At this point, television seems to exist at the pleasure of Taylor Sheridan, whose slate of shows has created a TV universe that has entertained much of America and the rest of the globe in recent years. Since Yellowstone premiered its first season in 2018, Sheridan has seen success each year as he has continued expanding his television empire. For now, his portfolio continues to grow with the addition of shows like Tulsa King and Lioness, bringing admirable variety to the collection. 2026 has already seen Sheridan introduce two new shows to the world: The Madison and Marshals,the latter a spin-off of Yellowstone. Speaking of, yet another Yellowstone spin-off is on the horizon with the imminent premiere of Dutton Ranch.
Power plays and money are entrenched tools of dominance within Sheridan’s shows, and that has manifested itself in Paramount+’s oil-soaked drama, Landman. Written and produced by Sheridan and Christian Wallace, and having already aired two full seasons on Paramount+, Landman is led by Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris. It is one of Paramount+’s best-performing series and has consistently been breaking records since its arrival on the streaming platform. The second season entrenched the show’s quality in the minds of viewers and the studio wasted no time renewing Landman for a third season, which isn’t surprising.
With renewal out of the way, there is the small matter of a potential release window for Season 3, which will see Tommy split from the corporate world and begin running his own oil company with his son, Cooper Norris (Jacob Lofland). Landman Season 3 will begin in May. This has already been confirmed, opening the way for a release date later in the year. Director Stephen Kay, speaking at a recent event, opened up about when fans can expect a new season of Landman toland on Paramount+. A late 2026 or early 2027 release is likely, with Kay stating that “we’re cutting while we’re shooting and so it’ll hopefully be out soon.“

Four worlds. All of them brutal, complicated, and built on power, loyalty, and the price of survival. Taylor Sheridan doesn’t write heroes — he writes people who do what they have to do and live with the cost. Ten questions will reveal which one of his worlds you were made for.

👑Tulsa King
⚖️Mayor of Kingstown
01
Where does your power come from? In Sheridan’s world, everyone has leverage. The question is what kind.
02
Who do you put first, no matter what? Loyalty in Sheridan’s universe is always absolute — and always costly.
03
Someone crosses a line. How do you respond? Every Sheridan protagonist has a line. What matters is what happens after it’s crossed.
04
Where do you feel most in your element? Sheridan’s worlds are as much about place as they are about people.
05
How do you feel about operating in the grey? Nobody in a Sheridan show has clean hands. The question is how they carry the dirt.
06
What are you actually fighting to hold onto? Every Sheridan character is fighting a war. The real question is what they’re defending.
07
How do you lead? Authority in Sheridan’s world is never given — it’s established, maintained, and constantly tested.
08
Someone new arrives and tries to change how things work. Your reaction? Every Sheridan show has an outsider disrupting an established order. Sometimes that outsider is you.
09
What has your position cost you? Nobody gets to where these characters are without paying for it. The bill is always personal.
10
When it’s over, what do you want people to say? Sheridan’s characters all know the ending is coming. The question is what they leave behind.
Sheridan Has Spoken You Belong In…
The show that claimed the most of your answers is the world you were built for. If two tied, both are shown — you’re complicated enough to straddle two Sheridan universes.
🤠 Yellowstone
🛢️ Landman
👑 Tulsa King
⚖️ Mayor of Kingstown
You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.
You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.
You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.
You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.
Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Landman’ Has Been a Brilliant Hit
Overall, Landman has been well-received, and the show’s rating on Rotten Tomatoes is currently 80%, with the overall critical view stating it was both “engaging” and “exciting.” Within 48 hours of its release, the Season 2 finale of Landman proved record-breaking, drawing in 15.8 million viewers. However, Season 2 hasn’t been the smoothest sailing, as audiences rated it 48% while critics gave it a promising 83%. According to some audience members, Season 2 “doesn’t live up to season 1,” despite an ensemble cast that also includes Demi Moore as Cami Miller, Ali Larter as Angela Norris, Michelle Randolph as Ainsley Norris, Paulina Chavez as Ariana, Kayla Wallace as Rebecca Falcone, and more. Landman Season 3 has the potential to really get into more of the nitty-gritty of these characters’ dynamics and toss up an exhilarating watch for all.
Landman is available to stream on Paramount+. Season 3 does not have a release date yet. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
