Landman Season 2 Episode 1 “Death and a Sunset”

Landman Season 2 Episode 1, titled “Death and a Sunset,” marks the powerful return of Taylor Sheridan’s gritty West Texas oil drama. With new tensions, deepening rivalries, and secrets rising as fast as the oil itself, the second season sets the stage for a brutal, emotionally charged chapter in Tommy Norris’s story. The premiere introduces heightened stakes, simmering conflicts, and a shifting power landscape that threatens to erupt across every corner of West Texas.

In the premiere episode, Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) finds himself navigating increasingly volatile terrain as Cami Miller (Demi Moore) asserts her growing control. With M-Tex Oil tightening its grip and old family shadows creeping closer, Tommy’s fragile alliances begin to crack. Every decision becomes a gamble, and every mistake could be fatal — not just professionally, but personally. As the pressure mounts, Tommy is forced to confront the possibility that he is nearing his breaking point.

Cami’s rise creates an entirely new dynamic this season. Her blend of ambition, intelligence, and emotional complexity makes her one of the most formidable characters in the Landman universe. In “Death and a Sunset,” she steps more boldly into power, reshaping the political, economic, and interpersonal landscape around her. For Tommy, whose past is filled with ghosts and regrets, Cami is both a threat and a reminder of how quickly fortunes shift in boomtown country.

Season 2 expands the scope of the series even further, digging deeper into the high-stakes oil industry, corruption, and the dangerous pursuit of wealth in the West Texas energy fields. As oil rises from the ground, so do buried truths — and the consequences will resonate through every character, every partnership, and every piece of land being fought over. Sheridan’s signature world-building brings sharp authenticity to the greed, desperation, and ruthless ambition driving this world.
