New Faces and Familiar Stories: What's Coming in Landman's Second Season?

USAFri Jun 27 2025
Landman is gearing up for its second season, and it's bringing some fresh faces along with it. Stefania Spampinato, known to many as Dr. Carina DeLuca-Bishop from Grey's Anatomy, is joining the cast. She'll be playing the wife of Andy Garcia's character, Gallino, a drug cartel kingpin. This addition hints that Garcia's character will stick around, which is great news for fans who enjoyed his brief appearance in the first season. The show is set to air in November, and there's already some buzz about what's in store. In the final episode of Season 1, Gallino saves Billy Bob Thornton's character, Tommy Norris, and they reach an uneasy agreement. It's clear that the cartel will be a big part of the story moving forward, and Norris' oil company will have to deal with the consequences. Deadline broke the news about Spampinato's new role. It's not the only big change coming to the cast. Jon Hamm's character, Monty, won't be returning for Season 2. Thornton's character will take on many of Monty's roles. Sam Elliott is also confirmed to appear in Season 2, although details about his role are still under wraps. He previously worked with Thornton on the show 1883, where Thornton had a small but promoted role. Demi Moore, who played a small role in Season 1, is expected to have a bigger part this time around, especially since her on-screen husband Monty is no longer in the picture. The rest of the main cast includes Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, and Kayla Wallace. The Dutton Rules podcast team will be covering the show extensively as new episodes come out.
