Landman Season 2 adds a new star from creator Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone universe
Paramount Plus' beloved new series Landman is getting a new star for its second season, one fans familiar with Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone universe will be familiar with.
The first season of Landman debuted in mid-November 2024 with the 10-episode season wrapping up in early January, starring Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris.
The streaming service renewed the series for a second season back in March, with production starting up earlier this month.
Thornton returns alongside Demi Moore, Andy Garcia, Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace, Mark Collie, James Jordan and Colm Feore in Season 2.
Sheridan also created Landman alongside Christian Wallace, based on Wallace's Boomtown podcast.
Who will be joining Thornton and the rest of the cast in the West Texas oil drama? It's none other than Sam Elliott, who starred in Sheridan's Yellowstone prequel 1883.
There are no details as to what character Elliott may be portraying on the show, which follows the lives of both blue collar and white collar men and women in the West Texas gas and oil industry.
It's possible that Elliott could be playing Thornton's on-screen father, though they're just 11 years apart, but we'll have to wait and see.
This will be Elliott's second stint in a Taylor Sheridan series, following his portrayal of Shea Brennan in the first Yellowstone prequel 1883.
Brennan was a former Union Army captain who works for the Pinkerton Agency, leading a wagon train expedition westward.
His emotional portrayal of Brennan - fueled by the loss of the character's wife and daughter to smallpox - earned Elliott a Screen Actors Guild Award in 2023.
With production currently under way in Texas, it's possible the second season could eye a November debut like the first season, though no date has been revealed yet.
The show is set in the West Texas oil fields, following the fictional oil company M-TEX and landman Tommy Norris, who juggles both his wild job and his family.
When Tommy's not trying to control his ex Angela (Ali Larter) and daughter Ainsley (Michelle Randolph), he's trying to protect M-TEX's stake in a volatile landscape including drug cartels and rival oil companies.
This will be Elliott's second stint in a Taylor Sheridan series, following his portrayal of Shea Brennan in the first Yellowstone prequel 1883
Landman ranked as a top 10 streaming video on demand (SVOD) original series in the fourth quarter of 2024.
'The series had 35 million global streaming viewers for the premiere episode and set new several records for Paramount Plus.
It was the streaming service's most watched global premiere and finale in the streamer's history, and it was its top original show, engagement driver and household hit.
Elliott will next lend his voice to The Dragon in the upcoming film Grendel alongside Bryan Cranston, Dave Bautista and Jeff Bridges.

Rochelle Humes' 'perfect' summer shirt that's 'loose, light and cool'
The Next linen shirt is £46 and available in several colours and prints Rochelle Humes has been showcasing a stylish shirt over at Next, which is available in several colours and patterns. Linen shirts are a staple in the summer because they can be paired with almost everything, including denim cut-offs, jeans, shirts and dresses - or as a beach cover-up. Next's 100% Linen Button Down Relaxed Long Sleeve Shirt is £46 and comes in stone, white, navy, pink, striped ecru, brown stripes, pink stripes, black and a palm print option. It is ordered in sizes 6-22, with availability depending on which hue shoppers pick - there's also regular and petite lengths. Rochelle styles the stone-coloured shirt with a brown bikini top and denim cut-offs for a poolside-ready look. Linen is all over the high street this summer, and there are alternatives to Next's shirt. For brighter printed options, look to H&M, where this black botanical printed shirt is £37.99. The brand describes it as a 'loose-fit shirt in an airy linen', choose from sizes extra, extra small to extra, extra large. Meanwhile, M&S is selling a pure linen Oversized Girlfriend Style Shirt for £39.50. It comes in sizes 6-24. The model pairs it over a cream swimsuit for a holiday look. Next's linen shirt has stellar reviews and ratings from shoppers. One shopper who bought the linen shirt in white said: "This shirt is a perfect summer shirt—loose, light, and cool. As with most white linen, it is slightly see-through but definitely not too revealing. It's perfect for me worn open or buttoned over a cami top." Another added: "Lovely quality white linen shirt. Ideal for throwing on over a top and shorts or wearing with leggings or trousers. Versatile item, I should get plenty of wear out of." Prospective buyers who have never ordered anything online from Next can find reviews and ratings of its delivery service on Trustpilot. One reviewer commented: "Easy to order, swiftly delivered. Exactly what I ordered did arrive. Perfect." Another had issues with their delivery, saying: "Wouldn't confirm the name of the recipient for my order and delivered on a different day to what was requested." Back to the product reviews, a buyer of the linen shirt in navy said: "Really nice navy linen shirt with contrasting buttons. I normally wear a size 12 but this was far too big so I sized down to a 10 and this fits really nicely." The shopper did have a gripe with the length, adding: "A bit long in the arm but still worth it. Lovely colour. Good quality. Very happy."

Just as he leaves Earth's orbit, a call from President Trump sends his mission, as well as his mind, spiralling off-course. Lost in deep space, Musk - played by Ben Whitehead, the voice of Wallace from the Wallace & Gromit franchise - begins to experience sinister shifts in his relationship with M-UTHA who becomes more determined to take control of her creator. Pestered by a Fly he just can't kill and haunted by apparitions of iconic figures from astronomy and science fiction, including Sir Patrick Moore, Musk's paranoia escalates and a standoff between creator and creation follows where only one can survive… Confronting surveillance, misinformation, and authoritarianism in the modern age, a fresh adaptation of Orwell's 1984 fuses puppetry and storytelling.

Accompanying them are 26 scientific demonstrations ranging from squishy and squirty to floating and exploding, with props from a simple water bottle to balloons that explode in a ball of burning hydrogen, super cool liquid nitrogen that erupts into a massive cloud, and a leaf blower that covers the audience in Rice Krispies. With some experiments that kids can try at home, and even a few that adults might find useful in everyday life, The Alphabet of Awesome Science makes science fun, messy, and memorable 1984 Elon Musk: Lost in Space is a darkly comic sci-fi satire about one of the world's most famous men.

But as they dive deeper into the shiny world of multi-level marketing, they become caught up in climbing the cut-throat corporate ladder and cracks begin to appear in their pastel-perfect lives, unravelling long-buried tensions and unspoken desires as the lies they've built everything on start to catch up with them.
