Paramount+ today debuted the final trailer and key art for the second season of Taylor Sheridan’s hit series, LANDMAN, which will premiere on Sunday, November 16, 2025, exclusively on the service globally, with Japan to follow at a later date. Watch the season two final trailer HERE:

Co-created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, LANDMAN stars Oscar® winner Billy Bob Thornton, Oscar nominee Demi Moore, Oscar nominee Andy Garcia, Oscar nominee Sam Elliott, Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, Canadian Kayla Wallace, Mark Collie, James Jordan and Canadian Colm Feore.

Set in the boomtowns of West Texas, LANDMAN is a modern tale of fortune seeking amongst roughnecks and wildcat billionaires – fueling an oil boom so big it’s reshaping the climate, the economy and geopolitics.

In season two, as oil rises from the earth, so do secrets – and Tommy Norris’s (Thornton) breaking point may be closer than he realizes. Facing mounting pressure from M-Tex Oil, Cami Miller (Moore), and the shadow of his kin, survival in West Texas isn’t noble – it’s brutal. And sooner or later something’s got to break.

LANDMAN is executive produced by Taylor Sheridan, David C. Glasser, David Hutkin, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, Christian Wallace, Billy Bob Thornton, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Friedman and Stephen Kay. Dan Friedkin and Jason Hoch for Imperative Entertainment, and J.K. Nickell and Megan Creydt for Texas Monthly also executive produce. Tommy Turtle serves as co-executive producer.

The series is produced by Paramount Television Studios, 101 Studios and Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch Productions. LANDMAN is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.

Season one is available to stream exclusively on Paramount+.

STRANGER THINGS 5 SYNOPSIS:
The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.

ABOUT STRANGER THINGS:
A love letter to the ’80s classic genre films that captivated a generation, Stranger Things is a thrilling drama set in the seemingly normal Midwestern town of Hawkins, Indiana. After a boy vanishes into thin air, his close-knit group of friends and family search for answers and are pulled into a high-stakes and deadly series of events. Beneath the surface of their ordinary town lurks an extraordinary supernatural mystery, along with top-secret government experiments and a dangerous gateway that connects our world to a powerful yet sinister realm. Friendships will be tested and lives will be altered as what they discover will change Hawkins and possibly the world — forever.

Created by The Duffer Brothers, Stranger Things debuted in 2016 and quickly became one of Netflix’s most popular television series ever, with its fourth season alone amassing over 140.7M views globally. Rooted in ‘80s nostalgia, it boosted Kate Bush’s track “Running Up That Hill” into the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the first time in its 38-year history. The series has also garnered over 70 awards worldwide including Emmys® and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series, and has been nominated for over 230 awards. The highly anticipated fifth and final season will release later this year in three volumes at 5 p.m. PT: four episodes on November 26, three episodes on Christmas, and The Finale on New Year’s Eve.

The beloved franchise offers fans various ways to engage with the cultural phenomenon year-round, including: the Olivier and Tony-award winning stage play, Stranger Things: The First Shadow; a collection of books that takes fans deeper into the story; the touring Stranger Things Experience, which recently expanded to Brazil and Australia; Stranger Things: Escape the Dark; a brand-new immersive experience set to open at Netflix House later this year; Stranger Things: Tales From ‘85, an animated series will take fans back to Hawkins; fans celebrate November 6 — the day Will Byers went missing — as Stranger Things Day; and they can follow @StrangerThingsThings for fun ways to bring the world into their everyday lives.
