Thanks to James Jordan – one of Taylor Sheridan’s go-to actors who is currently starring in Landman – we have a better idea of when the oil drama will return for Season 3.
After the chaotic ending to the oil drama’s second season, fans of the hit Taylor Sheridan show have been chomping at the bit to find out what will happen with all of their favorite characters, like Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy Norris or Demi Moore’s Cami Miller.
Originally, Landman was supposed to return to Fort Worth to shoot Season 3 earlier this year. Legendary actor Sam Elliott, who plays T.L. Norris in the show, had even said in late 2025 that they were looking to get back to work around April or May of 2026. Now, thanks to some quotes provided to US Weekly by James Jordan… we know Landman Season 3 is more than a couple of months behind schedule.
The actor behind Dale Bradley told the outlet that he’s seen a script for Season 3, and that it’s “going to be amazing.” He also stated that he was excited to “get back” to the Fort Worth area to shoot the third season:
“I’ve got the Season 3 script. It was sent to me right in this phone. I will guard it with my life. But I snuck a quick peek. I really have to read it later, but it’s going to be amazing…
Everybody’s very excited to get back to work. It’s going to be a great time. We’re pumped to get back to the Fort Worth area and shoot season 3.”
In other words, they haven’t even started on Season 3 yet, after the original plan was to get started a couple of months ago.
From what Jordan had to say, Sheridan is still writing episodes for the third season. He says the 10 episodes that will eventually make their way onto Paramount+ will match the energy of the first two seasons, and also revealed that they aren’t planning on getting back to work on it until September:
“It’s going to be fantastic. Taylor is writing as we speak. It’s going to be 10 crazy, wonderful, funny and wild episodes — just like season 1 and season 2 have been. Billy Bob and everybody, we’re all ready to get back to work.”
I believe we’re bringing back the same director, Stephen Kay, who I adore. So it’s going to be a great ride. We start that sometime in September and we’ll shoot that through the first quarter of next year. Then we should have it out … I don’t know when. It’s up to the powers that be, but we’re very excited to get started on that.”
If my math is correct, that’s a five month delay.
That’s out of the norm for a Taylor Sheridan show. The Yellowstone creator has always been the type that likes to keep his shows on tight, every-year release schedule. Even with his other shows like Tulsa King and Mayor Of Kingstown, the general rhythm has been film in the spring, premiere in the fall.
Landman was originally set to do that, but now it appears that they’ll shoot for a “film in the fall, premiere in the late winter to early spring.” Season 3 definitely isn’t going to air in 2026 now, and early 2027 would probably be a hopeful premiere date for the Billy Bob Thornton-led drama. We’ll keep an ear to the ground for official word from Paramount+… but all in all, this update is a bit of a bummer.
Here’s a Season 2 recap in case you wanted to reminisce:
