**************

The Texas sun doesn’t just beat down in Taylor Sheridan’s universe—it scorches souls, turning black gold into blood money and family ties into nooses. Just hours ago, Paramount+ unleashed Landman Season 2, and if the first season’s dust-choked drill rigs and boardroom brawls hooked you like a roughneck’s grapple, this sophomore run detonates the powder keg. Sam Elliott’s gravel-voiced Tommy Norris returns as the crisis-fixing oilman with a moral compass as bent as a busted pipeline, but the real seismic shift? Demi Moore storms the patch as Angela Norris, Tommy’s ex-wife and a force of nature wielding stilettos and score-settling fury. It’s a gritty showdown of oil barons, cartel incursions, and revenge arcs that spiral into chaos, delivering twists, betrayals, and revelations that’ll leave you gasping for air amid the Permian Basin’s relentless roar. “Wilder, darker, deadlier—Sheridan’s got us by the throat again,” one viewer tweeted post-episode drop, echoing the frenzy as it tops streaming charts. Full throttle ahead: This isn’t just a season; it’s an all-out war where the only thing blacker than the crude is the betrayal.

Announced with a cryptic teaser trailer during the Season 1 finale’s credits in December 2024—a blood-smeared hardhat tumbling into an oil slick—Season 2 clocks in at 10 episodes, dropping weekly to savor the suspense (or torture, depending on your binge tolerance). Sheridan, the Yellowstone architect whose empire now spans ranches, special ops, and Tulsa firefighters, pens this chapter alongside showrunner Christian Matras and executive producer David C. Glasser. Filmed amid the scorching summer of 2025 in Fort Worth and the bone-dry badlands of West Texas, the production amps the scale: exploding derricks, chopper pursuits over dusty mesas, and lavish Houston galas masking cartel knife-fights. Budget swelled to $15 million per episode, per industry whispers, funding A-list firepower like Moore’s debut and Jon Hamm’s recurring arc as a silver-tongued energy tycoon with skeletons in his subprime vaults. “Season 2 digs deeper into the Norris family fractures,” Sheridan told Variety at the premiere bash. “Tommy thought he was fixing leaks; now the whole rig’s on fire—starting with the woman he couldn’t hold onto.”

Elliott, 81 and embodying the weathered oak of American machismo, reprises Tommy with a weariness that cuts like shrapnel. Last season’s widower—grappling with his wild-child daughter Ainsley (Michelle Randolph) and the ghosts of a rig-site tragedy—now navigates a remarriage to a scheming geologist while fending off federal probes into his “consulting” gigs. But the heart of the storm is Moore’s Angela, introduced in Episode 1’s cold open: a high-powered litigator who’s clawed her way from Permian poverty to penthouse perches, only to circle back for Tommy’s throat after a divorce that left her penniless and pissed. “Demi doesn’t just enter; she erupts,” raves The Hollywood Reporter, praising her ice-queen facade cracking into raw venom during a deposition that devolves into a whiskey-fueled warehouse ambush. Moore, 63 and fresh off Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, channels a blend of Indecent Proposal seduction and A Few Good Men courtroom savagery, her Angela the catalyst for a revenge plot that unearths Tommy’s dirtiest secrets: a cover-up of fracking toxins poisoning local waters, tied to a Mexican syndicate’s fentanyl pipeline.

The plot ignites small—a routine land lease gone sour, with a young roughneck (Ali Suliman, breakout from Sasquatch) vanishing after witnessing a “negligent discharge” on Norris Energy turf—but snowballs into a hydra of horrors. Cartel enforcers muscle in on mineral rights, sparking a mid-season massacre at a wildcat auction that leaves the body count climbing faster than rig prices. Tommy’s fixer instincts clash with Angela’s legal scalpel: She sues his firm into oblivion while bedding his rivals, her whispers to Ainsley sowing daughterly doubt. “It’s oil, crime, and revenge on steroids,” Matras teased in a Deadline deep-dive. “Every betrayal’s a blowout—gushers of lies, spills of blood.” Subplots thicken the crude: Jacob Lofland’s Cooper Norris, Tommy’s hot-headed son, dives into underground fighting rings bankrolled by shady sheikhs; Kayla Wallace’s Rebecca, the corporate climber, uncovers embezzlement that fingers Tommy’s new bride. And Hamm’s Harlan Voss? A velvet-gloved viper whose “philanthropic” foundation launders cartel cash, setting up a finale face-off in a storm-lashed oil field where loyalties shatter like safety glass.

