The high-stakes world of West Texas oil drilling is set to roar back to life. Taylor Sheridan’s gripping drama, Landman, has officially been greenlit for a third season by Paramount+. Following a massively successful sophomore run, fans are eagerly anticipating what new challenges await Tommy Norris and the volatile players in the energy boomtowns.
'Landman' Season 3: The Official Confirmation
Just as Season 2 was wrapping up its dramatic conclusion, Paramount+ delivered the news fans were hoping for. The series, which chronicles a "modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs," premiered to record-breaking numbers. The initial episode reportedly garnered over 9.2 million streaming views in its first two days, solidifying Landman as a major success for the streaming service.
This immediate renewal speaks volumes about the show's appeal, blending the gritty realism of the oil industry with the deep, often dark, personal dramas characteristic of Sheridan’s universe. While the exact storyline for Season 3 remains under wraps, the fallout from the Season 2 finale promises a turbulent start.
Season 2 Cliffhangers Setting Up Season 3
For those who have followed the recent developments, the tensions are at an all-time high. Season 2 saw Cami Miller (Demi Moore) taking decisive, aggressive action, notably firing Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy Norris from the M-Tex Oil offshore natural gas rig project. Cami’s stance—that the company cannot afford to be averse to the very industry that built it—puts her directly at odds with Norris, although his influence in the oil games seems far from extinguished.
Beyond the corporate maneuvering, the personal stakes have reached a fever pitch. Tommy’s son, Cooper Norris (Jacob Lofland), is now entangled in a potentially career-ending incident after nearly killing a man who assaulted his fiancée, Ariana. With security footage capturing the event, the consequences for Cooper will undoubtedly shape the opening arcs of Season 3.
The logline teased for the upcoming season hints at escalating pressure: "Facing mounting pressure from M-Tex Oil, Cami Miller (Moore), and the shadow of his kin, survival in West Texas isn’t noble – it’s brutal. And sooner or later something’s got to break." This suggests that Tommy Norris’s breaking point, hinted at throughout the previous season, may finally arrive amidst the rising tide of secrets and industry demands.
When Will 'Landman' Season 3 Release?
While the renewal is confirmed, Paramount+ has yet to announce a specific release date for Season 3. Tracking the previous scheduling pattern offers a likely projection for dedicated viewers.
Projected 2026 Premiere
Landman debuted on November 17, 2024. Its second season followed the next year, arriving on November 16, 2025. Maintaining this yearly cadence suggests that Season 3 is highly probable to land sometime in the last quarter of 2026.
The consistent annual drop allows Sheridan and the production team ample time to manage the complex logistics of filming in the demanding West Texas locations while navigating the intricate storylines involving massive oil rigs and sprawling corporate operations. Fans should keep an eye on Paramount+ announcements throughout the summer and fall of 2026 for the official date.
The Cast: Who Will Return?
The core ensemble cast is expected to return, though the dramatic events of the Season 2 finale leave several characters' fates hanging in the balance. The central figures driving the narrative include:
- Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris
- Demi Moore as Cami Miller
- Andy Garcia as Gallino
- Ali Larter as Angela Norris
- Jacob Lofland as Cooper Norris
- Michelle Randolph as Ainsley Norris
The dynamic between Thornton’s seasoned, battle-weary Norris and Moore’s ambitious, forward-thinking Miller remains the lynchpin of the series. Their evolving professional and personal conflict will undoubtedly fuel much of the action in Season 3.
Where to Watch 'Landman'
All existing seasons of Landman are available to stream exclusively on Paramount+. New episodes, including the highly anticipated Season 3, will premiere on the platform.
As the dust settles on the dramatic cliffhangers of the second season, the anticipation for Landman Season 3 is already palpable. With record viewership fueling the show’s momentum, Taylor Sheridan is poised to deliver another brutal, captivating look into the heart of American energy fortunes.
