2026 is shaping up to be a big year for Taylor Sheridan, but that isn’t much of a surprise to those who have been watching his shows for years. Since the first season of Yellowstone premiered back in 2018, every year has been successful for Sheridan as he continues to expand his television empire. For now, it will continue to grow at Paramount, but he’s confirmed to leave the studio at the end of 2028 and take his talents (and all of his shows) to NBCUniversal, meaning everything Sheridan-related will stream on Peacock. We’re only a few months into 2026, and Sheridan has already debuted two new shows, The Madison (starring Kurt Russell) and Marshals (starring Luke Grimes). The former is an original Western that also co-stars Michelle Pfeiffer and the latter is a Yellowstone spin-off.
One of the biggest things Sheridan will work on this year, though, is the third season of Landman. Landman first premiered back at the end of 2024, and the hit oil drama written and produced by Sheridan and Christian Wallace has already aired two full seasons on Paramount+. The studio wasted no time renewing Landman for a third season, and it’s already been confirmed that production on Landman Season 3 will begin in May, paving the way for the show to return before the end of the year. Although it’s been months since a new episode of Landman was released, it’s still sitting comfortably in the Paramount+ top 10, along with other Sheridan releases like Tulsa King (starring Sylvester Stallone) and Mayor of Kingstown (starring Jeremy Renner). Landman is the perfect mash-up of Yellowstone and Succession, with all the elements of neo-Western drama and cutthroat corporate dealings to please fans of both shows.
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.
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.
The official synopsis for Landman reads as follows:
“Set in the boom towns of Texas, Landman is a modern tale of fortune-seeking amongst roughnecks and billionaires in the world of oil.”
The ensemble cast for Landman consists of Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris, Demi Moore as Cami Miller, Ali Larter as Angela Norris, Jacob Lofland as Cooper Norris, Michelle Randolph as Ainsley Norris, Paulina Chavez as Ariana, Kayla Wallace as Rebecca Falcone, and more. In Landman Season 3, Tommy will split off from the corporate world to run his own oil company with his son.
Check out the first two seasons of Landman on Paramount+ and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Season 3.
