What Is ‘Landman’ Season 2 About?

LandmanSeason 1 ended with a major turnaroundfor our protagonist and the sudden demise of a pivotal character. Following Monty’s death, Tommy finds himself amid chaos as the new VP of M-Tex Oil, a job he never wanted. For starters, he must negotiate a highly exploratory drilling deal that could save the company from bankruptcy. To do this, Tommy must navigate his hatred for the company lawyer, Rebecca, while also dealing with the subtle threats from his new cartel contact. To add to this mix, Tommy also has a high-maintenance family, where everywhere seems a handful.

LandmanSeason 2 will likely pick up from where it left off and dive more into Tommy’s family dynamics and his budding relationship with the cartel boss Galino, who surprisingly seems to be a friend to Tommy, albeit with reasons. Hinting at what to expect in the upcoming season of the Western drama, Thornton hints,
