This season promises to delve into explosive family dynamics and shifting alliances that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats.
Elliott joins the show as T.L., the estranged father of Billy Bob Thornton‘s character, Tommy Norris. His character is wheelchair-bound, adding emotional depth to the already turbulent family saga. The impact of his arrival will be profound, reshaping Tommy’s world and stirring unresolved tensions that stem from the recent death of Monty, played by Jon Hamm.

The death of Monty plays a critical role in the unfolding narrative, as it pushes the plot forward and introduces new alliances and potential betrayals. Demi Moore, who takes on the role of Monty’s widow, Cami, is expected to emerge as a pivotal figure, navigating the chaos left in the wake of her husband’s demise. The dynamics between characters will shift dramatically, particularly between Tommy and Sheriff Joeberg, portrayed by Mark Collie, as they confront new challenges.
The narrative intertwines personal struggles with the high-stakes world of the oil industry, highlighting the emotional toll on each character. Mustafa Speaks, who plays Theodore Boss Ramone, emphasized that everyone must adapt to their new roles and responsibilities amid the chaos.
Beyond family conflicts, ‘Landman’ explores the evolving relationships of its characters. Cooper’s budding romance with Ariana, played by Paulina Chávez, adds another layer of intrigue.
