Yet, after a shocking twist near the end of season 2 that drove fans up the wallhis character, M-Tex oil president Tommy Norris, was fired and forced to strike out on his ownmany"
"Tommy works out a deal in the finale to start his own oil company, CTT: Oil Exploration and Cattle. The unusually happy moment for Landman could serve as the end of the series, if it wasn't already renewed for season 3. But according to Thornton, it might just be the eye before the storm. "The end is the beginning of the season." Thornton says. What's interesting about it is that Tommy's not the kind of guy who ever trusts happiness."
Taylor Sheridan created Tommy Norris specifically for Billy Bob Thornton, who is contractually committed to the series. A season 2 twist forces Tommy out of M-Tex, prompting fans to speculate about Thornton's departure. Tommy negotiates with his son and allies to form CTT: Oil Exploration and Cattle, giving his family control of the company. The finale frames the new company as both an ending and a beginning, and Tommy allows a rare, guarded moment of happiness despite his usual mistrust of contentment.
