Landman Season 3 Puts Cooper in Charge of Tommy’s New Oil Business
At the end of Landman’s second season, Tommy Norris started his own oil company after breaking away from the company that had employed him.
He named his son Cooper president of the new family-run business, while other relatives and friends took on staff and board roles.
Tommy, played by Billy Bob Thornton, is set to take a less hands-on role as Cooper becomes the landman.
The change brings Tommy’s family life and oil business together, unlike the first two seasons, which kept them largely separate.
Tommy and Cooper have had a difficult relationship, though both have made efforts to repair it.
Working together could deepen their family rift as well as give them a chance to combine their experience and ideas.
The new company and Cooper’s leadership are expected to shape the show’s third season.
