Landman Season 3 & Beyond Addressed By Billy Bob Thornton

Okay, so I just started watching season 2 of Landman on Paramount+, and it’s really good! Billy Bob Thornton is fantastic as Tommy, dealing with a lot after Monty’s death and trying to keep M-Tex afloat. I recently read an interview with Thornton, and he talked about how he sees the show potentially going for a long time. He believes the focus on the business side of the oil industry gives them a ton of stories to tell, and honestly, I can totally see that. It’s a different kind of drama, and I’m excited to see where they take it. Just a heads-up though – there are spoilers if you haven’t started season 2 yet!

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Noah Thornton, committed to Landman for at least four years, discussed how long the show might continue. When asked if it could run for a decade, he said the show would likely end when they ran out of fresh ideas for future storylines.

Yes, I’m definitely committed to doing this as long as I can. Ultimately, though, every story has a natural ending. When I worked on Goliath, playing a lawyer, I signed on for four years, and that felt right. Sometimes shows go on for too long – you see them reach a point where they’ve either exhausted their ideas or are just repeating themselves. I think Landman will naturally reach a point where we all agree it’s time to finish the story.

The second season centers around Tommy and Cami (Demi Moore) as they deal with the aftermath of discovering Monty’s financial crimes and try to keep M-Tex afloat. Meanwhile, the main character reconnects with his father, T.L. (Sam Elliott), after his mother passes away. Adding to the mix, Cooper (Jacob Lofland) is starting to build his own successful oil business.

With its complex characters and numerous storylines, the show clearly has the potential to continue exploring the world of oil for a long time. Thornton seems open to the idea, even suggesting he’d play his character, Tommy, for another ten years if the writing remains compelling.

If the show continues for much longer, it will do so without Taylor Sheridan, one of its creators and writers. He recently signed a contract with NBCUniversal to start creating new shows for them in January 2029, meaning he’ll be leaving Paramount at the end of 2028 and won’t be involved with his current series anymore.

Despite this, the agreement won’t take effect for another three years, so Landman doesn’t need to deal with it right away. The show has already established a way to tell stories over multiple years. With Tommy and Cami running M-Tex and Cooper pursuing his own goals, there’s plenty of potential for long-running storylines.

Thornton’s comments suggest that Landman will likely be part of season 3 and potentially stay with the show for many seasons to come. As long as the series keeps creating compelling stories for its characters, it appears the lead actor will continue to be involved.

New episodes of Landman air Sundays on Paramount+.
