Although Taylor Sheridan’s exit news came out in late October, it won’t happen until Jan. 1, 2029. Until then, there are more shows and seasons left to explore. Cast members Mustafa Speaks and Mark Collie both addressed the mogul’s looming exit, and his possible involvement in the show, even with his upcoming departure.
Speaks highlighted he couldn’t detail how Sheridan’s departure will affect the show, pointing out that, “I just know with Taylor, there’s always going to be a level of excitement, always going to be a level of unpredictability and intensity that the fans always know and love.”
Collie was even more confident that the show “it’s just going to keep on rocking.” He teased, “I think he’ll be involved at some level and whatever level that is, it’s going to take this show to the next level.”
Showrunner Christian Wallace, who co-created the drama series with Sheridan, pointed out that there’s still “a lot of runway” until the creator’s contract expires. Sheridan wrote all 20 episodes so far. However, he did tease that they would “keep drilling,” regardless. Wallace explained, “The thing about this show is there are so many ways that this can go, and the world is so vast and big. It’s full of stories, and so far we’re two seasons in and we’ve barely skimmed the surface of what we can do and what we want to do. So I just think that there’s a lot of runway left, and as long as there’s a story to tell and people are there for it, I hope we get to keep telling it.”
While it has yet to be confirmed, Landman is likely to return with Season 3, as well. With Sheridan’s contract up at the end of 2028, the show could easily still go up to Season 4 or 5 by then, and further branch out like Sheridan’s flagship series, Yellowstone.
Landman Season 2 Debuted With Positive Rotten Tomatoes Scores
It’s not difficult for a show to start strong and lose its momentum as more entries follow. However, similar to the rest of the Sheridanverse, Landman proves the opposite. After a stellar debut in November 2024, Season 2 is about to premiere and has already convinced some of the critics.
While the review admits Billy Bob Thornton carries the series, it points out its female characters are “written to be caricatures mocking feminity and giving the male characters a good reason to look smart,” calling them “the traditional definition of the male gaze.”
Landman returns with Season 2 on Nov. 16 on Paramount+.
