New York, Jan. 19 (UPI) -- Season 2 of Landman ended with the hint of a brighter future for the Paramount+ western's kindest character, Cooper Norris, played by Justified and Maze Runner alum Jacob Lofland.
Spoilers ahead.
The penultimate episode of Taylor Sheridan's Texas-set drama shows Cooper and his fiancee Ariana (Paulina Chavez) briefly enjoying their recent engagement before a disgruntled customer from the bar where Ariana works beat her up and tries to rape her, prompting Cooper to kill him and, for much of the season finale, fear he might face a murder rap.
Fortunately, Rebecca (Kayla Wallace), the lawyer for his dad's oil company, M-Tex, convinces the authorities not to charge Cooper for defending the young woman.
The episode ends with Cooper's father Tommy (Billy Bob Thornton) announcing he was fired from M-Tex and has created a new company that Cooper will be the president of and for which Rebecca will serve as in-house legal counsel.
