The highly-anticipated Season 2 of "Landman" from the Taylor Sheridan universe at Paramount+ officially has a release date, and it's earlier than you might think.

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.

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 an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics."

The Texas-set series was a huge success for Paramount, garnerning a whopping 35 million global streaming viewers since its debut in November 2024, in addition to being the number one Paramount+ original ever on the service, according to the streamer. Billy Bob Thornton also scored a Golden Globe nomination for best actor in a drama series for his role in the show.
