Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Landman’ isn’t slowing down. Season 3, at least, promises to bring the Paramount+ hit to even more dangerous waters, as Tommy Norris starts to rebuild his empire, starting with the ground and balancing family fractures, shaky alliances, and the harsh realities of West Texas oil.
‘Landman’ was renewed in December 2025 as season 2 was still in progress. Now, it has already become one of the biggest success stories of Paramount+. Season 2 provided the biggest premiere in the history of the streamer, attracting 9.2 million viewers around the world during its first days. However, beyond the figures, the true strength of the show is its disheveled humanity: power, pride, and personal cost.
‘Landman’ Season 3 Changes Everything For Tommy Norris
Season 2 ended with a gut punch. Tommy was abruptly fired from M-Tex by Cami. He turned instead of retiring, and did what Tommy does best, pivoted. His most daring gamble so far was the one he made at the end, starting CTT Oil Exploration and Cattle with T.L., Cooper, Nathan, Rebecca, and Dale. On paper, it’s a fresh start. Actually, it is a pressure cooker.

“We barely skimmed the surface in season one and, after season two, I feel like we’re still just skimming the surface,” Showrunner Wallace told THR. Gallo, the leader of the cartel, is financially supporting the new company, which immediately increases the stakes. Season 3 will likely delve into the consequences of his choice.
Tommy attempts to juggle between autonomy and duty, all while maintaining his position at the top of the oil chain. Showrunner Christian Wallace has indicated that the series is not even close to tapping out. West Texas, with its social stratification and grey areas, is still a good place to fight. Tommy may be free of M-Tex, but freedom comes with a price, and in Landman, that price is rarely just financial.
‘Landman’ Season 3 Promises Bigger Risks, Darker Deals, And A Long Game Ahead
In addition to the business drama, season 3 will probably explore more of Tommy’s personal life. His broken relationship with his former wife, Angela, remains one of the emotional pillars of the show. Their past gives depth to the choices made by Tommy, reminding the viewers that his courage is frequently a cover-up of remorse and fear. The larger cast is also likely to reappear with Sam Elliott in his quietly authoritative role of T.L., Demi Moore as Cami, and Andy Garcia as Gallino.

Younger characters such as Cooper and Ainsley may be sucked further into the oil world. They might be forced to confront what loyalty and success really mean. Billy Bob Thornton has indicated that he is dedicated, and Wallace has indicated that ‘Landman’ will continue with its annual release cycle. That consistency matters because Landman thrives on momentum, the feeling that consequences don’t wait.
Season 3 will not be about whether Tommy will win or lose. It will focus on the extent to which he can sacrifice himself to remain in the game. And if Landman has taught us anything so far, it’s that survival in the oil fields is never clean, never simple, and never guaranteed.
