By: Jason Date: 15 Feb 2026 The rumor that wouldn’t die By the time Landman wrapped its second season, it had already become one of those modern streaming phenomena that seems to live in two parallel worlds. In the first world—the one inside the show—West Texas is a pressure cooker of mo

• Landman Season 3: The $62 Million Gamble

  For two seasons, Tommy Norris has been the ultimate fixer—a man whose job description is essentially managing chaos in a landscape where every handshake is dirty and every deal has a casualty count. But as the dust settles on the explosive Season 2 finale, the game has fundamentally changed. We are no longer watching a man putting out fires for M-Tex Oil; we are watching a man who has decided to light the match himself. The launch of CTT Oil Exploration and Cattle isn't just a business pivot; it

• Landman Season 2 Episode 7: Real Oil Industry Science, Risk, and Strategy

  While viewers tune into Paramount+’s Landman for the explosive relationship drama between Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) and his family, Season 2 has increasingly leaned into the high-stakes technicalities of the energy sector. Episode 7, "Forever Is an Instant," dropped significant exposition regarding offshore drilling, geological risks, and corporate liability.

This isn't an episode built around explosive confrontations or shocking twists. There's no cartel shootout, no drilling disaster, no courtroom drama. Instead, Taylor Sheridan gives us something far more audacious: an entire hour of television comprised of the moments other shows would cut. The lo