Sheridan’s hallmark—vast landscapes as characters, dialogue that snaps like a bullwhip—evolves here into something primal. Cinematographer Ben Richardson (a Yellowstone alum) bathes the Basin in twilight purples and flare-stack oranges, turning pumpjacks into metallic specters. The score, by Emmy-winner Brian Tyler, throbs with pedal-steel wails and tribal drums, underscoring montages of hydraulic fracturing that double as metaphors for fractured families. “This season’s darker palette mirrors the moral muck,” Richardson shared on set. “Demi’s scenes? They’re lit like noir—shadows swallowing secrets.” Twists abound: A sh0cking revelation in Episode 5 flips Angela’s vendetta on its head, tying her to the very cartel Tommy’s battling, while a betrayal from Ainsley—fueled by leaked affair texts—ignites a family implosion that rivals Succession‘s bloodiest boardrooms.

Critics are drilling for superlatives. IndieWire crowns it “Sheridan’s savage symphony—Elliott’s stoic blaze meets Moore’s molten rage in a thriller that throttles from the jump.” Rotten Tomatoes blazes at 95%, with audiences at 98%, fueled by the “unforgettable” premiere’s 25-minute one-take sequence: Tommy and Angela’s divorce hearing erupting into a courthouse shootout. Vulture quips it’s “deadlier than Sicario, wilder than Hell or High Water,” though notes the sprawl occasionally overwhelms: “Too many rigs in the rotation, but the explosions? Chef’s kiss.” The New York Times hails Moore’s “career-redefining ferocity,” her Angela a “grizzly in Louboutins” who elevates the show’s feminist undercurrents. Detractors? A Slate piece gripes the cartel trope feels “recycled from Narcos,” but concedes the family carnage “cuts fresh wounds.”

Fans? Losing their minds in the best way. X erupted at drop time: “Landman S2 premiere had me yelling at my TV—Demi Moore just ATE that role. Tommy who? #OilBloodRevenge,” one post racked up 40K retweets. Another: “Sh0cking twist in Ep3? My jaw’s still on the floor. Sheridan, you monster—don’t stop the pain.” Viewership surged 40% over Season 1’s debut, per Paramount+ data, spawning memes of Elliott’s thousand-yard stare captioned “When your ex shows up with the cartel subpoena.” Book-to-screen purists from the Landman graphic novels nod approval at the expanded lore, while Yellowstone crossovers (a Dutton cameo?) spark fevered speculation. “Prepare for the ride—this season’s a blowout preventer failure on every front,” urged a viral thread.

Yet Landman Season 2 transcends pulp thrills, indicting the energy game’s underbelly: Environmental ravages, immigrant exploitation, the gilded greed of ESG-washing execs. Tommy’s arc—questioning if “fixing” means fueling the fire—forces Elliott into uncharted vulnerability, his monologues on lost comrades hitting like a methane flare. Angela’s revenge? A scalpel to patriarchy’s pumpjacks, her courtroom monologues blending legalese with lacerating wit. “It’s Sheridan’s most personal yet,” Glasser reflected. “Diving into divorce’s dark side, oil’s original sin.” As the finale looms—teased with a tanker-truck inferno and a courtroom gavel echoing gunshots—the question hangs: Can Tommy douse the flames, or will Angela’s inferno consume them all?

In a fall slate bloated with reboots, Landman Season 2 roars as Sheridan’s rawest rush yet—an unforgettable binge where every twist draws blood, every betrayal blackens the sky. Stream it now on Paramount+; the derricks are humming, the grudges are grinding, and the revelations? They’re just starting to gush. You won’t stop watching—hell, you can’t look away.
