Landman Season 3 Begins Production in North Texas Ahead of 2027 Release

Tommy’s new venture is named CTT Oil Exploration and Cattle. The reported team includes Cooper, Nate (Colm Feore), Rebecca (Kayla Wallace) and Dale (James Jordan), while Cami continues to control M-Tex.
ScreenRant reported several possible contributors to the production delays: Billy Bob Thornton’s prior commitments, Taylor Sheridan’s workload across multiple shows and the extreme Texas summer heat.
James Jordan said Sheridan was still writing the season’s scripts in August, adding: “It’s going to be 10 crazy, wonderful, funny and wild episodes.”
Season 2’s finale drew 14.8 million global viewers in its first two days, according to CBR, underscoring the audience success the new season follows.
Production has begun on Landman Season 3 in North Texas, with filming expected to run through early 2027 The Futon Critic. The 10-episode season targets a mid-to-late 2027 release, making a 2026 premiere unlikely. This marks the next chapter for Billy Bob Thornton's character Tommy Norris after being fired from M-Tex in Season 2.
Tommy's new storyline centers on building a rival oil company called CTT Oil Exploration and Cattle with backing from cartel boss Gallino Just Jared. His son Cooper, along with returning characters Nate, Rebecca, and Dale, join the venture. Meanwhile, Cami Miller stays in control of M-Tex CBR.
Multiple factors have slowed Landman's production timeline. Billy Bob Thornton's prior commitments, Taylor Sheridan's heavy workload across multiple shows, and extreme Texas summer heat all contributed to the delays ScreenRant. Sheridan was still writing scripts in August, according to cast member James Jordan.
Jordan confirmed the wait will be worth it, saying: "It's going to be 10 crazy, wonderful, funny and wild episodes." The extended timeline gives Sheridan more time to develop the complex storylines that define the series.
After losing control of M-Tex, Tommy pivots to a new venture. CTT Oil Exploration and Cattle gets backing from the ruthless cartel boss Gallino. Tommy assembles a core team including his son Cooper, longtime ally Nate (Colm Feore), and other returning characters Rebecca and Dale Just Jared.
This shift marks a major format change for the series CBR. Instead of focusing solely on one company's operations, Season 3 will pit two rival oil businesses against each other. The dynamic promises fresh conflict and power struggles between Tommy's new company and Cami's M-Tex.
Landman Season 2's finale drew 14.8 million global viewers in its first two days CBR, proving strong audience appetite for the show. This viewership success underscores the pressure on Sheridan and the team to deliver Season 3 at the same quality level.
Michael Kelly has been added to the Season 3 cast Just Jared. The casting additions and expanded storylines suggest Paramount+ is investing heavily in keeping the momentum going as the series enters its third chapter.
