‘Landman’ Season 2 Teases Bigger Challenges for Tommy Norris
The first season of Landman established a major shift in the story that foreshadows serious trouble for Billy Bob Thornton's character, Tommy Norris. When the series returns this month, it will focus on significant changes in Tommy’s life.
Season 1 Recap
In the Season 1 finale, "The Crumbs of Hope," Monty Miller (Jon Hamm), the owner of M-Tex Oil, dies of a heart attack. Monty's wife, Cami (Demi Moore), tasks Tommy Norris with securing a deal that could save the company. However, before Tommy can complete this mission, he is kidnapped by cartel members. He is then rescued by Galino (Andy Garcia), a senior cartel figure.
Season 2 Plot Developments
The new season picks up from these events, showing Tommy as the vice president of M-Tex Oil, now under Cami's command. As she demands:
“I want success. Get it for me.”
Tommy faces threats not only from Galino and the cartel but also struggles with his personal and fractured home life.
New Obstacles Ahead
Both Billy Bob Thornton and Landman co-creator Christian Wallace have revealed that Tommy will encounter even more difficult challenges this season. The tagline “sooner or later, something’s got to break” hints at escalating tension.
Galino’s Threat Intensifies
Galino poses the greatest danger in Season 2. Thornton explains that Tommy is no longer dealing with simple henchmen but with a much smarter and more perilous opponent.
“Tommy isn’t dealing with henchmen anymore. He knew how to deal with them.”
Season 2 promises higher stakes and deeper conflicts for Tommy Norris as he navigates corporate and cartel dangers.
Summary: Season 2 of Landman raises the stakes for Tommy Norris, thrusting him into complex battles against a cunning cartel leader and personal turmoil.
