Landman season 3 is officially happening, and while Paramount+ hasn't dropped the calendar pin yet, we're digging into the production timelines and Taylor Sheridan's "oil patch" schedule to predict when Billy Bob Thornton returns to West Texas.
Story Insight: The Quick Hits on Landman Season 3
- Official Renewal: Paramount+ greenlit the third season in December 2025 following record-breaking viewership for the Season 2 premiere.
- Production Timeline: Filming is expected to kick off in early 2026, keeping the momentum of the "Sheridan-verse" alive.
- Potential Release: If the show sticks to its established fall release pattern, we are likely looking at a November 2026 premiere.
- Heavyweight Cast: Expect the core ensemble, led by Billy Bob Thornton and Demi Moore, to navigate the fallout of the Season 2 finale.
If you've been glued to your screen watching Tommy Norris juggle cartel threats and corporate backstabbing, you're not alone. Landman hasn't just been a hit; it's been a gusher. With the Season 2 finale airing on January 18, 2026, the big question on every fan's mind is: When does Landman season 3 premiere? The show has officially become Paramount+'s most-watched original series ever, outperforming even the heavy hitters like Tulsa King and Mayor of Kingstown. While the dust is still settling on the West Texas plains after a chaotic second season, the wheels are already turning for more oil-soaked drama. Here's everything we know (and a few things we're betting on) regarding the future of the Norris family.
While Paramount+ has been vocal about the renewal, they are playing their cards close to the vest regarding an exact date. However, we can look at the "Sheridan Blueprint" to get a very good idea of what's coming.
Looking at the history of the show, Taylor Sheridan seems to love a November launch:
Season 1: Premiered November 17, 2024.
Season 2: Premiered November 16, 2025.
According to Collider and official Paramount press releases, production for the third installment is slated to begin in 2026. Given that Sheridan is known for a rapid-fire production cycle, a November 2026 release date is the most logical "hope" for fans.
While Variety and Deadline have highlighted Sheridan's massive workload including his upcoming transition to NBCUniversal in 2028 the consensus is that Landman is a top priority. Unlike the delays seen with Yellowstone, Landman has maintained a steady annual rhythm. Fans should feel confident that the "Landmania" won't suffer from a multi-year hiatus.
Paramount+ isn't shy about their golden goose. In a December 2025 statement, the streamer confirmed the renewal after the Season 2 premiere drew a staggering 9.2 million viewers in its first 48 hours.
Co-creator Christian Wallace has been vocal about the show's longevity. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Wallace noted there is "a lot of runway left" for the series, despite rumors of Sheridan's eventual exit from the platform. "Right now, we're just going to keep doing what we've been doing," Wallace assured.
The internet is currently a mix of finale theories and "When is more?" pleas.
> @OilPatchFan: "I need Season 3 of Landman yesterday. Tommy Norris is the only man allowed to ruin my Sundays. #Landman #ParamountPlus"
> Reddit /r/Landman: "The jump in quality from S1 to S2 was insane. If they keep this pace, S3 is going to be the biggest show on TV. Just hope we don't have to wait until 2027!"
It's not just about the TV show anymore. Forbes recently reported that Landman has ignited a massive tourism boom in Fort Worth, Texas. Fans are traveling to see the real-life locations like the Bowie House and local haunts featured in the series. This "set-jetting" trend adds even more pressure on Paramount+ to keep the seasons coming every month the show is off the air is a month of missed "Texas-sized" marketing opportunities.
So, will the wait for Landman season 3 hurt its momentum? Highly unlikely. With viewership nearly tripling between the first and second seasons, the "Sheridan Effect" is in full force. While we wait for the official 2026 teaser, binging the first two seasons is the only way to keep the fire burning.
