It's Officially the End of an Era for 'Landman'
MovieWeb • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Taylor Sheridan, known for creating hit series like Yellowstone, has built a prolific television empire on Paramount+ with multiple shows, including the popular Landman starring Billy Bob Thornton.
- Landman maintained a yearly release schedule for its first two seasons, premiering in November 2024 and 2025, but Season 3's production is delayed until September 2026, pushing its release to an unconfirmed date in 2027.
- The delay in Landman’s release reflects a broader issue as Sheridan juggles seven ongoing series and a spin-off, with heavy involvement as showrunner and sole scriptwriter on several shows, stretching his capacity.
- Sheridan’s demanding schedule, combined with his refusal to use writers' rooms, may increasingly impact production timelines across his television projects, despite strong viewer interest demonstrated by shows like Lioness.
- With Sheridan’s Paramount+ contract ending in 2028 and a new deal with NBCUniversal signed, Paramount+ aims to maximize Sheridan content before then, but his workload and production delays could affect the frequency of new releases.
