Season 2 Finale Recap
Warning: Spoilers ahead for season 2 of "Landman." The season 2 finale ended with a new beginning for the Norris family. After being fired from his longtime position at M-Tex Oil, Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) decided to go into business for himself with the financial backing of cartel boss Gallino (Andy Garcia). During the last moments of the season finale, Tommy presented the business plan to his family, closest colleagues, and even his father T.L.’s (Elliott) new unlicensed physical therapist Cheyenne (Francesca Xuereb), who also happens to be a stripper. The group agreed to the new venture, with Cooper (Jacob Lofland) named as President, T.L. overseeing drilling, and Ariana (Paulina Chavez) offered an office manager position.
The Future of the Norris Family
Although the episode ended on a celebratory note, things never stay rosy for long on "Landman." After all, Gallino vowed to destroy everything Tommy cares about if their deal goes wrong. This threat has left fans wondering what the future holds for the Norris family and their new oil company. Jacob Lofland, who plays Cooper, has expressed his concerns about the potential consequences of the deal, stating that "Cooper kind of failed upwards and it wound up working out for everybody. It could be a great help or a real problem." With the cartel boss involved, it’s likely that the family will face significant challenges in the upcoming season.
