When will Landman Season 3 start filming?
The clearest production update comes from James Jordan. In an interview published by Decider, Jordan said the cast expects to begin filming Season 3 in about a month, placing the start in September 2026. He also said production is expected to run through the first quarter of 2027. Read Jordan’s Landman Season 3 production update on Decider
OutKick reported a similar timeline, citing Jordan’s comments that filming is expected to begin in September and continue into early 2027. That schedule makes a 2026 premiere unrealistic unless the production plan changes significantly. Read OutKick’s report on the Season 3 production timeline
Does Landman Season 3 have a release date?
No. Paramount+ has not announced a Season 3 premiere date. Reports suggesting a spring or summer 2027 return are projections based on the production timeline described by James Jordan, not dates confirmed by Paramount+.
A 2027 release remains the most plausible outlook if Jordan’s reported filming schedule holds. Decider expects the season in 2027, while OutKick has discussed a possible May-to-late-summer window. Neither is an official Paramount release date.
Why was Landman renewed for Season 3?
Paramount+ renewed Landman after a record-setting Season 2 launch. In its official renewal announcement, the company said the second-season premiere drew more than 9.2 million global streaming views in its first two days, making it the most-watched premiere in Paramount+ history at the time.

The official Paramount+ Landman page also lists the show as renewed for Season 3. Season 2 consists of 10 episodes and ended on January 18, 2026. View the official Landman episode guide
What story will Season 3 continue?
Season 2 ended with Tommy Norris rebuilding his position after being pushed out of M-Tex. He and Cooper moved toward a new oil venture, with the finale setting up a fresh power structure around the Norris family and their business interests.
The finale positioned Tommy, Cooper and their allies for another round of oil-field deals, family pressure and dangerous partnerships in West Texas.
Who is expected back for Landman Season 3?
Paramount+ has not published a complete Season 3 cast list. Billy Bob Thornton remains the face of the series as Tommy Norris, while James Jordan’s production comments indicate that he expects to return as Dale Bradley.
Season 2 also featured Ali Larter, Demi Moore, Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Andy Garcia and Sam Elliott, but Paramount has not yet confirmed a complete Season 3 returning cast.
Is Taylor Sheridan still involved?
Yes. Paramount continues to identify Landman as a series from co-creator Taylor Sheridan, alongside Christian Wallace. Sheridan remains central to the show’s creative identity, while individual directing assignments can vary from season to season.
Jordan said he believes Stephen Kay, who has directed multiple projects in Sheridan’s television universe, will return for Season 3. Paramount has not formally announced Kay’s return.
Landman is one of several current Taylor Sheridan projects on Paramount+. Factelle is also tracking the next chapter of the Yellowstone universe in its Dutton Ranch Season 2 renewal and release outlook
Why the wait may be longer
The timing appears to be driven by production rather than uncertainty over the show’s future. Paramount renewed Season 3 in December 2025, but Jordan says filming is not expected to begin until September 2026 and may continue into early 2027. That makes a release later in 2027 more realistic than a quick turnaround.
What to watch for next
The next major updates to watch for are Paramount’s production announcement, confirmed returning cast members, first-look imagery and an official premiere window. For now, the only confirmed release information is that Season 3 is happening. The September 2026 to early 2027 filming window comes from James Jordan, while Paramount has not announced when the season will premiere.
