Surprise! Sam Elliott’s Character in ‘Landman’ Finally Revealed
Taylor Sheridan is bringing another Western legend into the Landman universe, and this time, it’s none other than Sam Elliott.
Ali Larter, who plays powerhouse Angela Norris in the Paramount+ series, shared a behind-the-scenes photo over the weekend, confirming Elliott’s involvement in Season 2. The shot shows Larter, Elliott, and Michelle Randolph (who plays Angela’s daughter, Ainsley) looking every bit the tight-knit trio. The caption? “Just three crows cackling.”
We may not know exactly who Elliott’s playing just yet—but the mustache is back, and so is the swagger.
A Sheridan Reunion Worth Watching
Landman marks a reunion between Sam Elliott, Billy Bob Thornton, and Taylor Sheridan—the same trio behind the critically acclaimed 1883, where Elliott stole the screen as grizzled Civil War vet Shea Brennan. That role earned him a SAG Award and serious fan love
Now, with Landman gearing up for a bigger, deeper second season, Sheridan is once again bringing in heavy hitters. And when you cast Sam Elliott, you know he’s not just there to pass through—he’s there to shape the story.
So Who Could He Be Playing? Let’s Speculate…
Since the character details are still tightly under wraps, let’s break down a few theories based on the cast dynamics and what we’ve seen so far:
1. Angela’s Father
Ali Larter plays Angela Norris with serious matriarch energy. Could Elliott be stepping in as her tough-as-nails father? Maybe a former oilman himself—retired but still influential, with old-school views that clash with today’s boomtown ethics?
2. Tommy’s Dad
It’s no secret that Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy Norris doesn’t exactly do things by the book. What if Elliott plays his estranged father—returning to challenge his methods or clean up a mess only family can fix?
3. An Oil Legend from the Past
Elliott could be playing a retired industry titan—someone the new generation of landmen either revere or fear. Think: a ghost from the old oil fields with a long memory and unfinished business.
4. A Town Elder With Secrets
Sheridan loves writing roles with moral complexity. Maybe Elliott’s character is a respected local figure—on the surface. But as the story unfolds, we find out he’s been hiding something that could bring everything crashing down.
What We Know for Sure
One thing is certain: Sam Elliott brings gravitas to every scene he’s in. Whether he’s offering wisdom, issuing warnings, or just sitting silently with that signature stare, he commands attention. With Elliott joining a cast that already includes Larter, Randolph, and Thornton, Landman Season 2 is shaping up to be one of Sheridan’s most star-studded chapters yet.
Stay tuned—because when Taylor Sheridan and Sam Elliott team up, you know the West is about to get even wilder.
