Landman season 3: Release date speculation and latest news

*Warning: This article contains spoilers for the Landman season 2 finale.*

With Landman season 2 having now reached its dramatic end, fans will undoubtedly start looking ahead to the show's future. Another gem in Taylor Sheridan's TV crown, the Paramount Plus series has continued to go from strength to strength, amassing a loyal legion of fans who have followed this complex tale of oil rigs and geopolitics.

But will the series be returning for more? Well thankfully, fans needn't have to wait to find out as Landman was actually renewed for season 3 in the middle of its season 2 release.

It's no real surprise really as the series has the viewership figures to match, what with season 2's premiere episode smashing Paramount's record for biggest season premiere in its history. It amassed a staggering 9.2 million views worldwide within its first few days of release, tripling its previous year's debut.

Co-creator and showrunner Christian Wallace seems none the wiser as to where Sheridan will take the series after Billy Bob Thornton's Tommy Norris struck out on his own with family-run oil company, CTT Oil Exploration.

Wallace told The Hollywood Reporter of season 3 plans: "At the end of the day, it is Taylor’s plan and we’re all just waiting on what he decides to do. There’s a great level of trust there that whatever Taylor decides will be the right move. There are a lot of possibilities, but I’m not sure myself exactly how it’s going to play out. So, we’ll see."

There's plenty more to dig into (quite literally) in season 3, as Thornton teased that it "may be a combo of seasons one and two". With that, read on for everything we know so far about Landman season 3.

Landman season 3 release date speculation

As of now, Paramount Plus has not confirmed when Landman season 3 will be released.

However, we'd hazard a guess and predict that we could be seeing season 3 premiere somewhere in November 2026 if previous timelines are to be observed. Season 1 debuted in November 2024 and season 2 followed suit in November 2025 so should schedules permit, we'd assume later this year will see new episodes land on our screens.

Who will return for Landman season 3?

Some fans initially thought that the direction of season 2 was pointing toward Billy Bob Thornton bowing out from the show, but the actor previously told USA Today that he will star on Landman "for as long as they'll have me." The actor signed a multi-year deal to helm the series as Tommy Norris, telling The Hollywood Reporter: "I think Landman, as an entity, will know when it’s over."

Thornton dismissed the exit rumours as "AI-generated crap", telling USA Today: "There’s an AI report that Demi [Moore] and I are a couple now, and there’s one that I’m leaving the show. They have nothing to do with reality."

As for whether we can expect to see Demi Moore's Cami in season 3, Thornton also revealed: "I think it would be a good idea to keep that character going. Once again, I don’t know. I have no clue. For all I know, an oil rig will fall on me and I’ll only be in the first half of the first episode. I have no idea.

"But I like that dynamic [between Cami and Tommy] in the show very much. This is the wife of my best friend [played by Jon Hamm] who’s died. We’ve known each other for a long time. What’s interesting about that is to see how, when money or business come in, that can really throw a wrench into those kind of friendships."

For that reason, the cast we'd expect to return for season 3 is as follows.

• Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris
• Demi Moore as Cami Miller
• Ali Larter as Angela Norris
• Michelle Randolph as Ainsley Norris
• Jacob Lofland as Cooper Norris
• Paulina Chávez as Ariana Medina
• Kayla Wallace as Rebecca Falcone
• Sam Elliott as TL
• Mark Collie as Sheriff Walt Joeberg
• James Jordan as Dale Bradley
• Andy Garcia as Gallino
• Guy Burnet as Charlie Newsom
• Miriam Silverman as Greta Stidham

What will happen in Landman season 3?

There's no confirmed synopsis for season 3 yet and by the sounds of things, it seems as though Sheridan is keeping that all a well-guarded secret for now.

Series star Billy Bob Thornton told The Hollywood Reporter: "I think Taylor would probably rather the craft service people know than the actors. And that keeps you interested and on your toes, the way he does that. But I have a feeling — this is not even a rumor, it’s only in my head and just a guess — but that season three may be a combo of seasons one and two. Where maybe the danger will come back, but those relationships will still be at the forefront. And that’s just a guess."

In terms of whether season 3 will pick up where season 2 leaves off, Thornton also said: "Honestly, I don’t know. If I did, I would tell you. I really don’t know what’s going to happen. I think maybe the actual physical danger might come back a little bit more. It feels right to me that it would.

"But I can’t help but think that there’s going to be something that happens in the family that is maybe unsettling. I don’t know. These are all feelings I have because that’s all I have to go on."

Whilst we may not know the exact ins and outs of the upcoming season, Wallace did describe season 3 as a "reset", telling The Hollywood Reporter: "We have these characters entering into different dynamics with one another, and now we have T.L., Tommy and Cooper all working at the same company, but not under the auspices of this larger corporation.

"It’s now family-run, very small, starting from almost scratch. That’s a whole new dynamic for them. Along with these other characters from M-Tex who are taking a pretty big gamble."

Previous seasons may have seen Tommy continue to navigate high stakes, oil rigs, roughnecks and billionaires all while balancing his own personal drama, but now heading up his own company will likely offer up its own challenges.
