Landman Season 2 Episode 1 cast and characters: Here's who brought the Paramount+ drama to life

Paramount+'s Landman Season 2 is here. The Texas oil drama is raising the stakes with the season's premiere episode. It is brutal, ambitious, and merciless.

Episode 1, titled 'Death and a Sunset,' plunges the viewers back to the oil wars, and it ends with a personal loss that leaves Tommy shaken. After the seismic shift of Monty Miller's death, the stakes now sit squarely in the hands of Tommy Norris and Monty's wife, Cami Miller. The episode also introduces us to a new character, and that's none other than Tommy's estranged father, T.L., played by Sam Elliot.

Here's the full cast list for Landman Season 2 Episode 1

Landman Season 2 Episode 1 cast

Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris (Returning)

Billy Bob Thornton anchors the series as Tommy Norris, the sharp-tongued petroleum landman who is now the President at M-Tex Oil after the death of founder Monty Miller. Thornton continues to play Tommy with grizzled charm and a weary sense of duty, a man who understands the dirty dealings beneath the oil fields better than any shareholder.

Thornton plays the role with equal parts grit, humor, and resilience, shaping Tommy as one of the layered characters of Tommy Sheridan's television universe. In Season 2 Episode 1, he takes Cami's side in front of the investors and later makes her understand the dangers of the business.

Demi Moore as Cami Miller (Returning)

Demi Moore returns as Cami Miller, now the top stakeholder of M-Tex Oil, following her husband Monty's death. In Landman Season 2 Episode 1, she proves that she isn't a submissive spouse; she is here to take over and lead. Cami is unapologetic and confident. She might not be groomed for this position, but it seems like she is here to rule. For now, her dynamic with Tommy hints at a partnership.

Ali Larter as Angela Norris (Returning)

Ali Larter reprises her role as Angela, Tommy's ex-wife and current rekindled flame. In Landman Season 2 Episode 1, she finds herself back in Tommy's home and at the centre of the family chaos. Her dinner table meltdown shows that the emotional stakes in the family are still volatile.

Jacob Lofland as Cooper Norris (Returning)

Jacob Lofland returns as Cooper Norris, who appears as one of the premiere's standout figures. No longer hovering at the edges of the story, Cooper makes a bold leap into the oil business; he strikes quite well ($10 M/year) on his first major venture.

Lofland plays him with youthful confidence. His narrative introduces fresh tension around legacy, wealth, identity, and his relationship with Ariana adds emotional grounding to the otherwise gritty series.

Paulina Chávez is back as Ariana, now living with Cooper and navigating her life as she tries to rebuild it. She serves as Cooper's anchor. Her scenes reveal tenderness, patience, and emotional counterweight to the Norris family's constant volatility.
