Landman season 3 filming reportedly delayed as production slips to September
Production on the third season of Taylor Sheridan's oil drama Landman has reportedly been pushed back to September, with filming expected to run into early 2027 — leaving Paramount+ subscribers facing a longer wait for the.
Filming on Landman season 3 has reportedly been delayed, with production pushed back to September and expected to continue through the first quarter of 2027. The Taylor Sheridan drama, starring Billy Bob Thornton, has been renewed for a third season, but no premiere date has been announced.
Filming on the third season of Landman has been pushed back to September, according to reports, with production now expected to run through the first quarter of 2027. The delay affects one of Paramount+'s flagship dramas, which had already been renewed for a third season. Landman, created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace and based on the podcast Boomtown, stars Billy Bob Thornton as a landman working for an oil company. The series premiered on Paramount+ on November 17, 2024, was renewed for a second season in March 2025, and returned on November 16, 2025. James Jordan, who plays Dale, has discussed his character's return and the season 3 filming timeline in interviews. The reported slip matters because it breaks the show's rapid annual rhythm and pushes its return further out, even as Paramount+ leans heavily on Sheridan's expanding slate. It also comes amid reports about the cast's contracts, including Thornton's three-year deal and a new agreement bringing Moore's pay to parity with his.
Landman season 3 filming pushed back to September, reports say
Production on Landman's third season has reportedly been pushed back, with filming now expected to begin in September rather than on its earlier schedule. According to reports from outlets including Decider and Us Weekly, the shoot is expected to run through the first quarter of 2027. These claims remain unconfirmed, and Paramount+ has not publicly laid out a production timeline.
The delay extends an already lengthy wait for viewers. The series, created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace and based on the podcast Boomtown, premiered on Paramount+ on November 17, 2024. It was renewed for a second season in March 2025, and that season premiered on November 16, 2025. The show has since been renewed for a third season, but no premiere date has been announced.
If the reported schedule holds, with filming starting in September and continuing into early 2027, a season 3 debut would appear unlikely before late 2027 at the earliest — a notably longer gap than the roughly one-year turnaround between the first two seasons.
What the cast has said about the delay and their deals
James Jordan, who plays Dale, has spoken in interviews about his character's return and offered a filming timeline for the new season. The specific details he described, however, have not been confirmed by Paramount+ or the production, and should be treated as his account rather than official scheduling.
The delay has also drawn attention to the cast's contract situation. According to reports, Billy Bob Thornton, who stars as a landman working for an oil company, is on a three-year deal with standard year-to-year increases, and could negotiate a new contract should the series be renewed for a fourth season. Reports also suggest a new deal for Moore has brought her pay to parity with Thornton, though neither the timing nor the terms of that agreement have been publicly confirmed.
Neither Thornton nor the show's co-creators, Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, have addressed the reported production delay directly.
Landman's rapid rise on Paramount+
Landman was created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, adapted from Wallace's podcast Boomtown. Billy Bob Thornton stars as a landman working for an oil company, a role that placed him at the centre of one of Paramount+'s flagship dramas.
The series premiered on the streaming service on November 17, 2024. Its trajectory since then has been swift: Paramount+ renewed it for a second season in March 2025, only months after its debut, and that follow-up season arrived on November 16, 2025 — almost exactly a year after the first. A third-season renewal followed, keeping the show on a rapid annual cadence that has made it a fixture of the platform's schedule. That pace now faces its first significant interruption, with the timeline for the next instalment slipping beyond the pattern set by its first two seasons.

Where Landman fits in Paramount+'s crowded slate
The delay lands at a busy moment for Paramount+. According to Decider's July 2026 coverage, the service's slate has been packed: Dutton Ranch, another Taylor Sheridan property, aired its Season 1 finale on the platform on July 3, 2026, and had already been renewed for another season by mid-month. Around the same period, the fourth season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds premiered on Paramount+, while the series finale of The Chi also became available on the service, Decider reported. Against that backdrop, Landman remains one of the streamer's flagship originals, and any slippage in its production calendar matters for a platform leaning heavily on Sheridan's expanding stable of shows.
