Paramount+ 'Landman' Season 3 Begins Filming in Texas with Four New Series Regulars
Paramount+ has confirmed that production for the third season of 'Landman' has officially begun in Fort Worth, Texas. The oil industry drama, which has become a major hit for the streamer, is expanding its core cast by promoting four actors to series regular status. The show, co-created by Taylor Sheridan, continues its run despite the creator's upcoming move to NBCUniversal.
Key points
- Production for 'Landman' Season 3 has started in Fort Worth, Texas, with filming expected to continue through the fall.
- Colm Feore, Mustafa Speaks, Bobbi Salvor Menuez, and Francesca Xuereb have been promoted to series regulars for the new season.
- Michael Kelly was previously announced to join the cast as a series regular, playing William Crockett, the head of a major oil-management firm.
- The series is produced by Paramount Television Studios, 101 Studios, and Sheridan's Bosque Ranch Productions.
- The show is set to return to Paramount+ in 2027, with an estimated release window between spring and summer.
Background
The series has been a significant success for Paramount+, averaging over 14 million viewers per episode in early 2026. In September 2026, it was announced that Michael Kelly would join the cast as a series regular for Season 3, playing William Crockett. The show is based on the 'Boomtown' podcast and explores the oil industry in West Texas.
How outlets are covering it
Variety and The Hollywood Reporter both confirmed the start of production and the promotions of Feore, Speaks, Menuez, and Xuereb to series regulars. Variety noted the show's high viewership numbers, while The Hollywood Reporter emphasized the long-term vision for the series despite Taylor Sheridan's move to NBCUniversal. Fox News highlighted the production start through a set photo shared by James Jordan and predicted a 2027 release window. Yahoo's coverage was largely obscured by technical errors but referenced the show's return to the Paramount+ Top 10.
Why it matters
The expansion of the cast and the confirmation of production indicate that 'Landman' is a priority for Paramount+ and a key part of Taylor Sheridan's output before his move to NBCUniversal. The show's strong performance and the addition of new regulars suggest a continued focus on the oil industry drama for the 2027 season.
What to watch
Production is expected to continue through the fall, with a release window for Season 3 estimated between spring and summer 2027. The show's future beyond Season 3 remains a topic of discussion, with Thornton expressing a vision for multiple seasons.
