The fate of Landman season 2 is uncertain, yet recent events have sparked speculation among fans that a renewal could be possible soon. Demi Moore, who plays an important role in the Paramount series, recently made a remark that has been seen as a potential indication of the show's future.
Although there hasn't been any official confirmation from Paramount or the creators of the show, Moore's comment has ignited conversations on social media and fan forums.
In an interview with Esquire on December 15, 2024, Moore reflected on her experience working on Landman season 1. She said:
“I’ve already completed the first season, and I’m excited for us to start the second, which will be at the beginning of next year,”
She continued,
“It’s a very interesting world in the boomtown of Fort Worth, Texas. It’s kind of this subculture that we haven’t seen before, which is what I think Taylor [Sheridan] does so well.”
Paramount and Taylor Sheridan, however, remain silent on the show’s future, neither confirming nor denying the possibility of a second season. Moore’s statement has sparked discussions across social media and fan forums. Many fans expressed hope for a renewal, with one X user, @Miles06 stating,
“If there is not a season 2 to Landman on Paramount Plus, I will riot. Best show on TV, masterpiece!”
Another fan tweeted,
“They need to just go ahead and run Landman season 2 next week for me”
A third fan tweeted,
“Whoever made the series landman please make season 2 Billy bob and every actor are fantastic and the story line us fabulous please please make season 2 of the landman.”
Additionally, another fan shared,
"I'm so bummed tonight is the last episode of Landman. The show is soo good. And it's got too much going on for tonight to be the finale. I hope there's a season 2!!"
Demi Moore’s hint about Landman season 2
Another one of Demi Moore’s recent comments has reignited fan interest in the show. During a talk at the American Pavilion at the Cannes Film Festival on May 21, 2024, Moore shared insights into the series, saying:
“I play an oil tycoon’s wife… lots of nice clothes. The substance of it is really exploring the issues around oil, petroleum, on all sides…and then of course there’s – as Taylor does so well – there’s delicious drama within and family dynamics.”
On reuniting with her co-star Billy Bob Thornton and playing opposite John Hamm, Moore said:
“I thought we looked really good. He was lovely and I’ve known Billy Bob Thornton for a long time. I’ve already completed the first season and I’m excited for us to start the second which will be at the beginning of next year.”
Fans have since taken to social media, interpreting her remarks as a subtle indication that plans for a second season might already be in motion.
What we know so far about Landman season 2
The series, starring Billy Bob Thornton, has attracted interest in examining the energy sector and its effects on rural America. Nevertheless, the deaths of characters and an unresolved ending have caused viewers to wonder about the next phase of the narrative.
Co-creator Christian Wallace addressed the uncertainty in a recent interview. Speaking in a YouTube discussion on The Crude Life uploaded on January 10, 2025, Wallace said,
"We're definitely hoping for more and hoping to continue this story, but you know, no confirmation yet. It's still just a hope at this point."
Wallace’s remark underscores the growing importance of audience engagement and streaming performance in determining a show’s future.
Cast and crew insights about Landman season 2
Other cast members of Landman had varied reactions to the possibility of the show’s renewal. Billy Bob Thornton anchors the narrative as the lead. Jacob Lofland, portraying Cooper, shared his hopes for the story’s continuation, while Michelle Randolph expressed excitement about further exploring the dynamics of her character, Ainsley Norris.
Jacob Lofland, who plays Cooper, shared his thoughts on Landman season 2 during a December 7, 2024 interview with The Screen Rant.
“Completely unofficial, I can't say yay or nay, and I have no idea. All I can say is I hope, more than anything, that we go back to working as quick as we can on it, because it's a blast, and I love making it,”
Lofland said. He added,
“As an actor, I've never been able to go, ‘Oh, this is what I would like to do.’ It’s always, ‘This is what we got to do.’ So I’ve just been curious, waiting on Taylor. Hopefully, we get to season 2 and start reading to see what’s in store for Cooper.”
Billy Bob Thornton also expressed his enthusiasm for the series in a November 28, 2024 interview with TheWrap. He revealed,
“I’m signed up for it. Ten years ago, it wouldn’t have been fun for me. But there’s a different perception now. All the actors want to be in streaming now. That’s where you get to develop a character. What director or writer or actor doesn’t want to be able to do a movie that they don’t cut to an hour and a half?”
Michelle Randolph, who plays Ainsley Norris, echoed similar sentiments during Newsweek's December 2, 2024 interview. She stated,
“I think there's so much more of the story to tell. If we get to do a season 2, I know for a fact that everyone would be overjoyed to do that. I don't think anyone wants to stop telling the story.”
The potential direction of Landman season 2
Landman season 2 could dive deeper into the personal and professional conflicts introduced in season 1. A December 5, 2024 report by Town & Country highlighted the potential fallout from character deaths in the finale and their ripple effects on the surviving characters.
The publication also noted that Sheridan aims to explore the evolving dynamics within the energy industry and their profound impact on everyday lives. Co-creator Christian Wallace hinted at his vision for Landman season 2 during a December 6, 2024, interview with The Direct. He remarked,
“As long as there are stories to tell, I would love to keep telling them.”
Reflecting on the first season, he added,
“We really just skinned the surface... and that’s saying something because we covered a lot of ground.”
As fans eagerly await an official announcement for Landman season 2, the cast’s enthusiasm and Wallace’s creative vision suggest much to explore.
All the episodes of Landman season 1 are available for viewing on Paramount Plus.
