🚨 BACK IN THE GAME! Landman Season 2 Ignites a New Power War in West Texas — And Sam Elliott Just Raised the Stakes 🔥😱

Sam Elliott Rides Again: Joins the Cast of Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Landman’

The rumors are true! Western film icon and 1883 star Sam Elliott is officially joining the cast of Taylor Sheridan’s Landman. Billy Bob Thornton himself confirmed the news, also announcing his return to lead the second season of the hit Paramount+ series.

Elliott’s arrival adds even more star power to a cast that already boasts Thornton, Demi Moore, and recently announced members Andy Garcia, Ali Larter, and Michelle Randolph. While details about Elliott’s specific role remain a mystery, Thornton has teased that it will be a significant one—and fans of both Yellowstone and 1883 are already buzzing with anticipation.

“I go way back with [Sam] to the mid-80s,” Thornton shared with Deadline, adding with a touch of humor, “Yes, I’m old.”

From 1883 to Landman

Elliott is no stranger to the world of Taylor Sheridan. He captivated audiences as Shea Brennan in 1883, the critically acclaimed prequel to Yellowstone, starring alongside Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Isabel May. His raw and poignant portrayal of a wagon train leader haunted by his past resonated deeply with viewers and critics alike. It’s no wonder Sheridan sought him out again for a major role in Landman.

About the Series

Created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, Landman delves into the high-stakes world of the Texas oil boom, exploring the lives of those striving for wealth and power, from the gritty roughnecks to the opulent billionaires. Thornton plays Tommy Norris, a tough-as-nails oil executive constantly battling challenges from all sides, including his own family and colleagues.

The series is inspired by Wallace’s podcast, Boomtown. Despite some mixed reviews, Landman has become another major success for Sheridan and Paramount. It garnered 14.6 million viewers in its first week and stands as one of the platform’s most successful debuts to date.

• Andy Garcia
• Ali Larter

With this impressive cast and Sheridan’s signature storytelling, Landman is shaping up to be one of the most highly anticipated series returns of the year. And now that Sam Elliott is officially on board, it’s clear that the stakes have been raised even higher.
