Let the oil wars begin.
The highly anticipated Season 2 of “Landman” from the Taylor Sheridan universe returns this weekend on Paramount+, and Demi Moore, whose character will be more central this season, teased that the season will start “with a bang.”
“It gets juicy,” Moore said ahead of the premiere.
Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, “Landman” depicts a “modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs,” according to the series synopsis.
“In Season Two, as oil rises from the earth, so do secrets – and Tommy Norris’ (Billy Bob Thornton) breaking point may be closer than he realizes,” this season’s synopsis said.
As Norris faces “mounting pressure” from M-Tex Oil, Cami Miller (Moore) and “the shadow of his kin,” his “survival in West Texas isn’t noble – it’s brutal. And sooner or later something’s got to break,” the synopsis reads.
Co-created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, the series is based on the 11-part podcast “Boomtown” from Imperative Entertainment and Texas Monthly, and is described as “an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.”

Thornton also scored a Golden Globe nomination for best actor in a drama series for his role in the show.
