Landman has previously killed off a main character in a season finale - but is Sam Elliott's character next? The second season, which premiered in November 2025, introduced Tommy's (Billy Bob Thornton) dad, T.L. (Sam Elliott), who was originally staying in an assisted living facility and dealing with several health issues. His path crossed with Tommy's again when T.L. ultimately moved into Tommy's house. Since making the switch, viewers have spent more time with T.L., who sometimes uses a wheelchair due to issues with his knees and hip.
