Billy Bob Thornton has shut down AI-generated rumors claiming he’s leaving Landman, confirming his return for Season 3 and calling out false reports about his relationship with co-star Demi Moore.
The Landman Season 2 finale left fans questioning whether Billy Bob Thornton’s character, Tommy Norris, would return for Season 3. However, Thornton has now debunked AI-generated reports suggesting his departure, confirming his commitment to the Paramount+ series.
The AI-Generated Rumors
Following the Season 2 finale, an AI-generated report claimed Thornton was leaving Landman. Thornton swiftly dismissed the rumor, telling USA Today that it was “AI-generated crap.” He also addressed another false report suggesting he and co-star Demi Moore were a couple, stating, “They have nothing to do with reality.”
Thornton’s character, Tommy Norris, was relieved of his position as president of M-Tex Oil by Moore’s character, Cami Miller, in the penultimate episode. However, the finale revealed Norris starting his own competing company, CTT Oil Exploration and Cattle, setting the stage for a tense rivalry in Season 3.
Thornton’s Commitment to Landman
Thornton reassured fans that he will return for Season 3, stating, “I’ll be there.” He also expressed his enjoyment of working on the series, particularly with Sam Elliott, who plays his character’s father, TL. “It’s been great working with Sam. And I love doing the show,” Thornton said. “I’ll be here as long as it plays out. If it’s five years, great. If it’s six, I’m there.”
Elliott’s introduction in Season 2 sets up a multi-season arc, with Norris asking his father to help lead the new company in the finale. This generational power struggle is expected to anchor the show’s future, providing ample material for Thornton’s character to explore.
Season 3 Production
Filming for Season 3 of Landman is expected to begin in April or May 2026, following Paramount+’s December 2025 announcement of the show’s renewal. With Thornton’s confirmation of his return, fans can look forward to more of the intense corporate feud between Norris and Miller, now as competitors rather than collaborators.
