Fans of Taylor Sheridan’s gritty oil field drama Landman can mark their calendars for another tense episode. The show’s fifth episode of the second season, titled “The Pirate Dinner,” arrives this Sunday, setting the stage for a clash between family and business.
With Tommy Norris now leading M-Tex Oil alongside Cami Miller, the pressure has never been higher. The new episode shifts focus to Tommy’s personal life, centering on a family dinner that threatens to bring long-simmering tensions to the surface.
Episode Release Date and Streaming Details
Landman Season 2 Episode 5 will be available for streaming on Sunday, December 14, 2025. As with previous weeks, the episode will go live on Paramount+ at 3:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET) and 12:00 a.m. Pacific Time (PT).
For international viewers, the release translates to 7:00 a.m. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in the United Kingdom. The episode is expected to run for approximately 55 minutes, matching the length of most episodes this season.
The series is an exclusive Paramount+ original. Viewers need an active subscription to watch.

What to Expect in “The Pirate Dinner”
The official synopsis for the episode states: “Tommy juggles multiple crises as Angela throws a dinner to welcome T.L.”. This simple line hints at major drama within the Norris family.
The dinner is Angela’s idea to welcome Tommy’s father, T.L., played by Sam Elliott, back into the home. This comes after the emotional events of Episode 4, “Dancing Rainbows,” where Tommy finally allowed his father to move in. Tommy had blamed T.L. for abandoning him during his mother Dorothy’s illness, a painful history that is still fresh. The dinner party forces these unresolved issues into the open.

While Tommy deals with family, his professional life remains chaotic. M-Tex Oil is still at risk of collapse. In the previous episode, Cami tried to save the company by bringing in Dan as an investor, but he refused unless Tommy approved the deal. This leaves Cami with few options and increases the pressure on Tommy, who must now balance a high-stakes business crisis with intense family dynamics.
A Look Back at Episode 4: “Dancing Rainbows”
To understand where Episode 5 picks up, it helps to recall key events from the last episode. Episode 4 involved a tragic accident with an M-Tex truck, which triggered a difficult day for several characters.
Rebecca, shaken by the crash and questioning her role at M-Tex, lost control. She began drinking and ended up in a complicated situation with Charlie Newsom. Meanwhile, Ariana met with Cooper and accompanied him to a funeral.
The core of the episode focused on the Norris family. Tommy and his family picked up his father, Thomas, for Dorothy’s funeral. Old resentments flared, with Tommy confronting Thomas about leaving him to handle his mother’s decline alone. The episode ended on a significant note: Tommy opened up about the loss of his baby sister, a pain he has carried for years, and finally allowed his father to move in with him. This fragile new living arrangement is the immediate backdrop for “The Pirate Dinner.”
