[This article contains significant spoilers from the Landman season two finale, “Tragedy and Flies.”]
Landman is poised for a transformation in its upcoming third season.
In the season two finale of the widely-acclaimed series co-created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, Billy Bob Thornton’s character, Tommy Norris, decides to venture out on his own after being dismissed by Cami (Demi Moore) from M-Tex Oil. To kickstart his family-owned venture, CTT Oil, named after the Norris men, Tommy strikes a dangerous deal with cartel leader Gallino (Andy Garcia), who warns him of dire consequences should their partnership falter.
Wallace mentions they are in a wait-and-see stance as Sheridan crafts the third season. He expresses confidence that whatever direction Taylor chooses will be the right one. However, he confirms that season three will serve as a reset for the series, focusing on the efforts of Tommy and his family as they build CTT Oil from the ground up.
The show will explore new dynamics among characters, with T.L., Tommy, and Cooper working together within a small family-run business. Wallace highlights the theme of gambling woven throughout the season, noting how characters are taking significant risks, especially Tommy, as he bets on himself after experiencing personal growth during season two.
He acknowledges the production challenges, especially the intense Texas heat, but expresses excitement for the upcoming schedule and the direction of the show. Wallace also discusses the opportunity for more character development and storylines, particularly involving family dynamics and the gritty realities of the oil industry.
Viewers can expect to see a blend of varied storylines, including Ainsley’s ongoing college journey and potential developments in Cami’s role, though discussions about her return are still speculative. Season three promises to delve deeper into the oil fields and continue character arcs established in earlier episodes.
Finally, Landman is currently available for streaming, with all episodes of season two accessible on Paramount+.
