetrated by White employees and was (is) not a racist organization.' None of the defendants had filed responses in court to the lawsuit as of early Wednesday afternoon. A trial date hasn't been set. Material from prior Globe stories was used in this report.
