Whispers Become Louder: Casting Calls and Actor Hints Suggest Landman Season 2 is Gearing Up
For a while there it was radio silence after Landman Season 1 wrapped up back in January. No official word on a renewal from Paramount+ nada. But hold your horses folks because things are starting to look promising. The buzz is building and it seems like Landman might just be drilling back into our screens for another season.
Here is the deal some eagle-eyed fans and local news outlets in Texas have spotted some interesting signs. Casting notices have popped up looking for extras in the Fort Worth area for "Landman Season 2". Yep you read that right SEASON 2. Now this is not an official announcement with confetti cannons but it is definitely a strong hint. The first season filmed around Fort Worth too so location checks out.
These casting calls are looking for all sorts of folks including even a baby to play the on-screen son of Ariana (Paulina Chavez's character). They are also searching for stand-in actors for the main cast. All this points to pre-production for a new season being very much underway.

Let's be real Landman was a hit for Paramount+. Season 1 drew in some serious numbers. The premiere episode alone grabbed over 5 million viewers on Paramount+. In its first month it racked up nearly 15 million viewers becoming a record-breaker for the streaming service. Those are not numbers you just ignore.
Plus critics and fans seemed to dig it. Sure Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone might be ending in a bit of a messy way but Landman showed he still has that storytelling magic. Even Stephen King of all people admitted to liking Landman even though he felt like he "shouldn't". High praise indeed.
