Thornton, who stars as the title landman,\u00a0played an alcoholic mall Santa in the 2003 dark comedy\u00a0Bad Santa. That character\u00a0was a match for what Sheridan wanted for\u00a0Landman\u2019s protagonist, he shared on\u00a0The Joe Rogan Experience podcast in late June.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to take your character from Bad Santa and put him in West Texas and run an oil company,\u201d Sheridan said he told Thornton.<\/p>\n
According to Sheridan, Thornton said the idea sounded \u201c[expletive] awesome.”<\/p>\n
Thornton\u2019s portrayal of the rugged oil executive paid off: He received a Golden Globe nomination for his\u00a0Landman performance in 2025. The actor previously won Golden Globes for Goliath and Fargo and was nominated for\u00a0Bad Santa.<\/p>\n
Landman\u00a0Season 2’s premiere in November 2025 gained more than 9.2 million views within two days of its release. Season 3<\/a>‘s release date is currently unknown, but filming is expected to start in\u00a0late August<\/a>, Thornton revealed. The show filmed its first two seasons in North Texas and is slated to return for Season 3.<\/p>\n As audiences await the third season, they can stream seasons 1 and 2 on Paramount +.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thornton, who stars as the title landman,\u00a0played an alcoholic mall Santa in the 2003 dark comedy\u00a0Bad Santa.
