This Actress Wants Taylor Sheridan to Turn Landman into His Next Yellowstone-Level Hit

Landman is barely out of the gate and the people making it are already talking like it could run for years. Honestly, based on how the show is structured and who is involved, they might not be wrong.

The cast and creators think there is a lot more story to mine

Michelle Randolph, who plays Ainsley Norris, wants back in for more and says the series is built to keep going. Her favorite example: the timeline. Season 1 only covers a tiny window of story time, which leaves a ton of room to expand.

'The first season was 10 days in the show... we could go on and on and on.'

If Landman follows the Yellowstone playbook — Sheridan’s biggest franchise to date — you can see the path. Yellowstone ran five seasons and spun off multiple hits, most of them well-reviewed. Landman has that same wide-open canvas, just set in oil country instead of cattle country.

Behind-the-scenes wrinkle: Sheridan’s clock is ticking, but not fast

Co-creator and executive producer Christian Wallace says they have barely scratched the surface of the West Texas oil world and hopes to keep telling stories as long as people show up for them. The timing matters here: Taylor Sheridan is still under his Paramount deal through the end of 2028. After that, he is set to move to NBCUniversal on a five-year pact and build his next TV sandbox there. Until that switch, he remains involved in all his current franchises — Landman included.

Translation: there is a sizable window to build out sequels and spin-offs before 2028, especially with a cast eager to stick around and a lead in Billy Bob Thornton that viewers clearly like.

Season 3 talk: unofficial, but getting louder

Season 3 is not formally ordered yet, but Puck News says Sheridan will write a third season of Landman. He wrote the first two seasons, while Stephen Kay and Michael Friedman handled directing duties on episodes. And Sam Elliott — yes, Sam Elliott — recently said in an ExtraTV chat that Season 3 is expected to start filming in April or May 2026. That is a pretty specific window for something that is technically unannounced.

Where things stand right now

• Season 2 premiered last November and drops new episodes every Sunday, with the finale scheduled for January 18, 2026.
• Rotten Tomatoes scores so far: Season 1 at 78% Tomatometer and 63% Audience Score; Season 2 at 77% Tomatometer and 39% Audience Score.
• Taylor Sheridan remains at Paramount through 2028, then moves to NBCUniversal for five years. He stays involved with Landman until then.
• Puck News reports Sheridan will write Season 3; Sam Elliott says filming is targeted for April/May 2026.
• Landman is streaming on Paramount+.

My read

Given the short in-world timelines and the size of the oil boom backdrop, Landman has room to sprawl the way Sheridan shows like to do. If Paramount wants a post-Yellowstone tentpole, this is positioned to be it. Want a Landman spin-off? Drop your idea in the comments — there are at least a dozen directions this thing could go.
