Fans of the popular Paramount+ show Landman are currently engrossed in watching season 2. However, will there be a season 3 of the Taylor Sheridan series?
The series focuses on Tommy Norris, a fixer for Texas oilmen, as he navigates complicated relationships in the oil industry and with his own family, including his always-dramatic ex-wife, Angela, and their daughter, Aynsley, and son, Cooper. Season 2 has also featured Demi Moore in a larger role as the widow of a Texas oilman.
Veteran actor Sam Elliott joined the cast as Norris's dad, T.L. Norris. And he's the cast member that let it slip that it appears there will be a third season of Landman, which has not yet been confirmed by the network or Sheridan.
“I’m excited to see what unfolds in season 3. I mean, we’re talking about season 2, but that’s backstory for us at this point. We’re all kind of looking toward April and May when we start shooting season 3,” Elliott told Extra TV in November.
Thornton also gave a big clue about the show's endurance when he told USA Today that he had "signed on to Landman" for "four or five years." Thornton told USA Today that he wants to stay on the show "for as long as they'll have me."
Christian Wallace, the co-creator, also hinted that there will be a season 3.
“We barely skimmed the surface in season one,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “And again, after season two, I feel like we’re still just skimming the surface.”
Asked how many seasons there will be, he told THR: "Well, there are a lot of forces well beyond my control and pay grade that determine all that. But, I think it’s as long as Taylor [Sheridan, co-creator and showrunner] wants. It’s well, well, beyond my pay grade, but as long as everyone’s still having fun and the story is continuing in a worthwhile way, then, sure, I’d love for it to go as long as the story permits. There’s a lot of runway left."
Elliott appeared on Extra TV alongside Thornton.
"I was very pleased that's what happened," Thornton said of Elliott joining the series. "It meant the world to me. Taylor knows who to cast. He's very good at it, and he cast the right person, and my favorite person, so I'm thrilled."
Thornton said in the interview that he didn't "go to Shakespeare school or any of that kind of stuff. I couldn't recite three lines from Hamlet." He said he has stayed "for the most part, out of the Hollywood life. I'm just with my family... or doing Landman." He said he keeps "grounded" just "doing the things you love."
According to Thornton, he puts his "life experience" into acting.
Season 2 started on November 16.
