Landman is gearing up for a dramatic finish to its second season — and fans are already looking ahead. With betrayals unfolding, family tensions boiling over and the future of M-Tex Oil hanging in the balance, the Taylor Sheridan drama has left viewers with plenty of unanswered questions.
The biggest one? Whether Landman will be back for a third season.
Here’s what’s been confirmed so far, what the ending of Season 2 sets up next, and what Australian viewers should know about the show’s future on Paramount+.
Season 2 Builds Toward a High-Stakes Finale
Season 2 of Landman is ending exactly how it began — with pressure, power plays and personal consequences colliding in the oil fields of West Texas.
In the penultimate episode, work finally begins on M-Tex Oil’s offshore natural gas rig, a project that has divided nearly everyone involved. Cami Miller (Demi Moore), newly assertive and determined to push the company forward, fires Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton), declaring that the president of an oil company “can’t be averse to the very thing that built it”.
It’s a stunning move, but it’s unlikely to mark the end of Tommy’s influence. Despite being pushed out, he remains deeply entangled in the business and political manoeuvring that define the series.
For much of the season, Tommy and Cami have clashed over whether rebuilding the offshore rig is worth the risk. Aside from Cami — and possibly Gallino (Andy Garcia) — most characters see the plan as reckless. That tension has driven the show’s central conflict and raised the stakes heading into the finale.
Trouble Deepens for the Norris Family
Away from the boardroom battles, the Norris family is facing its own reckoning.
Tommy’s son, Cooper (Jacob Lofland), is caught in a life-altering situation after nearly killing a man who tried to assault his fiancée, Ariana. The violent confrontation is fully captured on security cameras, leaving Cooper’s fate uncertain as legal consequences loom.
At the same time, Ainsley (Michelle Randolph) heads off to a week-long cheerleading camp — an escape that quickly turns sour when she finds herself stuck with what can only be described as a nightmare roommate.
These parallel storylines reinforce what Landman does best: showing how the pursuit of wealth and power ripples outward, affecting families just as much as fortunes.
What Landman Is Really About
Set against the backdrop of West Texas boomtowns, Landman tells what its official synopsis describes as a “modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs”.
The series leans into the idea that as oil is pulled from the ground, secrets inevitably rise with it. Tommy Norris, long positioned as the man who can handle pressure, is shown inching closer to his breaking point with each episode.

Season 2 has pushed that idea further than ever, suggesting that survival in this world isn’t about doing the right thing — it’s about doing whatever it takes.
What Season 3 Could Explore Next
If Season 2 has shown anything, it’s that the consequences of past decisions are catching up fast.
The show’s Season 3 logline hints that Tommy’s struggle is far from over. Facing mounting pressure from M-Tex Oil, Cami Miller and the long shadow of his own family, the next chapter promises to test how much more he can endure.

In West Texas, the series reminds viewers, survival isn’t noble — it’s brutal. And eventually, something has to give.
Has Landman Been Renewed for Season 3?
Yes. Paramount+ has already confirmed that Landman will return for a third season.
The renewal came shortly after the series premiered, following a strong debut that delivered record-breaking numbers for the streaming platform. According to Paramount+, the first episode attracted more than 9.2 million streaming views in its first two days, setting new viewership records.
That level of performance made the renewal decision straightforward and cemented Landman as a key title in Paramount+’s drama slate.
When Will Season 3 Be Released?
A release date for Season 3 has not yet been announced.
The series premiered on Paramount+ on Nov. 17, 2024, with Season 2 arriving almost exactly a year later on Nov. 16, 2025. Based on that pattern, Season 3 is expected to land sometime in the final quarter of 2026, although Paramount+ has not confirmed a timeline.
