Landman season 3 is coming sooner than you think.
Landman was another creation by Taylor Sheridan, who is known for the Yellowstone franchise, The Madison, and Mayor of Kingstown. The series stars Billy Bob Thornton, Ali Larter, Michelle Randolph, Sam Elliott, Kayla Wallace, and Demi Moore. It is one of Paramount+'s best-performing series and has been breaking records since its release on the streaming giant.
At The Hollywood Reporter's Directors in Focus event, director Stephen Kay opened up about when fans can expect to see a new season of Landman land on Paramount+. Kay stated that "we're cutting while we're shooting and so it'll hopefully be out soon." This could mean a late 2026 release or early 2027.
Season 2 of Landman was record-breaking as the season finale drew in 15.8 million viewers within 48 hours of its release. Sheridan's series have often broken records even by other streaming services, including his Western franchise Yellowstone, which is still continuing to expand with the release of four spin-offs with plans for more on the way. Its latest, Dutton Ranch, will be released on Paramount+ on May 15.
During Deadline's Contenders TV Panel, Thornton opened up about his role as Tommy Norris on Landman, "It’s easy to play father-son relationships when you’re a father, and when you had a father that you had a very tricky relationship with. I was just kind of putting on a nice pair of worn-in pants." The actor also stated that he was shocked to see its success, "We certainly didn’t think it would become this huge international hit."
Thornton has been giving production updates for season 3 since Landman season 2 was such a success, and it's clear the cast and crew didn't want to leave fans waiting too long. The actor revealed that the new season of Landman will begin production in May, meaning that a late 2026 release or early 2027 is looking most likely.
Season 2 of Landman is currently available on digital release from April 20 with two brand-new featurettes. The series logline is, "Set in the boomtowns of West Texas, Landman is a modern tale of fortune seeking amongst roughnecks and wildcat billionaires – fueling an oil boom so big it’s reshaping the climate, the economy, and geopolitics."
Landman was well-received by many, and the overall rating for the series on Rotten Tomatoes is currently 80%, with critics stating it was "engaging" and "exciting." However, season 2 was the most divisive as audiences rated it 48% as critics gave it a promising 83%. Audiences stated that "this season doesn't live up to season 1," while some praised the acting and writing.
Landman is available to stream on Paramount+, and at the time of writing, no official season 3 release date has been announced.
Taylor Sheridan Exit Addressed By Landman Star
Landman season 2 has officially come to a close, and with season 3 on the horizon, Jacob Lofland reflects on the show and its future, including Taylor Sheridan's upcoming departure.
Although Sheridan will soon be leaving Paramount, he will still be around for Landman season 3. However, if the show gets renewed after its third installment, there will be a noticeable shift as the creator is leaving Paramount when his contract ends in 2028 and joins NBCUniversal in 2029.
His decision to leave has driven a wedge between both critics and audiences. While many support his new endeavors and are excited to see what he does next, others were worried about their favorite shows losing the person who created and nurtured them.
In an interview with ScreenRant's Grant Hermanns for the Landman season 2 finale, Lofland, who portrays Cooper in the Paramount+ series, offered his own input regarding Sheridan's departure. The actor said that he was sad to see him go, and it's something that he tries not to think about.
However, he has faith in the creative team behind the hit drama series, such as Christian Wallace (co-creator and executive producer), who will most likely be staying on board after Landman season 3. Lofland said that Sheridan's departure and reasons for leaving were none of his business, so he wasn't going to get involved:
Yeah, I try not to think about it. No, I mean, I trust everyone there. We'll just see what happens. And I don't know, that's not my business, so I try to stay out of it. That's between them.
Sheridan first confirmed that he was leaving Paramount for NBCUniversal in October 2025. The creator struck a five-year deal with the latter for film, television, and streaming. The contract will go into effect on January 1, 2029. His longtime business partner, David Glasser, will also leave for NBCUniversal, bringing 101 Studios with him under a first-look film and TV deal after the company completes its remaining projects with Paramount.
Sheridan has also delivered many successful TV shows for Paramount during his time with the studio. Beginning with Yellowstone, he continued to put out high-performing series that have ranked among Paramount+’s most-watched titles. He also played a significant role in attracting and retaining new subscribers for the streaming platform.
Landman seasons 1 and 2 can be streamed on Paramount+.
