Elliott’s role in ‘Landman’ season 2

Not much is known about Elliott’s role in “Landman” season 2, beyond him being a series regular on the Paramount+ show.

His casting was previously mentioned by Thornton a few weeks ago and was officially confirmed by Paramount last week. The oil drama has been filming in and around Fort Worth since late March.

“Landman” is Elliott’s second project with both Thornton and Taylor Sheridan, after the trio worked on “Yellowstone” prequel “1883” together. Elliott won a Screen Actors Guild Award for his role as Civil War veteran Shea Brennan.
