Taylor Sheridan has seemingly learned from his mistakes concerning Kayce and Monica’s love story inYellowstone, as evidenced by the development of one couple in his new show,Landman. Sheridan continues his TV dominance with the Paramount+ drama series, which follows Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy.Thornton’s character is a landman at an oil companywho handles problems with local landowners, oil patch crews, and sometimes the cartel. As such, Tommy faces a lot of danger. He often gets into himself sticky situations, just likethe Dutton family did inYellowstone.
New episodes ofLandmandrop on Sundays on Paramount+. The season 1 finale (episode 10), “The Crumbs of Hope,” will be released on Sunday, August 05, 2025.
Unfortunately,Yellowstonehas seemingly come to an end after season 5, part 2. Some reports claim that a sixth season is possible, but with Beth and Rip’s spinoff and several other shows (likeLandman) on Sheridan’s plate, he might be too busy to continueYellowstone. Based onthe positive response toLandman, it’s probably for the best that Sheridan focuses on his newer projects.Fans can move on from rooting for Kayce and Monica inYellowstoneto cheering for another couple in the Paramount+ drama.
Landman’s Cooper & Ariana Story Is Like Yellowstone’s Unseen Kayce & Monica Backstory
The Audience Never Got To See The Beginning Of Kayce & Monica’s Romance
The first half ofLandmanseason 1 has been slowly but surely building Cooper and Ariana’s romance. It’s rather complicated, seeing as she had a husband who recently died. Plus,Cooper was beaten up at the end ofLandmanepisode 5because of his connection to Ariana and his inability to stay away from her. While all these factors are concerning,Cooper and Ariana’s story is somewhat reminiscent of Kayce and Monica’s romance inYellowstone.However, unlike Cooper and Ariana, the 2018 neo-Western drama series never showed Kayce and Monica’s backstory.

Monica’s family likely held the same grudges against Kayce when they first started dating that Ariana’s deceased husband’s family does inLandman. Cooper is even attacked by them because of his burgeoning relationship with Ariana. It’s quite possible that Kayce had to go through the same thing inYellowstone. Season 1 ofTaylor Sheridan’s first TV showimplied thatMonica’s brother, Robert, could barely tolerate Kayce(before Robert killed Kayce’s brother, Lee, which resulted in Kayce killing Robert).Yellowstonenever fully told that story, though, and nowLandmangets to.
Landman Season 2 Update Is More Disappointing For The Taylor Sheridan Show Given What’s Going On With Yellowstone Season 6
Given the status of Taylor Sheridan’s popular TV show Yellowstone, the future of his new Paramount+ series, Landman, is more important than ever.
Should Cooper & Ariana Be A Couple On Landman?
Cooper & Ariana’s Situation Is Very Complex
IfLandmanfans are hoping for a happy ending for Cooper and Ariana likethe one Kayce and Monica got inYellowstone, they might be disappointed. Only six episodes have aired, but Cooper and Ariana’s relationship surely isn’t being built on steady ground. Ariana is still mourning her late husband while forming a close bond with Cooper. Consequently,their story might end in heartbreak.At the very least, Cooper and Ariana won’t have an easy journey asLandmancontinues.
