Overview
- Elliott plays T.L., the father of Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy Norris, depicted as a regretful, sometimes wheelchair‑bound presence in trailer footage.
- Elliott says Sheridan called him directly after a hiatus since 1883, telling him he was “about to put your ass back to work.”
- Thornton describes T.L.’s arrival as a move that deepens Tommy’s backstory and intensifies the family dynamic this season.
- Paramount+ premieres Season 2 on November 16, following a Fort Worth red carpet event and final promotional push this week.
- The series’ North Texas footprint remains central, with cast visits to local towns and Elliott receiving the Bill Paxton Achievement in Film Award at the Lone Star Film Festival.
