Paramount Plus has delivered an early Christmas present to fans of Taylor Sheridan's gritty drama, officially confirming that Landman will return for a third season. The announcement comes while the show's second series is still airing, securing the future of the acclaimed oil industry saga.
Early Renewal and Fan Celebration
The streaming service made the news public via the show's official X account on 7 December 2025, with a post that read: "What's better than season 2? Season 3! More #Landman coming to @paramountplus." The move was met with immediate enthusiasm from the show's dedicated viewer base.
Fans quickly flooded the comments to express their delight. One viewer, Tayo, noted the series was "as entertaining as it is educating," while Jay Clark stated the renewal prevented him from cancelling his subscription. Adam L hailed it as the "best show on TV," and Danny Mugo praised the exceptional writing and dialogue, calling it "one hell of a series."
A Lone Point of Contention Among Viewers
However, amidst the widespread praise, a consistent thread of criticism emerged from the audience. This was directed squarely at the characters of Tommy Norris's ex-partner and daughter, portrayed by Ali Larter and Michelle Randolph.
Comments on the renewal announcement highlighted this frustration. User Justlooking wrote, "Great show except the ex and daughter. Absolutely obnoxious and annoying." Another fan, LK, pleaded with the writers: "Would you send the daughter to study abroad and the wife to a tropical resort? P L E A S E." This indicates that while the core drama resonates, these specific character arcs are proving divisive.
Long-Term Future and Character Arcs
The show's longevity seems assured, not just by the renewal but by the commitments of its stars. Billy Bob Thornton recently revealed he has signed a four or five-year contract for the series, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
Co-star Michelle Randolph, who plays the polarising daughter character, has expressed her own hopes for the drama to continue for many seasons. She pointed out that the first season's story unfolded over just ten days, leaving immense scope for future development. "There's so much story still left to tell," Randolph said. "I could see the show going for a long time. We wouldn't run out of things."
Inspired by the podcast Boomtown, Landman is set in West Texas and follows a modern-day quest for wealth in the high-stakes world of oil rigging. Billy Bob Thornton leads the cast as Tommy Norris, a man caught between the demands of a powerful oil company, M-Tex, its CEO Cami Miller (Demi Moore), and the pressures of his own family.
With a third season now on the horizon, viewers can expect the complex tales of fortune and morality in the oil fields to continue unfolding on Paramount Plus.
