Other stars include Demi Moore, Ali Larter, Michelle Randolph, and Jon Hamm (whose character likely died at the end of Season 1).
It was recently confirmed that Landman was renewed for a second season on Paramount+. The second season may also feature Sam Elliott in a new role.
Elliott famously played Shea Brennan in Sheridan’s 1883 and won a Screen Actor’s Guild Award for his performance.
He thanked Sheridan in his speech, saying:
“Thank you Taylor Sheridan for your brilliant script, and David Glasser, and everyone else at 101. Thank you to Paramount, thank you to my team, and thank you to my wife, my beautiful Katharine, my partner through thick and thin, and the mother of our beautiful daughter. Thank you ladies and gentlemen.“
What Do We Know About Elliott’s Potential Involvement In Another Sheridan Series?
Matthew Belloni from Puck recently published a report that Elliott will soon join the cast of Landman. Belloni writes:
“I’m told ‘Landman’ is also adding Sam Elliott as a main character for season two. His scenes with Billy Bob Thornton should be fun.“
Belloni did not share any additional details about Elliott’s Landman character.
The idea that Elliott may join another Sheridan series isn’t far-fetched. Sheridan often casts actors he’s previously worked with on other projects. For example, Michelle Randolph plays Ainsley in Landman and plays Elizabeth in another Yellowstone prequel, 1923.
Also, Landman lead Billy Bob Thornton previously appeared in an episode of 1883, playing Marshal Jim Courtright.
