Landman isn’t slowing down — not in West Texas, not on Paramount+, and definitely not in the cultural zeitgeist.
Paramount+ has officially renewed Taylor Sheridan’s oil-soaked drama for a third season, to the surprise of absolutely no one.
Season 2 has been a bruiser, both on-screen and in the numbers, and the streamer clearly knows when it’s sitting on a gusher.
The Season 2 premiere, which dropped on November 16, didn’t just perform well — it blew the well wide open.
According to Paramount+, the episode racked up more than 9.2 million streaming views in its first two days, a staggering 262% jump from the Landman Season 1 premiere.
That makes it the most-watched premiere of any original series on the service, which is… well, a nifty little milestone.
And the momentum didn’t stop there.
Nielsen’s preliminary data suggests Landman will land as a top three series among all original content the week of November 17, and climb even higher to become a top two series for the week of November 24.
For a show that thrives on high-stakes brinksmanship, it’s almost poetic that its viewership seems to be doing the same.
Landman Season 2 has already delivered some of the most emotionally volatile, pressure-cooker storytelling in Sheridan’s universe, with Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) spiraling under the weight of M-Tex Oil, Cami Miller’s maneuvering, and the ghosts of his past.
Each episode tightens the vise — survival, as the press release notes, “isn’t noble, it’s brutal,” and viewers have clearly responded to that grit.
The star-powered ensemble only continues to elevate the drama.
Thornton leads a cast that includes Demi Moore, Andy Garcia, Sam Elliott, Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, and Paulina Chávez, among others — a lineup that feels almost engineered to keep eyes glued to the screen each Sunday.
Behind the camera, Sheridan and Christian Wallace return as co-creators, with Sheridan executive producing alongside a stacked roster including David C. Glasser, Bob Yari, Billy Bob Thornton, and others.
The series continues to be produced in partnership with Paramount Television Studios, 101 Studios, and Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch Productions.
While Season 2 has been all about secrets rising with the oil, betrayals hardening in the West Texas sun, and Tommy’s slow-motion detonation, the renewal signals that the drill is far from dry.
Landman Season 3 will presumably continue exploring the uneasy alliances, economic warfare, and personal reckoning that define this world.
Considering how Season 2 has ramped up, it’s safe to assume those stakes are only going skyward.
Paramount+ will continue rolling out new episodes of Landman Season 2 every Sunday, giving viewers plenty of time to speculate about what Season 3 might look like — and whether anyone in this universe makes it out clean.
If anyone had any doubts, we can lay them to rest now. Landman is no longer just a sleeper hit. It’s a full-blown powerhouse.
