Paramount+ premiered the drama ‘Landman’ in November 2024, starring Billy Bob Thornton in the lead role as an oil rig landman in West Texas. The second season of the drama series was released a year later on the streaming service. However, in October 2025, concerns arose among fans following reports that the co-creator of the show, Taylor Sheridan, had signed a film deal with NBCUniversal. This deal signified the end of Sheridan’s run with Paramount by 2028, raising questions about the future of ‘Landman.’

Sheridan, known for producing popular series like Yellowstone, assured fans that there is still “a lot of runway left” for ‘Landman’ despite his new deal. He emphasized his commitment to continuing the series and maintaining the integrity of the characters and storylines. The show’s co-creator, Christian Wallace, expressed his trust in Sheridan’s vision and dedication to the show’s success, alleviating some concerns about the impact of the deal on the immediate future of ‘Landman.’
For viewers interested in watching ‘Landman,’ the series is available exclusively on Paramount+. Season 1 with all 10 episodes can be streamed, while new episodes from Season 2 are released every Sunday. Additionally, for those without a Paramount+ subscription, episodes and full seasons of the show can also be purchased on platforms such as YouTube, Apple TV, Prime Video, and Fandango.
Although Sheridan’s departure from Paramount for NBCUniversal will not take full effect until 2029, the rights to ‘Landman’ remain with Paramount. This continuity suggests that the show’s future is secure despite the creator’s new venture. While the series has not yet been renewed for a third season, Wallace expressed readiness to continue the story as long as the narrative remains compelling and enjoyable for both the creators and audience alike.
Billy Bob Thornton, who plays a pivotal role in ‘Landman,’ shared his confidence in Sheridan’s abilities and envisioned success for the show under any circumstances. Alongside costar Sam Elliott, Thornton reassured fans that the series would not be impacted by Sheridan’s departure as the existing projects at Paramount would stay within the network. The cast’s faith in Sheridan’s creative prowess bodes well for the future of ‘Landman’ despite the changes behind the scenes.
As the drama unfolds both on and off-screen, fans can expect to witness the oil crisis manager’s journey in Texas continue to captivate audiences. With a stellar cast and a dedicated production team, ‘Landman’ remains a compelling watch for viewers eager to explore the complexities of the oil industry in West Texas. Stay tuned for more updates on the future of ‘Landman’ and the unfolding developments within the realm of Taylor Sheridan’s evolving creative landscape.
