FORT WORTH, Texas — Billy Bob Thornton hit a gusher in November playing hard-living, Big Oil crisis manager Tommy Norris in "Landman," Paramount+ says nearly 15 million people watched the series within four four weeks of its debut.
"Yellowstone" creator Taylor Sheridan's upstairs-downstairs oil drama ended Season 1 with onscreen heartache and the death of charismatic M-Tex Oil CEO Monty Miller (Jon Hamm). With Hamm ending his run, Thornton, 70, harnesses star-power reinforcements for Season 2 (premiering Nov. 16) as these exclusive first look photos show.
Western legend Sam Elliott joins the cast as the character called T.L., while Demi Moore and Andy Garcia will have bigger roles in Season 2.

Elliott, 81, has already blazed an epic trail in the Sheridan universe as Shea Brennan, the grizzled wagon‑train leader in the 2021 “Yellowstone” prequel “1883.” Thornton and Elliott share credits in "1883" and 1993 Western film “Tombstone."
