Landman Season 2 Ending Explained: Who Died? Will Demi Moore return?
Taylor Sheridan‘S Husbandman introduced a big death, a possible cast exit and more – but what questions still need answers in season 3?
During the season 2 finale on Sunday, January 18, Cooper (Jacob Lofland) convinced Ariana (Paulina Chavez) to report her assault to the police. This led to Cooper being questioned after it emerged the man died of a heart attack while being taken to hospital.
Once Cooper’s father, Tommy (Billy Bob Thornton), got wind of the situation, he made sure his son wouldn’t be charged. With help from Rebecca (Kayla Wallace), Tommy was able to prevent authorities from arresting Cooper.
Tommy also had to deal with the aftermath of being fired by Cami (Demi Moore) by setting up his own oil company. He got all his former colleagues – and family – on board through Cooper, Ariana, Rebecca, Dale (James Jordan), TL (Sam Elliott), Nathan (Colm Feore), Boss (Mustafa speaks), King (Dougie Hall) and Cheyenne (Francesca Xuereb).
Before starting his own company, Tommy received an investment from Gallino (Andy Garcia) after questioning his drug cartel connections earlier this season. There was also Ainsley (Michelle Randolph) was seen wrestling with the college cheerleading team – while simultaneously befriending her former roommate, whom she decided to move back in with at the end of finals.
Inspired by the podcast series ‘Boomtown’, Husbandman is focused on the oil industry in West Texas, with a specific focus on crisis manager Tommy Norris and his family. Season 2, which premiered in October, broke viewership records for Paramount+ by racking up more than 9.2 million streaming views for the premiere episode in its first two days of airing. Views increased from the first season premiere, making it the most-watched premiere of any original series for Paramount+.
Executive producer Christian Wallace teased what fans can expect when the show returns.
“I can’t say much about what’s going to happen,” he said TVLine about Cami’s future on the show. “All I can say is, I think it opens up so many new opportunities for these characters, and opportunities for a different dynamic between the characters’ relationships with each other and their relationship with ambition.”
The biggest change for Tommy is that CTT Oil Exploration & Cattle is “starting from the ground up” instead of “being in this turnkey, established company.”
“They’re basically starting from scratch, and I think that’s exciting,” Wallace said, explaining Tommy’s role as senior vice president. “You can see how sad Tommy is because he has to get on a private jet all the time.”

Wallace continued: “Many of us may be excited by the prospect of this more glamorous lifestyle, but Tommy really thrives when he’s on the shop floor, in the field with his hands and really doing more of the day-to-day work. This gives him the opportunity to hone in on some of the things he enjoys most about this very difficult job.”
Thornton also weighed in on the new normal in Season 3.
“I’m not sure Tommy ever trusts luck,” the actor explained. “He feels like he’s got the old gang back together. He feels like he’s got the family together and he can finally breathe a little easier, because you have the freedom to do it yourself. That’s probably the most satisfaction he gets from this. It’s like, ‘You know what? We can win, we can lose. But somehow it’s our own thing and we can do it the way we want to do it.'”
Husbandman is currently streaming on Paramount+.
