James Jordan just offered some new insight into when season 3 of Landman is set to start filming following some delays — and he even shared his theory on a potential premiere date.
“I’ve only gotten one [script]. [Creator] Taylor [Sheridan] is in the thick of it as we speak. He’s writing season 2 as we speak,” Jordan, 47, exclusively told Us while promoting season 3 of another Sheridan series, Lioness. “All I’ll tell you is it’s going to be a heck of a ride.”
Jordan hinted that there won’t be a time jump.
“We pick up where we left off and I’m just as excited as you are to see where this story goes. We’re going to get to work,” he continued. “We start work here in about three weeks and we’re going to pump out a great new season for folks.”
While Jordan didn’t have any inside information, he did speculate on a possible return, adding, “The way they edit nowadays, the turnaround is so quick. We might be on the air before the end of the year. I certainly hope so. That little holiday window that we’ve had the last two seasons around Thanksgiving through the end of the year, I think that’s just such a perfect window for Landman.”
He added: “Hopefully we’ll get back to work sooner than later and get the story back out for folks because we love telling it and we love that people are showing up, man. It’s such a riot.”
The hit Paramount series originally premiered in November 2024 after filming began in Texas early that year. Production on season 2 started in 2025 and ended that August, with the episodes airing in November 2025.
Season 3, however, has been dealing with changes. While filming was originally scheduled for May, it got pushed to three months later. Production was delayed again with the new start date seemingly planned for late September.
“I don’t see why if we don’t start sometime after Labor Day — and if we hit the ground running — I don’t see why we can’t have some episodes out by Christmas,” Jordan noted. “Who knows? But I know people cannot wait. I was in the airport the other day and some folks came up to me and they went, ‘What are you doing here?’ And I go, ‘What do you mean?’ And they go, ‘You should be at work! We need more Landman!’ They can’t get enough of it.”
Jordan has been thrilled by the reaction to the show, which also stars Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace and Mark Collie.
“That really tells you that you’re doing something right when people are falling in love with these characters on both Lioness and Landman and they just can’t get enough,” Jordan gushed to Us. “You’re doing something right and that gives us the energy and the excitement to get back to work as soon as we can.”
For now, Jordan has been excited to see the reception to season 3 of Lioness, which airs Sundays on Paramount+.
“I love to go to work on Taylor’s shows and bring these characters to life. He’s done a lot of the heavy lifting for you because what’s on the page is pretty much all you need to know. The audience can fill in a lot of the blanks too with their imagination,” he said. “That emotional investment that they get in these characters forces them to lean in a little closer. But I can’t pick a favorite.”
The actor continued: “What’s interesting about Taylor is he explores frontiers — both metaphorically and literally. right? It’s always a joy to explore the frontier because when you do explore a frontier, you’re exploring the unknown and that can be daunting. That can be scary. It’s a joy to tell these stories though. I love playing Two Cups. I love playing Dale. I can’t pick a favorite. They’re so vastly different. But as long as we trust in Taylor and his storytelling and his imagination, we know it’s going to be a great ride.”
As for the possibility of Two Cups and Dale crossing paths?
“I would love to do an episode of them at a bar and them having a conversation about that week’s baseball game or something. That would be interesting, wouldn’t it?” he quipped. “They’re very different. Two very different stories. They’re both very, very hard to hard to do. It commands my entire focus and concentration to do it and do it well. Because when Taylor entrusts an actor with telling one of his stories and bringing a character to life, all you want to do is show up to work and do your best. So we show up on time. We show up with our lines learned and we show up ready to play. It’s such a pleasure.”
