LANDMAN SEASON 3: EMPIRE ON THE BRINK – CARTEL WAR ERUPTS AS TOMMY NORRIS FACES ULTIMATE BETRAYAL

The oil fields of West Texas are about to ignite in ways no one saw coming. Paramount+’s hit drama Landman, created by Taylor Sheridan, has officially been renewed for Season 3 since December 2025, and whispers of a leaked trailer have fans in a frenzy. Set against the ruthless backdrop of the energy industry, the upcoming season promises to deliver high-stakes drama, family fractures, and deadly cartel threats that could shatter Tommy Norris’s hard-won empire.

At the heart of the chaos is Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton), the grizzled crisis manager who clawed his way from fixer to founder of CTT Oil. After being unceremoniously fired by ex-boss and former flame Cami Miller (Demi Moore) at the end of Season 2, Tommy struck a dangerous deal with cartel-connected investor Dan “Gallino” Morrell (Andy Garcia). He poached key M-Tex staff—including his own son Cooper (Jacob Lofland)—to fulfill a massive drilling contract, turning CTT into a legitimate powerhouse. But Gallino’s money comes with strings: one wrong move, and the cartel boss has vowed, “If this goes south, I take what you love most.”

Leaked trailer footage—circulating on YouTube and social media—shows Tommy staring down a tense confrontation in a dimly lit office, Gallino’s chilling warning echoing as shadows loom. Explosions rock oil rigs under suspicious circumstances, hinting at sabotage or retaliation. Cami, now on her knees in a heartbreaking plea, begs Tommy to reconsider their fractured partnership and personal history. “We built this together,” she whispers, tears streaming, as old flames and fresh betrayals collide.

Adding fuel to the fire is T.L. Norris (Sam Elliott), Tommy’s tough-as-nails father, who returns with grim warnings of impending doom. “This ain’t just business anymore, son—it’s survival,” T.L. growls in one intense scene. Cooper, caught between loyalty to his father and the pressures of running CTT as president, faces moral dilemmas that could cost him everything. Will he side with Tommy’s risky empire or seek a way out before the cartel closes in?

The leaked material teases massive set pieces: blazing infernos on drilling sites, high-speed chases through dusty plains, and tense family showdowns where blood ties are tested to the breaking point. Production is slated to ramp up in spring 2026 (April or May, per Sam Elliott’s recent comments), with a likely premiere in November 2026 on Paramount+, following the show’s established fall rollout pattern.

Creator Taylor Sheridan continues his signature blend of gritty realism and emotional depth, exploring how ambition in the cutthroat oil world intersects with cartel influence, corporate greed, and personal redemption. Fans speculate Cami’s revenge plot might backfire spectacularly, while Tommy’s alliance with Gallino could implode in spectacular fashion—potentially endangering Cooper, Ainsley (Michelle Randolph), and the entire Norris clan.

As one insider put it: “Season 3 isn’t just about oil—it’s about what happens when the empire you built starts burning from the inside.” With the trailer leak sparking massive online buzz, anticipation is at fever pitch. Will Tommy protect his family from Gallino’s wrath? Can fractured relationships heal before it’s too late?

One thing is clear: Landman Season 3 is shaping up to be an explosive battle for power, loyalty, and survival. Paramount+ subscribers, get ready—this war is just beginning.
