No.

Billy Bob Thornton has revealed that he has signed on for four or five seasons, so he will return in his role as Tommy Norris.

Thornton refuted rumors that he's leaving the show in an interview with USA Today, calling the rumors "AI-generated crap."

"They have nothing to do with reality."

Other cast members who are likely to return include Moore, Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland and Michelle Randolph, as well as Jordan, Kayla Wallace, Paulina Chavez and Mark Collie.

Colm Feore played the recurring character of attorney Nathan in Season 1. His character was a series regular in Season 2 of Landman, and he seems likely to return for Season 3 in an even larger capacity.

Paramount has not provided a timeline for Landman Season 3.

Forbes initially speculated that Season 3 would debut in November of 2026, following the pattern of the first two seasons.

However, Jordan talked to Us Weekly on the red carpet at the premiere of Lioness Season 3 on July 29, and he said Landman would begin shooting its third season "sometime in September and we’ll shoot that through the first quarter of next year."

Jordan's timeline means the earliest fans might see Landman Season 3 would be the second quarter of 2027.

"Then we should have it out … I don’t know when," Jordan added. "It’s up to the powers that be, but we’re very excited to get started on that.”
