Taylor Sheridan’s TV empire does not seem especially interested in slowing down, which is probably bad news for anyone trying to keep up with the man’s production calendar. One of his biggest Paramount+ hits has already been renewed, and now it sounds like the next season is moving quickly behind the scenes. That’s a relief for fans who were worried they might be waiting a long time to get back to the oil fields, family chaos, corporate knives, and Billy Bob Thornton looking like the only adult in a burning building.
Landman Season 3 has received a promising update from returning director Stephen Kay, who confirmed that the team is already editing the new episodes while filming is underway. Speaking at The Hollywood Reporter’s Directors in Focus event, Kay said, “We’re cutting while we’re shooting and so it’ll hopefully be out soon.” That doesn’t give fans an exact release date, but it does suggest that the Paramount+ drama is being built with the same speedy turnaround that has powered several of Sheridan’s recent shows.
The first two seasons also established a very useful rhythm. Season 1 premiered in November 2024, Season 2 arrived in November 2025, and Season 3 is already in motion. If the show can maintain that pattern, a late 2026 return would make a lot of sense, though Paramount+ has not officially announced a premiere date yet. No need to start engraving the oil rig calendar just yet.

Sheridan Has Spoken You Belong In…
The show that claimed the most of your answers is the world you were built for. If two tied, both are shown — you’re complicated enough to straddle two Sheridan universes.

⚖️ Mayor of Kingstown
You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.

You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.
You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.

You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.
