Landman Season 3 Set for 2026 Release, Billy Bob Thornton Confirmed to Return Landman season 3 is set to premiere on Paramount+ later in 2026, with Billy Bob Thornton rejoining the cast as Tommy Norris. Despite earlier rumors suggesting his departure, Thornton has confirmed his return, dismissing the speculation as “stupid AI thing” and “AI-generated crap.” The oil industry drama faces production delays but promises new storylines and character developments. The third season will follow Tommy Norris as he builds his own CTT Oil company after being ousted from M-Tex in the previous season. Filming is scheduled to begin in April or May 2026 in Fort Worth, Texas, with the series expected to debut on Paramount+ in November 2026, aligning with its annual release pattern. The show’s creator, Taylor Sheridan, continues to shape the narrative around the gritty realities of the Texas oil patch, balancing corporate struggles with personal stakes. Thornton’s return solidifies his role as the show’s anchor, having commanded $1 million per episode in Season 2. His commitment to the series is underscored by his signed contracts for multiple seasons, ensuring his presence for the show’s continuation. The ensemble cast includes Demi Moore, Ali Larter, Sam Elliott, Michelle Randolph, Jacob Lofland, Paulina Chevez, and Andy Garcia. Recent reports indicate Blair Underwood has joined the cast for a significant role, adding new dynamics to the storyline. Season 3 will feature 10 episodes, with the plot focusing on Tommy’s efforts to rebuild his empire from scratch. Michelle Randolph, who plays Ainsley Norris, hinted at her character’s potential exploration of college life and independence, while the show promises to delve deeper into the challenges of business decisions and personal relationships.#paramount_plus #taylor_sheridan #billy_bob_thornton #fort_worth_texas #tommy_norris
