Landman Renewed For Season 3 As Paramount Plus Drama Breaks Records

Fans of the hit Paramount+ series Landman have barely had time to process the whirlwind events of Season 2, yet speculation and excitement are already swirling around the show’s highly anticipated third season. The oil drama, helmed by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, has become a flagship series for the streaming service, breaking viewership records and keeping audiences hooked with its blend of high-stakes business intrigue and family drama set against the rugged backdrop of West Texas.

Season 2 of Landman, which wrapped up with its tenth episode, “Tragedy and Flies,” on January 18, 2026, left viewers reeling from a series of seismic shifts within the Norris family and the oil empire they’ve built. Paramount+ wasted little time in confirming the show’s future, officially renewing Landman for a third season in December 2025—a testament to the show’s surging popularity and cultural footprint. According to The Economic Times, the Season 2 premiere attracted a staggering 9.2 million views in just two days, marking a 262 percent increase from the first season and cementing Landman as the largest original series on the platform by late 2025.

The show’s success is no accident. Created by Sheridan—whose knack for crafting compelling neo-Western narratives is well established—and Christian Wallace, Landman has drawn praise for its sharp writing, unpredictable plot twists, and a star-studded cast led by Billy Bob Thornton. Thornton’s portrayal of Tommy Norris, the embattled oilman at the center of the storm, has anchored the series, while supporting performances from Demi Moore, Andy Garcia, Ali Larter, Sam Elliott, Michelle Randolph, and Jacob Lofland have added depth and dynamism to the ensemble.

The Season 2 finale marked a major turning point for the Norris clan. After a dramatic power struggle, Tommy Norris was fired from his leadership role at M-Tex Oil by Cami Miller (played by Demi Moore). But instead of retreating into retirement—or accepting a cushy job with Chevron—Tommy decided to double down on his ambitions. The final scenes saw him rallying his family and closest allies to launch a new venture: CTT Oil Exploration and Cattle. As Men’s Health put it, “He wants to hit one last big home run, and so he goes into business with all of his friends and family (more or less) to create their own oil company.”

This bold move sets up a fresh narrative direction for Season 3. According to The Economic Times and Collider, the new company’s leadership will see Cooper (Jacob Lofland) stepping up as president, Nate handling finances, and Rebecca managing operations and legal affairs. Ainsley (Michelle Randolph) will be navigating the challenges of college life at Texas Christian University, while the Norris family may also be planning Jacob’s wedding. Tommy’s relationship with Angela (Ali Larter) is poised for further exploration, and unresolved business dealings with Gallino (Andy Garcia) and the fate of M-Tex promise to add further intrigue.

The finale’s emotional punch came in Tommy’s refusal to quit. In a moment that resonated with fans, he declared, “Not today,” signaling his determination to stay in the fight and keep pushing forward. This defiant spirit is expected to drive the drama in the upcoming season, as the Norris family faces new power struggles, shifting alliances, and the ever-present volatility of the oil business.

Paramount+ has yet to announce an official release date for Season 3, but industry observers and fans alike are eyeing a possible November or December 2026 premiere. This projection is based on the show’s consistent annual release pattern—Season 1 debuted in November 2024, followed by Season 2 in November 2025. Filming for the new season is rumored to begin in April or May 2026, allowing time for production and post-production before the anticipated late-year launch. However, as noted by Decider, creator Taylor Sheridan’s increasingly busy schedule—he’s juggling multiple upcoming projects, including The Madison, Marshalls, a Yellowstone spin-off, and more—could potentially lead to delays. Some outlets, such as Men’s Health, have even floated the possibility of an early or late fall 2027 return, though most sources remain optimistic about a 2026 release.

As for the cast, fans can expect to see most of their favorites return. Billy Bob Thornton is locked in for multiple seasons, ensuring that Tommy Norris will once again be at the heart of the story. Ali Larter (Angela Norris), Michelle Randolph (Ainsley Norris), Jacob Lofland (Cooper Norris), Sam Elliott (T.L.), Colm Feore (Nathan), Mustafa Speaks (Boss), Bobbi Salvör Menuez (Paigyn), Demi Moore (Cami Miller), and Andy Garcia (Gallino) are all expected to reprise their roles, according to Collider and The Economic Times. Paulina Chavez (Ariana Medina) will also continue as Cooper’s love interest. The notable exception is Jon Hamm, whose character Monty Miller exited the series after the conclusion of his storyline in Season 2. There is some uncertainty about Demi Moore’s regular status, as her character’s role may shift with the new direction of the story, but she remains a significant presence in the oil world of Landman.

For those eager to catch up or rewatch, the first two seasons of Landman are available to stream on Paramount+. The platform offers both Essential (ad-supported) and Premium (ad-free, with Showtime and live CBS) subscription plans, and viewers can also access the show via Paramount+ add-ons on Hulu and Amazon Prime Video. As Decider notes, this makes it easy for new fans to jump into the series or for longtime viewers to revisit the Norris family’s tumultuous journey.

Looking ahead, Season 3 promises to delve deeper into the growth of CTT Oil Exploration and Cattle, with Cooper’s leadership tested by business and family challenges. The evolving dynamics between Tommy, Angela, and Ainsley will remain central, while ongoing conflicts with characters like Cami Miller and Gallino are set to stoke the flames of rivalry and ambition. With Taylor Sheridan at the helm—even as he juggles high-profile projects elsewhere—Landman remains one of Paramount+’s crown jewels, blending sharp storytelling, top-tier performances, and the unpredictable drama of the oil industry.

As the Norris family forges ahead into uncharted territory, viewers can expect more twists, betrayals, and moments of hard-won triumph. The oil fields of West Texas have never felt more alive—or more fraught with danger and possibility.
