The Future of Taylor Sheridan’s TV Empire
As fans await the return of Landman, Paramount+ is navigating a busy slate of content. Jane Wiseman, head of originals at Paramount+, recently discussed the platform's long-term strategy and the expansive influence of creator Taylor Sheridan. Addressing the network's current roadmap, Wiseman noted: “Between Tulsa King and Landman, which Taylor is writing right now, Frisco King, Dutton Ranch, The Madison, we have a lot of business, and we’re going to be in business for time to come.”
Wiseman emphasized that while the studio is scaling its scripted drama output—with seven greenlights in the last ten months—they remain committed to a deliberate, curated approach to ensure they continue to satisfy the dedicated fanbase of the "Taylorverse."
Strategic Shifts and Contractual Changes
The landscape of Sheridan’s collaborations is evolving. It was previously reported that the creator secured a significant five-year overall deal with NBCUniversal, set to commence on January 1, 2029, following the conclusion of his current commitment to Paramount. While Paramount will maintain the rights to existing franchises like Yellowstone, Sheridan is expected to develop entirely new intellectual properties for his future partner.
'Landman' Season 3 Production Updates
The production schedule for Landman has seen several adjustments. After a successful premiere in late 2024 and a second season that wrapped production in August 2025, the third installment has encountered delays. Originally slated for a May 2026 start, filming was pushed back twice.
Actor James Jordan confirmed the current trajectory for the show, stating:
“We start that sometime in September, and we’ll shoot that through the first quarter of next year. Then we should have it out … I don’t know when. It’s up to the powers that be, but we’re very excited to get started on that.”
While official reasons for the timeline shifts remain undisclosed, these updates coincide with reports that the majority of the original cast, excluding Billy Bob Thornton, successfully negotiated salary increases this past June. Thornton, who portrays the lead character Tommy, operates under a separate three-year agreement that includes annual raises, though he would be eligible for a new contract should the series move forward to a fourth season.
