"Tommy, expelled from M-Tex, teams up with a gang"... 'Landman' Season 3 confirmed to return in November

Paramount+’s flagship series and the core of the Taylor Sheridan universe, 'Landman', has confirmed the production of Season 3 and hinted at a grander scale. The protagonist Tommy Norris, expelled from M-Tex Oil, returns with a shocking development as he teams up with a crime organization.

According to Paramount+ and the production team on the 19th (Korean time), 'Landman' has officially confirmed the production of Season 3, thanks to the explosive success of Season 2. The production team aims to start filming in April to May 2026, with a target release as early as this November.

◆ Viewership skyrockets by 262%... Paramount's golden child

This renewal is backed by overwhelming box office success. Season 2, which started last November, recorded a global audience of 9.2 million just two days after its premiere. This is a 262% increase compared to Season 1 and the highest performance for a Paramount+ original series.

◆ Tommy leaves M-Tex, takes an independent route with 'black money'

The Season 2 finale was shocking. Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton), who was the fixer for the giant oil company M-Tex Oil, ultimately received a termination notice. However, Tommy did not crumble. He teamed up with crime boss Galino (Andy Garcia) to establish a new company, 'CTT Oil Exploration and Cattle'. Season 3 is expected to depict Tommy rallying his family and friends to lead the company funded by crime while battling the existing industry and regulations.

◆ Billy Bob Thornton "I am not leaving"

Regarding the rumors of his departure, lead actor Billy Bob Thornton firmly denied them. He stated, "Filming for Season 3 is scheduled for spring, and I will be there," expressing a strong affection for the project by saying, "I want to continue this work until the story ends." Additionally, Sam Elliott also raised expectations by saying, "Filming will start in April or May."

Interest is focused on how Season 3 of 'Landman', with the intertwining of crime organization funding, family loyalty, and past enemies, will stain the Texas oil fields in yet another bloody way.
