[This story contains major spoilers from the Landman season two finale, “Tragedy and Flies.”] Jacob Lofland was thrilled with the season two ending to Landman. “I’m ready to get back with everybody on set,” he excitedly tells The Hollywood Reporter about returning to Texas to film the next era of the Paramount+ mega-hit oil drama. Production on the already renewed third season will pick up in the spring. So for now, Lofland, who plays Cooper Norris, is anxiously awaiting to see what writer and co-creator Taylor Sheridan will dream up for the Norris family. The second season ended on a hopeful note with Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) launching a new, independently run oil company called CTT Oil Exploration & Cattle and bringing his family and inner crew along for the hopefully lucrative ride. But the threat from cartel boss Gallino (Andy Garcia) hangs over the excitement — Tommy made a deal with the devil to launch CTT Oil, and if things go badly, Gallino will come after what Tommy loves most, which is his family. “The …

[This story contains MAJOR spoilers from the Landman season two finale, “Tragedy and Flies.”] Once again, Landman ended its season with a scene between Billy Bob Thornton and a coyote. This time, however, the future is looking very different for Thornton’s Tommy Norris and his family, now that he’s going off on his own to start CTT Oil Exploration (and Cattle), an oil company named after and led by his family, and inner crew, after making a dangerous deal with cartel boss Gallino (Andy Garcia). “I love the metaphor of the coyote,” Thornton tells The Hollywood Reporter about the ending to co-creators Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace‘s mega-hit Paramount+ oil drama. “In that final scene, Tommy was thinking, ‘I know you’re there. I know I’m gonna deal with you tomorrow. But tonight, I’m taking a vacation. This is my night.’ I think there was a little defiance and yet still uneasiness.” Thornton has been open about his long-term hopes for Landman. The West Texas-set oil drama also starring Ali Larter, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, Sam …

Cooper arrived after the man had beaten Ariana nearly unconscious and as he was removing her clothes in an attempt to rape her. Cooper launched onto the man and severely beat him until Ariana’s boss arrived. The episode ended by showing that a security camera was capturing the incident in the alley, and the police had been called. “This season, there were some twists and turns that you did not see coming. I tried to predict every bit of it before we read it, and some of it blew me off of feet. I was like, ‘I did …

Billy Bob Thornton is putting his trust into Taylor Sheridan, regardless of where his career goes.
