Meet the Landman Season 2 Main Cast and Characters
The show boasts an incredible ensemble cast, blending veteran actors with rising stars, a hallmark of Taylor Sheridan's productions. The second season introduced several high-profile new entities, including Hollywood icon Demi Moore and legendary actor Andy Garcia, significantly raising the dramatic stakes.
- Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris: The central protagonist, a veteran petroleum landman navigating the volatile and corrupt world of the oil industry. He is constantly trying to balance his professional ambition with his complicated family life.
- Demi Moore as Cami Miller: A new major character in Season 2. She is a powerful and shrewd oil executive and a friend of Tommy’s wife, Angela, whose presence at M-Tex Oil creates immediate tension and new challenges for Tommy.
- Ali Larter as Angela Norris: Tommy’s wife, who is deeply involved in the social and financial pressures of the Texas oil community.
- Jacob Lofland as Cooper Norris: Tommy’s son. A major plot point in Season 2 is Cooper's own venture into the oil business, where he strikes oil but quickly finds himself in over his head.
- Michelle Randolph as Ainsley Norris: Tommy’s daughter, whose life is also intertwined with the high-stakes environment of West Texas.
- Andy Garcia as Gallino: Another new addition for Season 2, Gallino is a powerful and mysterious figure with deep ties to industry vultures and a known connection to a drug cartel, making him a serious threat to Tommy’s operations.
- Sam Elliott as T.L. Norris: Tommy’s father, a figure from the previous season whose strained relationship with Tommy is explored as Tommy attempts to reconcile with him.
The True Story and Inspiration Behind the Series
Unlike some of Taylor Sheridan’s purely fictional dramas, Landman is directly rooted in a real-world story and profession. The series is co-created by Sheridan and Christian Wallace, and is specifically inspired by the narrative podcast series called Boomtown.
The show’s gritty realism is drawn from the actual events of the Texas Oil Boom, which saw a massive surge in oil and gas exploration in the Permian Basin, particularly in the Midland-Odessa area. This rapid, chaotic, and often ethically questionable pursuit of wealth is the foundational setting for the entire series.
What Exactly is a "Petroleum Landman"?
The term "Landman" is not a fictional title; it refers to a very real and crucial specialist in the oil and gas industry.
- The Core Job: A petroleum landman is a professional responsible for acquiring the rights to extract natural resources—specifically subsurface mineral rights—from privately or publicly owned land.
- Key Duties: Their work involves complex negotiations with landowners to secure drilling rights, ensuring that all necessary leases are in place, and conducting extensive research on land titles and mineral ownership.
- The Drama: In the world of Landman, this job is portrayed as a high-stakes, morally ambiguous endeavor. Tommy Norris, as a landman, is the middleman between the powerful oil companies and the individual landowners, often facing ethical dilemmas, corruption, and danger as he tries to secure the next big deal.
Season 2 Plot Twists: From Oil Strikes to Cartel Vultures
The second season immediately escalated the drama, focusing on the immediate fallout of the new oil boom and the introduction of corporate and criminal threats to the Norris family’s operations. The plot is a dense web of business, family, and crime, typical of the Taylor Sheridan Universe.
The Cooper Norris Oil Strike
The season kicked off with a major development: Tommy’s son, Cooper Norris, successfully struck oil on a lease he was working. This instant wealth and success immediately put a massive target on his back, drawing the attention of "industry vultures" and powerful, dangerous figures looking to exploit his inexperience.
Cami Miller and the M-Tex Oil Conflict
The arrival of Cami Miller at M-Tex Oil created a hostile environment for Tommy. As a powerful executive, she pushes Tommy to the brink, challenging his methods and his loyalty. Her corporate ruthlessness is a constant source of tension, forcing Tommy to make increasingly difficult choices to protect his family and his position.
The Threat of Gallino and the Cartel
Perhaps the most dangerous element of Season 2 is the introduction of Andy Garcia's character, Gallino. This storyline ties the oil industry directly to organized crime, as Gallino is revealed to be a leader of a drug cartel using the legitimate business world as a front. The ongoing plot involves an oil tanker crash, an issue with an offshore drill, and a dangerous gas leak—all of which Tommy is forced to investigate, leading him closer to Gallino's corrupt and violent operation.
As Landman Season 2 continues to air new episodes every Sunday through its January 2026 finale, the stakes for Tommy Norris and his family have never been higher. The series masterfully uses the backdrop of the Texas Oil Boom to explore themes of greed, family legacy, and the true cost of the American dream, solidifying its place as one of the most compelling dramas on television today.
