The cowboy is back — but this time, he’s trading his horse for a wheelchair and a storm of emotions. Legendary actor Sam Elliott is making his grand return to the Yellowstone universe in Landman Season 2, joining the cast as T.L., the tough, tormented father of Billy Bob Thornton’s character, Tommy Norris. Personally handpicked by creator Taylor Sheridan, Elliott’s new role promises a blend of grit, regret, and raw emotion that only he can deliver. Fans are already buzzing after hearing T.L. mutter, “I wasted 60 years on hope.” The tension between father and son runs deep — and in Sheridan’s world, that means sparks are guaranteed to fly. Premiering November 16 on Paramount+, Landman Season 2 is set to dig deeper into Texas oil, family scars, and the kind of Western soul-searching that made Elliott a legend.
