The future of the hit oil industry drama Landman is officially secure, with Paramount+ confirming a third season is on the way. This news comes hot on the heels of the show's dramatic second season finale, which left fans reeling and desperate for more.
Renewal Confirmed Amidst Spectacular Viewing Figures
Fans of the Taylor Sheridan-created series can breathe a sigh of relief. Paramount+ officially renewed Landman for a third season back in December 2025. This decision was heavily influenced by the show's phenomenal performance. The season two premiere achieved a staggering 9.2 million streaming views in its first 48 hours alone.
This figure represented an incredible 262 percent increase compared to the first season's finale, making it the most-watched premiere for any original series on the Paramount+ platform. The gripping narrative, led by Billy Bob Thornton as oilman Tommy Norris, clearly struck a chord with audiences worldwide.
What Happened in the Season Two Finale?
The second season placed the Norris family under immense pressure. Tommy Norris was fired by his new boss, Cami Miller, portrayed by Demi Moore. His son, Cooper, faced murder charges after defending his partner, while daughter Ainsley navigated college life.
In a desperate move to resurrect his career, Tommy made a fateful decision. After twice rejecting offers from cartel boss Danny ‘Gallino’ Morrell, played by Andy Garcia, Tommy finally struck a deal with the shady investor. The season concluded with Tommy founding his own oil company and appointing his son Cooper as its president, setting the stage for a explosive new chapter.
When Will Filming Begin and What About Sheridan's New Deal?
While an official release date for Landman season three has not been set, a key cast member has offered a promising clue. Sam Elliott, who joined the series as Tommy's father, recently suggested to ExtraTV that filming could resume in April or May 2026.
This timeline hints that the new season could follow the previous pattern and premiere in November 2026. Some concerns were raised about the show's longevity when creator Taylor Sheridan signed a major new deal with NBCUniversal. However, reports from Deadline confirm this agreement does not commence until 2029, securing Landman's future on Paramount+ for the foreseeable future.
The series, which also stars Michelle Randolph and Jacob Lofland, continues to be a flagship title for the streaming service. With the core cast expected to return and a new empire for Tommy Norris to build, the stakes for season three have never been higher.
