Landman season 2 episode 5, titled “The Pirate Dinner,” delivers another gripping hour of drama as the series continues to raise the stakes in the oil-soaked world of West Texas. Paramount+ has released new episodic images from the latest chapter of the explosive Taylor Sheridan drama.

In this installment, Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) is pulled in multiple directions as he juggles escalating crises, both on the job and at home. While the pressure mounts on all fronts, Angela (Ali Larter) hosts a lively dinner intended to welcome T.L. (Sam Elliott)—but the evening quickly becomes far more tense and revealing than anyone anticipates.
