Viewers just received an update on Landman as season 3 continues to go through major filming delays.
Paramount+’s head of originals, Jane Wiseman, spoke with Deadline on Monday, August 17, about the future of the show, saying, “Between Tulsa King and Landman, which Yana Grebenyuk Taylor [Sheridan] is writing right now, Frisco King, Dutton Ranch, The Madison, we have a lot of business, and we’re going to be in business for time to come.”
Wiseman credited Sheridan’s vast TV empire for bringing in more audience members.
“We are definitely developing a lot; we’ve announced seven scripted drama greenlights in the last 10 months, so it does feel like there’s volume. And then we have a lot on the runway that we haven’t announced yet,” she teased. “So, to me, what we don’t want to do is scale so big so fast. We want to be very deliberate in our choices. We want to stay on strategy. We want to curate what we have, but we also want to take care of the Sheridan audience, the Taylorverse.”
Sheridan, 56, originally started off as an actor before he pivoted to writing movie scripts. He shifted his focus to TV with Paramount Network’s Yellowstone, which aired from 2018 to 2024. Sheridan has also worked on original shows Landman, Lioness, Tulsa King and more.
News broke in October 2025 that Sheridan had closed a major with NBCUniversal. The five-year overall deal for film, TV and streaming will begin January 1, 2029, after Sheridan’s TV deal with Paramount — which goes through 2028 — officially ends.
Paramount will retain the rights to Yellowstone and the other franchises Sheridan created under his deal with the company, so he is expected to create brand-new property for NBCUniversal. Sheridan’s move came after Paramount’s merger with Skydance Media.
Landman, meanwhile, premiered in November 2024 after filming began in Texas early that year. Production on season 2 started in April 2025 and ended that August, with the episodes airing in November 2025.
Season 3, however, has been plagued with changes. While filming was originally scheduled for May 2026, it got pushed to three months later. Production was apparently delayed again, as actor James Jordan confirmed exclusively to Us that filming would start in September.
“It’s going to be fantastic. Taylor is writing as we speak. It’s going to be 10 crazy, wonderful, funny and wild episodes — just like season 1 and season 2 have been. Billy Bob [Thornton] and everybody, we’re all ready to get back to work,” he shared in July. “I believe we’re bringing back the same director, Stephen Kay, who I adore. So it’s going to be a great ride.”
Jordan continued: “We start that sometime in September, and we’ll shoot that through the first quarter of next year. Then we should have it out … I don’t know when. It’s up to the powers that be, but we’re very excited to get started on that.”
While no reason was given for the delay, the news about Landman’s production change came after the last of the show’s stars secured raises in June. According to Deadline, the entire original cast — outside of Thornton — successfully negotiated paycheck increases. (Thornton, who plays Tommy, reportedly has a separate three-year deal with standard year-to-year increases. He would be up for negotiating a new contract if Landman is renewed for a fourth season.)
