Fans are freaking out – this could change EVERYTHING in West Texas!
Paramount+’s gritty oil drama Landman continues to deliver high-stakes tension in its second season, and the newly released trailer for Episode 7, titled “Forever Is an Instant,” has fans buzzing over a potential game-changer: Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy Norris appearing to reach his breaking point and considering quitting his role at M-Tex Oil.
The series, co-created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace and inspired by the Boomtown podcast, has built massive momentum since its Season 1 debut in late 2024. Season 2 premiered on November 16, 2025, with weekly episodes dropping Sundays on Paramount+, and has already been renewed for a third season amid record viewership numbers. The show follows Tommy Norris, a seasoned crisis manager turned reluctant president of M-Tex Oil, as he navigates brutal industry politics, family turmoil, and dangerous entanglements with cartel figures.
Episode 7 is set to premiere on December 28, 2025, at midnight PT/3 a.m. ET, continuing the season’s 10-episode run that concludes January 18, 2026. The official synopsis teases: “Tommy and Angela’s getaway turns chaotic; Cami’s plans face scrutiny.” Trailers and sneak peeks released by Paramount+ show escalating drama, with Tommy looking increasingly worn down amid mounting pressures.
Fan-made and official previews circulating on YouTube and social media have amplified speculation that Tommy might quit. Titles like “Landman Season 2 Episode 7 Trailer | Tommy Quits!” have racked up millions of views, editing clips to highlight moments of frustration, confrontations with Demi Moore’s Cami Miller, and hints of Tommy prioritizing family or independent ventures over corporate loyalty. While no official confirmation exists, recent episodes have laid groundwork for this possibility.
In Season 2, Tommy has been juggling immense responsibilities since stepping up as president following Monty Miller’s (Jon Hamm) death in the Season 1 finale. He’s dealt with risky offshore deals, cartel negotiations involving Andy Garcia’s Galino, and internal power struggles with Cami, who owns the company and has grown more assertive. Episode 6, “Dark Night of the Soul,” intensified these conflicts, revealing backstory that eroded trust between Tommy and Cami, while Tommy’s son Cooper (Jacob Lofland) launched his own drilling operation – potentially offering Tommy an exit ramp.
Sources indicate Tommy’s character arc explores burnout in the relentless oil world, where “survival in West Texas isn’t noble – it’s brutal,” as described in Season 2’s plot overview. Billy Bob Thornton has portrayed Tommy as a flawed everyman – brilliant under fire but burdened by debt, alcoholism, and family strains – making a potential resignation feel organic.
The returning ensemble includes Ali Larter as Tommy’s ex-wife Angela, Michelle Randolph as daughter Ainsley, Kayla Wallace as lawyer Rebecca Savage, James Jordan as roughneck Dale Bradley, and Colm Feore in a supporting role. New additions like Sam Elliott as Tommy’s estranged father T.L. “Pops” Norris have added layers of generational conflict, with Elliott’s gravelly presence clashing against Thornton’s hangdog resilience.
Taylor Sheridan’s signature style shines through: unflinching depictions of the Permian Basin’s boom-and-bust cycle, blending corporate intrigue with personal reckonings. The series draws from real oil industry dynamics, highlighting roughnecks’ dangers, billionaire maneuvering, and geopolitical ripples from energy production.
Viewership has surged, with Season 2’s premiere shattering Paramount+ records, up over 260% from Season 1 in some metrics. Critics praise Thornton’s performance – earning a Golden Globe nod – and the show’s authentic grit, though some note recurring Sheridan tropes like strong-but-flawed male leads and high-octane confrontations.
Episode 7’s trailer emphasizes chaos during Tommy and Angela’s attempted escape from daily grind, intercut with boardroom scrutiny of Cami’s decisions. Rebecca’s subplot involves a night with a new character, adding personal complications. Fan theories abound: Tommy could partner fully with Cooper for independence, confront Galino head-on, or face a health scare mirroring past stresses.
Production wrapped earlier in 2025 in Texas locations capturing the vast, unforgiving landscape. Executive producers include Sheridan, Thornton, and others from Imperative Entertainment and Texas Monthly. The soundtrack, featuring country and rock vibes, enhances the modern Western feel.
As the season barrels toward its finale, stakes feel higher than ever. Tommy’s potential departure would reshape M-Tex dynamics, possibly elevating Cami or introducing new leadership. With Season 3 already greenlit, creators have room to explore fallout.
Landman stands out in Sheridan’s portfolio alongside Yellowstone spin-offs, offering a fresh lens on American energy without shying from controversies like environmental impacts or labor risks. Episodes average 50 minutes, packed with dialogue-driven tension and occasional explosive action.
Fans can stream Seasons 1 and 2 on Paramount+, with Episode 7 arriving just after the holidays. Whether Tommy quits remains a cliffhanger, but the trailer ensures viewers will tune in to find out if West Texas claims another casualty.
