Landman Season 2 Debuts Nov. 16 With Thornton and Sam Elliott

Paramount has announced that Landman’s second season will debut on November 16, with Billy Bob Thornton returning as Tommy Norris, the hard-edged but family-focused oil industry fixer at the center of a West Texas boom. The new episodes will also feature Sam Elliott joining the cast as a series regular, alongside returning stars Demi Moore, Andy Garcia and Ali Larter.
