A Taylor Sheridan and Billy Bob Thornton collaboration was all the time a no brainer, however “Landman” turned out to be so profitable, it really shocked its star. Since debuting in 2024, the oil drama has turn out to be the primary Paramount+ authentic of all time, bringing in a median of 15.8 million viewers in a five-week interval. As such, anticipation for the present’s third season is about as excessive because it’s doable to get, however so far, updates have been frustratingly sparse. Now, nevertheless, a “Landman” director has offered what followers have been ready for, revealing that the present has not solely begun filming however he and his staff are chopping collectively episodes as they go.
Director Stephen Kay spoke on the The Hollywood Reporter‘s Administrators in Focus occasion, the place he acknowledged, “We’re chopping whereas we’re taking pictures, and so it’s going to hopefully be out quickly.” No official launch date for “Landman” Season 3 has been confirmed, however in January 2026, USA Right this moment reported that filming was set to start out in spring 2026. It appears that evidently taking pictures is now properly underway, and with Seasons 1 and a pair of of the present launching in November of 2024 and 2025 respectively, it is possible we’ll see the brand new batch of episodes arriving at the same time in 2026 — if not sooner. As we await official affirmation of a launch date, this newest replace bodes extraordinarily properly for the upcoming season arriving on time.
Landman has quite a bit to dwell as much as in season 3
“Landman” is arguably the right distillation of Taylor Sheridan’s melodrama-meets-naturalism formulation. The author’s hit sequence “Yellowstone” misplaced its approach with ridiculous plotlines that veered too far into absurdity, and whereas “Landman” is filled with completely insane moments, it is also filled with some deeply affecting scenes, comparable to Billy Bob Thornton’s favourite alternate with actor Jacob Lofland. The pair play the daddy and son duo Tommy and Cooper Norris, and have been completely sensible of their respective roles so far.
The query at this level (apart from “When will ‘Landman’ season 3 arrive?”) is how Sheridan will high the earlier seasons, which have been extra profitable than even the folks concerned ever imagined. Hopefully Season 3 would not pull a “Yellowstone” and go off the rails utterly, however it would not appear like we’ll have lengthy to attend earlier than we discover out.
We do know that each Lofland and Ainsley Norris actor Michelle Randolph are planning to alter their strategy to their characters in “Landman” Season 3, with the latter wanting ahead to displaying a extra nuanced, severe facet to Ainsley. In the meantime, Thornton has confirmed he’ll be returning after rumors circulated that he was leaving the present — which is a darn good factor. On the finish of season 2, Tommy was fired from his job at M-Tex Oil and began his personal firm, appointing his family and friends to varied posts in his newly-formed agency. Little question a lot of the drama in season 3 will come from CTT Oil Exploration & Cattle discovering its approach via the early days of operation and the looming menace of Andy Garcia’s Danny “Gallino” Morrell demanding a return on his funding. In any other case, particulars are nonetheless skinny, however it appears all shall be revealed very quickly.
