Landman Officially Renewed for Season 3 Ahead of Season 2 Finale
Landman fans got big news earlier than expected. Even before the Season 2 finale aired on January 18, 2026, Paramount+ had already locked in a third season of the hit drama. The renewal came surprisingly fast—just 19 days after Season 2 premiered on November 16, 2025—a clear sign of the show’s massive success.
Paramount+ officially renewed Landman for Season 3 on December 5, 2025, and the timing couldn’t have been better.
Season 2’s finale delivered jaw-dropping numbers. A staggering 14.8 million viewers tuned in during the first two days after release, making it the most-watched season finale in Paramount+ history. Even more impressive, viewership jumped 70% compared to the Season 1 finale, proving that the series didn’t just hold momentum—it exploded.
Where Season 2 Left the Story
Season 2 ended with a shake-up no one saw coming.
Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) was fired from M-Tex, setting off a chain reaction that left the company in chaos. Cami Miller (Demi Moore) suddenly found herself without leadership after her chosen replacement, attorney Nate (Colm Feore), quit out of loyalty to Tommy.
That decision triggered a mass exodus. M-Tex lost its legal team, a skilled oil rig crew, and the hard-earned industry relationships Tommy had built from the ground up.
But Tommy didn’t stay down for long.
Tommy’s Dangerous New Chapter
After leaving M-Tex, Tommy reignited his uneasy alliance with Dan Morello—also known as Gallindo—a dangerous cartel boss who made it painfully clear that failure was not an option. Gallindo threatened everyone Tommy loves if promises weren’t kept.
At the same time, Tommy launched his own venture: CTT Oil Exploration & Cattle.
This new company isn’t just business—it’s personal.
The team includes:
-
His son Cooper (Jacob Lofland)
-
Cooper’s fiancée Ariana (Paulina Chávez)
-
His father, T.L. (Sam Elliott)
It’s a bold move, but one packed with risk.
Family Dynamics Moving Forward
Season 2 also closed with a quieter, emotional moment. Tommy and Angela’s daughter, Ainsley (Michelle Randolph), prepared to leave for Texas Christian University. Season 3 is expected to explore her journey and how distance reshapes the family.
As for Tommy and Angela (Ali Larter), their once-explosive relationship finally seems stable—but in Landman, peace never lasts long. Season 3 could easily unravel everything Tommy worked to rebuild by the Season 2 finale.
Could Season 3 Be Delayed?
While excitement is high, Season 3 may arrive a bit later than usual.
Both previous seasons followed a similar schedule:
-
Filming began in May
-
Episodes premiered in mid-November
-
Seasons wrapped in January
Filming typically takes place in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, and that Texas heat is no joke.
Why Production Might Start Later This Time
In a recent interview, co-creator Christian Wallace addressed whether the show would stick to its usual timeline.
He confirmed that the goal remains the same but admitted production is running slightly behind compared to previous seasons. The biggest challenge? Extreme Texas heat.
With long outdoor shoots, the conditions can be brutal. Twelve-hour days in 100-degree-plus temperatures take a toll on everyone involved. Still, Wallace emphasized that the heat adds authenticity to the show’s gritty atmosphere—and that’s a trade-off the team is willing to make.
Despite the challenges, he sounded confident that the current rhythm works well and remains excited about the upcoming season.
What This Means for Fans
Season 3 may start filming a bit later than usual, but nothing suggests a major delay or creative setback. If anything, the team’s commitment to realism and quality signals that Landman is aiming even higher.
With record-breaking ratings, a dramatic cliffhanger, and a powerful cast returning, Season 3 is shaping up to be the show’s most intense chapter yet.
One thing is certain: Landman isn’t slowing down—it’s just gearing up for an even hotter season.
