LANDMAN ACCELERATES INTO SEASON 3: PARAMOUNT+ RENEWAL BRINGS TOMMY NORRIS’ RIVAL EMPIRE, FRACTURED ALLIANCES, AND PERSONAL OIL WAR TO WEST TEXAS

The Permian Basin is about to ignite again. Paramount+ has officially renewed Landman for a highly anticipated Season 3, following a Season 2 finale that shattered viewership records and left fans reeling from Tommy Norris’ dramatic fall and rebirth. Created by Taylor Sheridan, the series has become a streaming powerhouse, with Season 2’s premiere alone pulling in 9.2 million global views in its first 48 hours—a benchmark for the platform.

Billy Bob Thornton returns as the indomitable Tommy Norris, the crisis manager who once navigated M-Tex Oil’s chaos but was unceremoniously fired by owner Cami Miller (Demi Moore) in the Season 2 closer. Far from defeated, Tommy launches CTT Oil Exploration and Cattle, LLC—a bold, independent rival empire. Backed by a massive $44 million investment from the enigmatic, cartel-linked Danny “Gallino” Morrell (Andy Garcia), Tommy recruits his inner circle: son Cooper (Jacob Lofland) as president, father T.L. (Sam Elliott) on operations, and trusted allies including lawyer Rebecca Falcone. This shift turns professional rivalry into deeply personal vendettas, with old loyalties crumbling and new alliances forged in dangerous shadows.

The Season 2 finale’s haunting coyote stare-down—Tommy locking eyes with the animal as a metaphor for survival and impending threats—sets a volatile tone. Thornton described it as capturing “defiance mixed with real uneasiness,” signaling Season 3 will escalate the stakes dramatically. Power plays intensify: betrayals hit closer to home, family fractures widen, and the oil war becomes a brutal fight for control, legacy, and survival.

Thornton has firmly shut down any speculation about his exit, dismissing AI-fueled rumors and confirming his full commitment. “I’m not going anywhere,” he stated in recent interviews. The core ensemble—Thornton, Moore, Garcia, Elliott, Lofland, and more—is set to return when production begins in spring 2026, aiming for a late-year premiere.

Sheridan’s storytelling, rooted in the real-world “Boomtown” podcast, blends gritty authenticity with high-octane drama. West Texas oil fields serve as the unforgiving backdrop, where fortunes flip overnight and every deal carries life-altering risks.
