Landman Season 3 Officially Premieres November 2026: The Opening Episode Unveils the Deadly Consequences of Tommy’s Cartel Pact

LOS ANGELES — The wait is finally over for fans of Taylor Sheridan’s hit Texas drama. Paramount+ has confirmed that Landman will return for its highly anticipated third season in November 2026. Following the intense setup of the Season 2 finale, the upcoming season promises to immediately thrust viewers back into the ruthless world of the oil boom, opening with a high-stakes cliffhanger that leaves the Norris family’s fate hanging by a thread.

Production in Full Swing

Cameras are officially rolling as of May 2026. Leading man Billy Bob Thornton confirmed that principal photography for Season 3 is well underway, with production strategically scheduled before he embarks on his summer music tour.

To ensure the series meets its traditional November release window, the production team is employing a rapid post-production strategy. Director Stephen Kay recently revealed that the crew is actively editing episodes concurrently with the ongoing shoot. This simultaneous production-to-post pipeline allows Paramount+ to maintain Sheridan’s remarkably consistent annual release cycle, minimizing the wait time for fans.

A High-Stakes Opening Cliffhanger

While Season 2 ended with the seemingly triumphant establishment of Tommy Norris’s new venture, CTT Oil Exploration and Cattle, that success comes with a deadly string attached. Showrunners have teased that the Season 3 premiere will not waste time exploring the “honeymoon phase” of the new business.

Instead, the opening episode drops viewers right into the fire with a massive cliffhanger revolving around the $62 million seed money funded by cartel boss Gallino (played by Andy Garcia). The premiere will immediately address Gallino’s ominous threats from last season, exploring the terrifying reality of what happens when a cartel comes to collect. The opening sequence is set to test the absolute limits of Tommy’s resourcefulness as he fights to shield his family from the violent consequences of his financial pact.

Projected Release Schedule

Assuming the new season follows the established blueprint of its predecessors, fans can expect the following release format on Paramount+:

Premiere Date: Mid-November 2026 (Expected to premiere on a Sunday).

Episode Count: 10 episodes.

Release Cadence: Weekly Sunday drops.

Catch up on Landman: What happened in Seasons 1 and 2?

SPOILER ALERT: Below, we will discuss Landman Season 1, and what we know so far about Landman Season 2. Proceed with caution!

In Landman Season 1, we’re dropped into the oil fields of West Texas, and we meet the players of M-Tex Oil, including boots-on-the-ground exec Tommy Norris (Thornton), CEO Monty Miller (Jon Hamm), Monty’s wife Cami (Oscar® nominee Demi Moore), and Tommy’s earnest, entrepreneurial son Cooper (Jacob Lofland). By the season finale, with an ailing Monty on the verge of death, Tommy assumes the role of M-Tex president – and is terrorized by heavies from a Mexican drug cartel.

In Landman Season 2, Cami steps out of her late husband’s shadow to assume control of M-Tex. Meanwhile, Tommy (who was spared a grisly fate by the cartel boss Gallino, played by Oscar® nominee Andy Garcia) juggles an ever-complicated work and home life, the latter of which now includes his father, T.L. (Oscar® nominee Sam Elliott). Cooper sees his oil fortunes rise – and his love life with Ariana (Paulina Chávez) move toward marriage.
