It’s Officially The End of an Era for Landman

by

The season finale of Landman brought a major turning point for the series, giving Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) a chance to start over and effectively ending a significant chapter. After being unfairly fired by Cami Miller (Demi Moore), the widow of Monty, Tommy spent the finale exploring new possibilities for himself and his family. This bold move by Taylor Sheridan’s Paramount+ drama sets the stage for a new direction in future seasons.

Tommy faced even more trouble in the season finale. After his son, Cooper, rescued Ariana from a racist attacker, Tommy knew he’d face legal consequences for his actions. As he planned his next move in the intense finale of Landman, he realized it involved a significant gamble.

It’s the End of an Era for Landman After Tommy’s Huge Decision

The season finale of Landman showed Tommy Norris launching a new company thanks to a surprising partnership. After convincing his former rival, Gallino (Andy Garcia), to fund his plan, Tommy secured a $44 million loan to drill wells owned by Cooper. This new venture allows Tommy to capitalize on Cooper’s oil discoveries, which are separate from his work with M-Tex, and fulfills a previous agreement.

A new agreement enabled Tommy to establish “CTT Oil Exploration and Cattle, LLC,” a company named after himself, his father T.L., and Cooper. Nate suggested including “Cattle” in the name to expedite the LLC’s formation. This new venture signals a major shift for the Paramount+ series Landman, effectively concluding the storyline centered around the M-Tex oil boom that drove the first two seasons.

This change means Tommy is finally taking control and breaking free from those who used to tell him what to do – especially Cami, who clearly doesn’t understand the oil business in Texas. It also puts to rest rumors that Billy Bob Thornton is leaving Landman; in fact, this new venture ensures he’ll continue to be a major part of the show going forward.

 

Tommy’s new business is run entirely by his family and former colleagues from MTex – people he knows and trusts completely.

Tommy, as the owner, not only managed the overall operation but also assigned important roles to key team members. Cooper will be president, Rebecca will handle operations and legal matters, Dale and Boss will lead the team’s field work, and T.L. will remotely manage the drilling. Ariana was offered the position of secretary. As an added benefit, Tommy and his team will share 25% of the company’s profits.

Tommy leaving M-Tex actually worked out well for him, allowing him to make a smart decision when things were difficult. But there’s a downside to his good fortune.

Tommy’s New Venture Has a Hidden Dark Twist 

Tommy is taking a big risk by starting his new company, especially because he’s partnering with Galino, a ruthless cartel leader known for violence – as seen in the season finale of Landman.

The agreement with Galino includes serious repercussions if Tommy’s investment fails. Galino warned him this failure would put everything he cares about at risk – potentially making his family and friends targets in Season 3 of Landman. This creates a high-stakes situation, as Tommy could lose everything – his business and all his relationships – if he doesn’t meet Galino’s expectations.

Tommy achieved some freedom by breaking away from the typical patterns of the oil industry, but this new independence comes with risk. He constantly has to anticipate Galino’s next move, as he doesn’t know when his old rival might turn against him.

The season finale of Landman clearly showed that Tommy is a formidable opponent, and he’s fiercely protective of his loved ones, willing to go to any lengths to keep them safe.
