"It Deals With the Relationships": 'Landman's Billy Bob Thornton Teases Season 2 of Taylor Sheridan's Latest Hit

In Landman, the dust never settles — especially for Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy Norris. As the oil-soaked drama barrels into production on Season 2, Thornton is reflecting on what makes Taylor Sheridan’s latest series so compelling, and why audiences keep coming back for more. In a new interview with Awards Radar, the Sling Blade star opened up about what attracted him to the role, how his character straddles the line between chaos and control, and why this new season is putting relationships front and center. Landman, which follows the big money world of oil tycoons, field workers, and corporate fixers in West Texas, quickly became another huge hit in the ever-expanding Sheridanverse. Thornton, who plays crisis manager Tommy Norris, said the success still feels a bit surreal.
