'Landman' Creator Confirms Major ‘Reset’ for Season 3
Landman co-creator Christian Wallace has teased that the show is heading towards a "reset" in its third season, with Taylor Sheridan currently writing the script.
The recent finale of Landman's second season saw Tommy (Billy Bob Thornton) set out to form his own family-run company after being fired from M-Tex Oil by Cami (Demi Moore), setting the stage for a very different story in the upcoming season. With many of the characters now separated or heading on different paths, Wallace confirms that the future of the show is currently uncertain.
Will 'Landman' Season 3 Follow The Same Story?
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, the writer confessed that "there’s a great level of trust there that whatever Taylor [Sheridan] decides will be the right move. There are a lot of possibilities, but I’m not sure myself exactly how it’s going to play out. So, we’ll see."
Whatever happens, the dynamics between Landman's central characters will certainly change. While most of the show's main ensemble are confirmed to return, their subplots will undoubtedly be very different. "Now we have T.L., Tommy and Cooper all working at the same company, but not under the auspices of this larger corporation. It’s now family-run, very small, starting from almost scratch. That’s a whole new dynamic for them."
Season two's finale certainly felt like the nail in the coffin for some of Landman's most pressing questions, but Sheridan and Wallace have no plans for this story to end any time soon. "You can definitely expect that we’ll continue to see the range of dynamics that is embedded in this show," Wallace promises.
When Is 'Landman' Season 3 Coming Out?
While no official release date has yet been announced, Wallace seems confident that season three of Landman will be ready by this time next year. "We’re in a groove. We are a little bit later than we were the last two seasons, but that only matters for us because of the heat in Texas."
Given the demanding schedule of filming on-site in Texas during the summer months, this 12-month turnaround for Landman's next season is ambitious. The show has generally done an excellent job being consistent with short gaps between seasons, and there's no indication this will be any different in the future. "I’m excited about the schedule, and I think the rhythm we’re in right now works really well," Wallace admits.
