Key Highlights
- Serious news on production for the upcoming Landman season.
- Filming expected to start in September and continue into Q1 2027.
- Billy Bob Thornton cited music commitments as a scheduling factor.
- Taylor Sheridan juggling plenty of projects keeps things busy.
You might think this is new, but you know how we do it when the studio says “it’s all going great.”
The Landman fans are in a bind. They got Season 3 happening news. That sounds like good stuff on paper.
Better to hear that bad news first before they get their hopes up too high again.
Schedule Slippage and Production Reality
The Paramount+ drama has been delayed significantly from what was promised earlier this year.
Fans had even hoped production would begin in the spring according to initial reports back then.
Billy Bob Thornton later said filming was expected to start toward the end of August before that too. Now, with production potentially running into early next year, a Season 3 premiere in the next few months appears to be off the table.
The latest update comes from series star James Jordan regarding Dale Bradley specifically.
Filming is now expected to begin sometime in September and continue through the first quarter of 2027. That marks a significant shift away from their usual schedule where both previous seasons premiered in November last time.
The Taylor Sheridan Factor
This isn’t just one actor’s problem, it is an industry-wide issue sometimes.
Taylor Sheridan juggling plenty of projects means things are getting a little busy for everyone involved here.
You have to wonder if he will find time in the calendar before Q1 2027 arrives fully. There doesn’t seem to be any reason for Landman fans to worry about the show’s future at all though.
The series is renewed and moving forward while this holdup simply comes down to production schedule management after all.
Billy Bob Thornton previously explained that filming was expected to begin later than originally planned due to his own music commitments among the scheduling considerations. It adds up quickly when you factor in multiple major releases simultaneously like this season does.
Cast Returns and Episode Count
Jordan’s latest update suggests the production timeline has shifted again with filming now expected to begin in September.
The Season 3 cast is expected to include several familiar faces from the first two seasons as well. Thornton is expected to return as Tommy, while James Jordan will be back playing Dale Bradley for sure too.
Demi Moore, Ali Larter, Michelle Randolph, Jacob Lofland, Paulina Chávez, Colm Feore, Kayla Wallace, and Sam Elliott have all been associated with the show’s returning ensemble in various sources. So we are talking about a full roster here rather than just main cast.
In the meantime there is always one solution available for those desperate to see Tommy Norris back in action immediately now.
It’s time for a Landman rewatch before they wait until 2027 finally.
Jordan has teased that Season 3 will consist of 10 episodes describing them as crazy, wonderful, funny, and wild. When fans last saw Tommy his life had taken a major turn after being fired from M-Tex Oil previously in the show’s timeline too.
The production is going to take longer than expected but there is plenty of Landman still ahead eventually according to Jordan’s comments on things moving forward anyway.
You can’t help but wonder if Tommy Norris strikes out as a new character arc or just tries something else entirely. The wait will be worth it so don’t worry too much about the delay itself right now though while we are all waiting for Paramount+ news updates from them directly on any potential premiere dates.
