Glasser<\/b>, and <b>David Hutkin<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Additional executive producers include billionaire investor <b>Ron Burkle<\/b>, Bob Yari, <b>Billy Bob Thornton<\/b> himself, and <b>Michael Friedman<\/b>. <b>Paramount<\/b> TV Studios and <b>101 Studios<\/b> produce the series with <b>Paramount+<\/b> as the exclusive streaming home. Season 2 consists of <b>10 episodes<\/b>, rolling out weekly through January 2026.<\/p>\n<h2>Will Landman Season 2 Maintain Streaming Dominance?<\/h2>\n<p>The <b>9.2 million opening viewership<\/b> positions Season 2 to maintain <b>Landman<\/b>&#8216;s status as one of television&#8217;s biggest hits. Season 1 averaged 15.8 million viewers across its run and ranked inside the Nielsen top 10 series for the 2024-25 television season. That&#8217;s unusually strong performance for a premium cable drama in the streaming era.<\/p>\n<p>The second season&#8217;s premiere performance suggests viewership will climb even higher as word-of-mouth spreads through social networks. Industry analysts predict <b>Landman<\/b> could become the year&#8217;s most-watched series across all platforms. The show&#8217;s appeal spans demographics typically siloed into separate audiences, making it a rare mainstream television event.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Watch Landman Season 2 Now<\/h3>\n<p>All 10 episodes of <b>Landman<\/b> Season 2 premiere exclusively on <b>Paramount+<\/b> with new episodes dropping weekly every Sunday. The premiere aired November 16, 2025, with subsequent episodes scheduled through January 2026. Subscription to <b>Paramount+<\/b> is required to stream. The platform offers multiple tier options to accommodate different viewer preferences.<\/p>\n<h2>What Makes Landman Season 2 Different From Season 1?<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond the <b>262% viewership jump<\/b>, Season 2 elevates stakes significantly by introducing <b>Sam Elliott<\/b> as Tommy&#8217;s father. The show deepens character relationships while expanding the oil business scope across West Texas. Season 1 established <b>Landman<\/b> as appointment television; Season 2 doubles down with higher production values and expanded ambitions.<\/p>\n<p>The addition of veteran character actor <b>Elliott<\/b> adds gravitas that elevates every scene. His presence suggests family drama will intersect with business intrigue in ways Season 1 only hinted at. Early reviews praise the ensemble chemistry and <b>Sheridan<\/b>&#8216;s refined storytelling approach.<\/p>\n<h3>Sources<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>The Hollywood Reporter<\/b> &#8211; Season 2 premiere sets record with 9.2 million views<\/li>\n<li><b>Variety<\/b> &#8211; Confirmed 262% viewership increase over Season 1<\/li>\n<li><b>Paramount+<\/b> &#8211; Official cast and premiere details<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":19600,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"schema_org_data":"{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Billy Bob Thornton\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/vgLTcq1nYcNmIr3yLxS7sk84sav.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/879\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Demi Moore\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/wApParZYBDi4yxekjfxjKEifJYh.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/3416\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Andy Garcia\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/aRooE4lECWf0YXd2NefeM4Wu4rn.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/1271\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Ali Larter\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/2HOlaSd30yBCrr366GfPG2PF6D8.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/17303\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Jacob Lofland\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/jU1eW9oOTC4ILfLNFeNUC7Fa5ya.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/1171570\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Sam Elliott\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/1K2IvGXFbKsgkExuUsRvy4F0c9e.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/16431\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Michelle Randolph\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/hbe4RPaEzZCvLvyWxV6tvwcFQo4.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/1902690\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Paulina Ch\u00e1vez\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/tKF77iTnLu3HwTFKJRAYmoiVcFL.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/2541980\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Kayla Wallace\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/yeXPErkuJr3gLNeYOuATt27Z8Kr.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/2019485\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Mark Collie\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/52rYCRzJ2bhQMqfvLDvfV23UzdL.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/53199\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"James Jordan\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/2528995\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Colm Feore\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/jeotIVor4fH3oqxkRZ6qyUbgrJ3.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/10132\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Taylor Sheridan\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/x7jpL85WF5sk3cPj2lukrGkZYig.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/1215399\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Christian Wallace\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/2340261\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"David C.
