‘Landman’ Returning for Season 3: All the Details

Billy Bob Thornton on Landman

Landman is back and more chaotic than ever. The series returned for its Season 2 premiere on Paramount+ on November 16 and introduced a lot of drama.

So far, Season 2 has seen Cami (Demi Moore) put her doubters on notice that she was more than equipped to take over M-Tex from her late husband, but her confidence was shaken when she discovered the company was in major financial distress.

Meanwhile, Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) and Angela (Ali Larter) are dealing with questions about their future, Aynsley (Michelle Randolph) is entering a new phase in her life with college, and Cooper (Jacob Lofland) made a big score on his new oil fields to the tune of millions, but his ambitions complicated matters with Ariana (Paulina Chávez).

Elsewhere, we also met T.L. (Sam Elliott), Tommy’s father, at his nursing home, and learned that his former wife, Tommy’s mother, sadly died.

Suffice it to say, there’s already a ton of plot threads beginning to unravel on Landman Season 2. But what does the future hold beyond this current season? Apparently, a lot. Here’s what we know so far.

Is Landman renewed for Season 3?

Yes. Paramount+ announced on December 5 that the show has been greenlit for a third season after a major viewership tally for Season 2. Per the streamer, the premiere notched a whopping 9.2 million streams on its first two days, which was a 262% increase over Season 1’s debut and marked the biggest premiere for any Paramount+ original so far.

Meanwhile, Billy Bob Thornton recently told USA Today that he is signed on to his contract for the show for “four or five years.”

What will Landman Season 3 be about?

Series cocreator Christian Wallace, who developed the show with Taylor Sheridan, talked to The Hollywood Reporter about the potential future of the series and said that Season 2 is “still just skimming the surface.”

“Our cast has added so much depth to the characters. They know them so well now that they make it easy to tell an entertaining story,” the Boomtown podcast host said. “As long as everyone’s still having fun and the story is continuing in a worthwhile way, then, sure, I’d love for it to go as long as the story permits. There’s a lot of runway left.”

When will Landman Season 3 premiere?

Wallace indicated that it could return at the same pace that Season 2 did, a year after the first season’s debut. “I think it’s the plan. We hate to make people wait too long, and we’re all excited to get back and do it again. After we wrap, a couple weeks later, we’re like, ‘Dang, I miss everybody’ — cast and crew. We have such a great crew. I think we’re ready to get back to it as soon as we can.”
