In Landman‘s first 10 episodes, we get to know Tommy and his family. Landman‘s cast includes Tommy’s wife and daughter, Angela (Ali Larter) and Ainsley Norris (Michelle Randolph), who move in with Tommy amid the more harrowing events of Landman season 1. Things will get even wilder for Norris as he steps up to run M-TEX after Monty Miller’s death in Landman season 1’s finale. Landman season 2 has also added Sam  Elliott to the cast, and I think I know just what the iconic Western actor’s role will be after Tommy’s M-TEX promotion.

Sam Elliott’s Landman Character Could Be M-TEX’s New Landman: M-TEX Needs A New Landman After Tommy’s Big Promotion

Since Hamm’s Landman character, Monty Miller, died in Landman season 1’s finale, Thornton has said that Tommy will play a more significant role in Landman season 2 in the company’s operations, with Norris sometimes throwing a “sports jacket” over his oil patch clothes. While it’s almost impossible to imagine anyone else in Thornton’s role as landman, with Tommy stepping up to run the oil company’s more executive functions, M-TEX will need a new fixer to manage the day-to-day ground operations in Tommy’s place.
