Jacob Lofland Anticipates Season 3 with Excitement and Concern
Jacob Lofland is eagerly anticipating the third season of the acclaimed series, Landman. Known for his role as Cooper Norris, Lofland expressed excitement about the upcoming production set to commence in the spring. The second season concluded with a mixture of hope and tension, particularly as the fearless Tommy Norris, played by Billy Bob Thornton, established a new oil company amidst looming threats from cartel boss Gallino (Andy Garcia).
Season Two Wrap-Up and Season Three Expectations
The finale of Season Two ended on a positive note with the launch of CTT Oil Exploration & Cattle, yet complications from Gallino’s dark influence challenge the newfound success. Lofland commented on the gravity of the threats posed by Gallino, stating, “The calmness behind that threat is what makes me scared.” His character, Cooper Norris, faces new dramatic dimensions as he navigates the complexities of family loyalty and safety.
Character Development and Challenges Ahead
Lofland discussed how the intense experiences of Season Two will shape Cooper in the upcoming season. The season finale highlighted Cooper’s promotion to president of CTT Oil, a twist that surprised Lofland. It exemplifies the trust Tommy has in him, yet it brings a significant emotional load as the characters deal with traumatic events. Lofland shared, “I don’t have any idea yet, but I’m guessing they’re both going to be carrying their own weight going into season three.”

Filming the penultimate episode, which involved intense action, was particularly challenging for Lofland and his co-star Paulina Chávez, who portrays Cooper’s fiancée, Ariana. After reading the script for the gripping scene, both actors were determined to approach it authentically. Lofland remarked on the heavy emotions carried during filming, noting, “It was an incredibly heavy day, but we all came out of it safe.”

As Season Three gears up, Lofland is interested to see how Cooper will deal with the aftermath of the intense experiences from Season Two.
