Creator Hints at Season 3 Reset, Discusses Billy Bob’s Full Frontal Scene
Landman, the critically acclaimed series from creators Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, is gearing up for a significant reset in its upcoming third season. This shift comes on the heels of the season two finale, titled “Tragedy and Flies,” which showcased pivotal developments for key characters, especially Tommy Norris, portrayed by Billy Bob Thornton.
Key Developments from Season Two Finale
In the finale, Cami, played by Demi Moore, fires Tommy from M-Tex Oil, a company he navigated after the death of his friend Monty, played by Jon Hamm. This event propels Tommy to establish his family-run oil enterprise, CTT Oil, named after the Norris family members—Tommy, his son Cooper (Jacob Lofland), and grandfather T.L. (Sam Elliott).
The Deal with the Cartel
- Tommy’s new venture leads him to strike a risky partnership with cartel boss Gallino (Andy Garcia).
- Gallino warns Tommy that failing in this endeavor could jeopardize everything he loves.
Christian Wallace stated that the team is in a “wait-and-see mode” as Sheridan begins crafting season three. The show promises to explore the dynamics of a smaller, family-run business, moving away from the larger corporation setup that characterized previous seasons.
A New Direction for Season Three
Wallace hinted that the upcoming season would reinvent character relationships and narratives. The switch to a family-run oil company introduces new tensions and potentials, exemplified by the gambling motifs evident in season two.
Production Insights
Filming for season three is expected to resume in May, with a potential release around the same time next year. Wallace emphasized the production challenges they face, particularly the extreme Texas heat, which can lead to grueling twelve-hour shooting days.
Character Evolution and Storylines
Tommy’s growth throughout season two sets the stage for exciting developments. He must grapple with threats, such as those posed by Gallino, while navigating new ventures with his family. Discussions surrounding other key characters like Cami also suggest their roles will evolve in unforeseen ways.
Noteworthy Scenes and Community Reactions
A notable moment in season two featured Billy Bob Thornton’s full-frontal scene, which was executed with the help of an intimacy coordinator and a prosthetic. Viewers responded strongly to this provocative storyline, reflecting the show’s willingness to tackle controversial subjects.
Looking Ahead
Wallace indicated that season three will largely follow the established storytelling timeline, maintaining the intense pace over a condensed period of about two weeks. This format will continue to accommodate the multifaceted lives of characters, ranging from oil field dynamics to collegiate adventures.
Landman’s focus on family ties amidst a backdrop of the gritty oil industry promises to keep viewers engaged as the show delves deeper into both personal and professional challenges. With returning cast members and new narratives, fans can look forward to a riveting season ahead.
