Is Billy Bob Thornton done with Landman? Reports are circulating that Thornton could be leaving “Landman” after two seasons.
What a week it’s been for both “Landman” Tommy Norris and the actor who portrays the tough-talking oil man on the Paramount+ series, Billy Bob Thornton. In the Jan. 11 episode, Norris was abruptly fired from his job as president of M-Tex Oil by company owner Cami Miller (Demi Moore). Shocking, of course. But the fictional storyline somehow worked its way into real life, with reports circulating that Thornton could be leaving “Landman” after two seasons. Oscar-winner Thornton, 70, calls the basis for the reports, “AI-generated crap.” They’re not true, no matter what happens in the “Landman” Jan. 18 finale on Paramount+.
“There’s an AI report that Demi and I are a couple now, and there’s one that I’m leaving the show,” says Thornton. “They have nothing to do with reality.” With Season 3 scheduled to begin shooting in the spring, Thornton vows, “I’ll be there.”
