Landman Season 2 is set in the West Texas Permian Basin. It was filmed almost entirely in North Texas, ranging from Fort Worth's downtown towers to a church parking lot in Springtown and a county road between Weatherford and Cresson. That gap between "where the show is set" and "where it was actually made" is the whole Texas incentive story in miniature.
Season 2 premiered November 16, 2025 on Paramount+ and wrapped its 10-episode run January 18, 2026. Created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace (adapted from Wallace's 2019 podcast Boomtown), starring Billy Bob Thornton as crisis manager Tommy Norris — with Jon Hamm's widow Demi Moore running his empire, Sam Elliott joining full-time as Tommy's estranged father, and the whole thing escalating into cartel territory.
Here's the complete location breakdown, street by street.
Fort Worth (Core Hub)
SGS Studios — Alliance, North Fort Worth The production anchor. Sheridan's 450,000 sq ft campus — two buildings — housed the main stages, standing sets, wardrobe, mill, and base camp. Principal photography for Season 2 began here in March 2025. The studio's first major production.
Downtown Fort Worth / Frost Tower (640 Taylor St.) Corporate interiors — Monty's high-rise suite, deal-making offices. The show's power center plays in real downtown Fort Worth.
Worthington Hotel / 61 Osteria Restaurant Downtown luxury for power lunches and meetings. Both are real Fort Worth landmarks used essentially as-is.
TCU Campus Ainsley Norris (Michelle Randolph) is a TCU track star. The campus appeared in the Season 2 premiere — track meets, parties with purple balloons. TCU is TCU; no location dressing needed.
Fort Worth Stockyards (East Exchange Avenue) Cattle drive footage used to bookend episodes. The Stockyards are one of Fort Worth's most visually distinct locations and they read as Texas in a way no other city can replicate.
Will Rogers Memorial Center (3401 W. Lancaster Ave.) Stood in for Midland event venues — bar fights, gatherings. The Cowboy Sales sign featured in trailers.
River Crest Country Club Fairways and mansion exteriors for elite scenes. An 8,200 sq ft residential stand-in at 4400 Overton Crest St. served as Monty's sprawling home for party scenes.
Patch Cafe (9840 Camp Bowie West Blvd.) A west Fort Worth diner standing in as a roughneck hangout. Ariana's workplace. Locals reportedly spotted Thornton eating here during breaks.
North Texas Periphery
Jacksboro (60 miles NW of Fort Worth) The most-used outlying location:
- Jacksboro Police Station → transformed into Odessa PD for crime scenes; Highway 380 closed for night shoots
- Faith Community Hospital → returned from Season 1 for a funeral sequence (April 2025)
- OYO Hotel (824 S. Main St.) → used for Ainsley's scenes in Episode 2
Benbrook (1103 Park Center St.) Ariana's modest home — a Midland proxy. Residential character scenes.
Weatherford / Hilltop Park Rehabilitation Center Exterior for nursing home visits.
Between Weatherford and Cresson — Man Camp Set Southwest of Fort Worth: trailers, trucks, and overnight rig setup. The show's blue-collar camp sequences.
Springtown (First United Methodist Church) Community scenes — town halls, congregation. "Local businesses paused for shoots."
Irving Listed in official production notices; specific location details not publicly confirmed.
Oklahoma (One Location)
Choctaw Casino & Resort — Durant, Oklahoma High-roller sequences. A border hop — the only non-Texas location in the production footprint.
What This Tells You
The production geography of Landman Season 2 is a tutorial in how the Texas incentive works in practice. West Texas settings — Permian Basin, Odessa, Midland — are not the locations. North Texas locations are:
- A Fort Worth country club stands in for Midland mansions
- Jacksboro's police station becomes Odessa PD
- A road between Weatherford and Cresson becomes an oil field man camp
- TCU is TCU (that one stays honest)
It's the Fort Worth Report that called it clearly: the show "puts Fort Worth front-and-center." Not incidentally — intentionally. Sheridan built SGS Studios in Fort Worth, Fort Worth is the first Media Production Development Zone in Texas, and the production is generating massive local economic activity. Over 75,000 hotel nights booked in Fort Worth since Yellowstone filming began in 2021.
For the Texas crew member, location scout, or property owner wondering whether the incentive program benefits their area: Landman is the case study.
