Landman is drilling.
The Paramount+ Big Oil drama starring Billy Bob Thornton from Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace has begun production on season three in Forth Worth, Texas.
Along with Thornton, Demi Moore, Andy Garcia, Ali Larter, Sam Elliott, Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace, Mark Collie and James Jordan are all returning for season three, and Michael Kelly was previously announced to be joining the cast.
Meanwhile, Colm Feore, Mustafa Speaks, Bobbi Salvor Menuez and Francesca Xuereb have all been upped to series regulars. Parmount announced the news with a photo tease, below.
The last time viewers saw Thornton’s oil fixer, Tommy Norris, the future was looking brighter compared to season one’s ending. Tommy once again was visited by the (metaphorical) coyote as he, his family and close-knit crew embarked on the launch of their own oil company, CTT Oil Exploration and Cattle, after Tommy made a dangerous deal with cartel boss Gallino (Garcia).
Thornton has been open about his long-term vision for Landman. The West Texas-set drama broke viewership records to become a surefire hit for the streamer. Despite series hit-maker Sheridan striking a deal to move his prolific TV output over to NBCUniversal starting in 2028, Thornton has said the vision for many seasons of Landman remains steady.
Co-created by Sheridan and Wallace, and set in the boomtowns of West Texas, Landman is a modern tale of fortune seeking amongst roughnecks and wildcat billionaires — fueling an oil boom so big it’s reshaping the climate, the economy and geopolitics.
Landman is produced by Paramount Television Studios, 101 Studios, and Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch Productions. Sheridan, David C. Glasser, David Hutkin, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, Wallace, Thornton, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Friedman and Stephen Kay, along with Dan Friedkin and Jason Hoch for Imperative Entertainment, and J.K. Nickell and Megan Creydt for Texas Monthly, are executive producers.
