Taylor Sheridan's latest Paramount Plus show, Landman, has now reached the end of its first season, with a dramatic finale featuring the death of Jon Hamm's character Monty.

Hamm spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about his exit from the show, saying of filming his finale scenes: "Those kinds of scenes are particularly difficult because you’re on your way out, basically, and that’s not fun.

"But honestly, being with the calibre of actors that I was with — Demi [Moore] and Billy Bob [Thornton] and everybody involved — it was just truly outstanding. You go, 'This is a spectacular group of people,' and I just can’t imagine it being any more exciting or fun.

"Obviously, the particulars of the job in that case are a little difficult given that you’ve got tubes and a bunch of gunk all up in you, but the rest of it is fun. Who gets to be present at their own death, you know?"

Monty's death sets the stage for his wife Cami, played by Demi Moore, to be a major player in a potential second season of the show, which also stars Billy Bob Thornton.

Speaking with TVLine after the show's finale, co-creator Christian Wallace said: "Cami is definitely a force to be reckoned with, and we haven’t exactly gotten to see her, like you mentioned, really exert that power and influence, because she’s been in a very different role in the first season.

"And so, if the story were to continue, it would be very interesting to see what Cami’s role would be in this world when she’s the person closer to the top and is making these decisions in a world that is still mostly populated by men.

"There are more and more women in the oil field, including women who are now occupying C-suites in some of the biggest companies in that industry. So Cami wouldn’t be entering that world alone.

"But it’s definitely more male-dominated, and so that would be just a very interesting role for her to play, moving forward. And especially having Demi play that character, who is also at the peak of her powers? I think that would just be kind of incredible to watch."

But will we ever get to see those storylines play out, or have we already seen the last of the Norris family? Read on for everything you need to know about Landman season 2.

Will there be a Landman season 2?

We don't yet know whether Landman will return for season 2, as it has yet to be officially renewed by Paramount. However, it certainly seems that the creative team behind the programme are hoping for more episodes.

Speaking with The Direct, co-creator Christian Wallace previously said: "As long as there are stories to tell, I would love to keep telling them. And I think we really just skinned the surface on our first season, and that's saying something because they cover a lot of ground. So yeah, I hope we keep telling these stories for a while."

Meanwhile, some cast members have expressed their expectation that the show will be returning, with Demi Moore telling Deadline back in May 2024: "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."

Jacob Lofland also told ScreenRant that while he "can't say yay or nay, and I have no idea", he does "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, and I think this story needs to be told, and I think people are going to love it".

Of his character's progression, Lofland said he would "hope to see Cooper become the young man that he's aspiring to be, and kind of step out of boyhood".

Meanwhile, Paulina Chávez told ScreenRant that she hasn't heard anything about the show's future, but that she wants "to stay optimistic".

"Billy Bob Thornton got nominated for a Golden Globe for the show," Chávez added, "so, I mean, I don't know, fingers crossed".

Following the show's finale being released, Thornton told Deadline that he doesn't know where a season 2 would take the characters as Sheridan "keeps it pretty close to the vest until it’s time", but added that "when he knows it’s time, he’ll let me know".

"And when he lets me know, he really lets me know the whole thing," Thornton explained. "It’s kind of like you want to get all the dust out of the corners before the family gets home when you’re cleaning the house. He really wants it to be where it’s supposed to be before any of us hear about it."

If we hear anything official from Paramount regarding the show's future, we will make sure to update this article.

When could a potential Landman season 2 be released on Paramount Plus?

It's hard to say when Landman season 2 would arrive on screens. However, we'd imagine that if the show is renewed for a second season, it may be some time until we see it.

Wrangling the all-star cast can't be easy, while the show's high production values mean it is likely to take some time to turn around. We'd imagine the earliest it could arrive on Paramount Plus would be mid-2026, although late 2026 may be more likely.

We will keep this page updated as and when we get any more concrete information.

Who would return to star in a potential Landman season 2?

With Landman having not yet been officially renewed, it's hard to say who from the cast would be back for season 2.

We would certainly expect Billy Bob Thornton to be back, while some cast members such as Jacob Lofland and Paulina Chávez have expressed their own expectation to return.

We would also expect Demi Moore to be back in an expanded role as Cami, as has been outlined by Thornton and co-creator Christian Wallace.

In contrast, Jon Hamm is not expected to return, with Wallace having confirmed that his character Monty Miller died at the end of season 1.

For now, it seems we will just have to wait and see how the cast of season 2 shapes up, but here's the cast of season 1 who could be back for the new run:

  • Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris
  • Ali Larter as Angela Norris
  • Jacob Lofland as Cooper Norris
  • Michelle Randolph as Ainsley Norris
  • Paulina Chávez as Ariana Medina
  • Kayla Wallace as Rebecca Falcone
  • Mark Collie as Sheriff Walt Joeberg
  • James Jordan as Dale Bradley
  • Demi Moore as Cami Miller

Is there a trailer for a potential Landman season 2?

There isn't a trailer available for Landman season 2 yet, as the show has not been renewed at this point. We will keep this page updated if and when any new footage emerges.

In the meantime, you can rewatch the trailer for season 1 here now.
