Will ‘Landman’ be back for a second season?

The Paramount hit is facing an uncertain future.

The future of Landman is, somewhat mystifyingly, a little uncertain. The show has yet to be renewed for a second season, which is probably a surprise to anyone who enjoyed the first. The first season definitely doesn’t resolve all of the ongoing plot threads of the show, and it was also a massive success for Paramount. Given that context, it seems like an obvious decision for Paramount to renew the show, but they haven’t done so yet.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, star Billy Bob Thornton shared what he knew about the potential for a second season. “I understand that if we’re going to do that, Season 2, that it’s going to be sometime around February, March, somewhere in there. I mean, we’ll see. It just depends on how the chips may fall. You never know in this business,” he said.

Demi Moore, who plays Cami on the series, also suggested that the show’s second season could film sometime in early 2025.

“I thought we looked really good,” The Substance actress said of her and her onscreen husband Jon Hamm in an interview with Deadline. “[Hamm] was lovely and I’ve known Billy Bob Thornton for a long time. I’ve already completed the first season and I’m excited for us to start the second which will be at the beginning of next year.”

Given the high profile cast that was assembled for the series, scheduling could play some role in the difficulty of getting the band back together. It seems like several of the show’s stars think they’ll be back for more, though, even if Paramount has yet to confirm that.

The 6 best Super Bowl commercials of all time (and the 5 worst)
What's your favorite Super Bowl commercial?
Watching the Super Bowl on TV

If you're watching the Super Bowl, you're likely interested in at least one of at least three different things. You might be watching for the game itself, which is often exciting and is the culmination of months of football. You might be watching for the halftime show, which also varies in quality but is always worth discussing. Or, you might be watching for the Super Bowl commercials (you could also just be hanging around for the food).

Personally, it's some mixture of all three for me. The ads are definitely a draw, though, and it can sometimes be just as entertaining to see a massive campaign crash and blur in real time, as it is to see something brilliant.

Even if you've picked a streaming service, it can be impossible to narrow down what you're really looking for. If you've run out of the best Netflix movies and Netflix Original series to watch, you'll need to find somewhere else to turn. Fortunately, Netflix is far from the only game in town. Anyone who uses Amazon Prime to get packages delivered to them quickly also has access to a library of fairly impressive shows and movies.

Amazon is a mega corporation, and you and I both know that it might not care that much about its streaming offerings. It's not it makes its money, or at least most of it. Even still, I was shocked at how many great shows you can watch on Prime, including some you might not expect.
