Taylor Sheridan's Landman is making headlines again, but this time it's not just about the show's gripping drama. Season 3 is officially on the horizon, and with it comes some major financial news for the cast. Paramount has confirmed that stars Demi Moore and Ali Larter are among those receiving substantial pay increases as production gears up for the next chapter.
The renewal for Season 3 came last December, shortly after the show's return to streaming, so fans didn't have to wait long to know the series would continue. However, the wait for new episodes just got longer. Filming, originally expected to start sooner, has been pushed back to August, pushing the release date to 2027 instead of the anticipated 2026. That's a tough pill for fans, but the promise of bigger stakes—and bigger paychecks—might soften the blow.
Demi Moore's Salary Soars
Leading the charge is Demi Moore, whose per-episode salary for Season 3 has reportedly been bumped to around $750,000. That's a significant increase from her previous seasons, reflecting her star power and the show's success. Moore stars opposite Billy Bob Thornton, who originally signed a three-season deal, so his salary remains unchanged for now. But if Landman gets a Season 4, expect Thornton to negotiate a hefty raise of his own.
Ali Larter and the Norris Family Get Raises Too
Ali Larter isn't far behind. She's set to earn $350,000 per episode in Season 3, doubling what she made in the first two seasons. Other members of the Norris family are also getting pay bumps: Jacob Lofland and Michelle Randolph will now earn between $130,000 and $180,000 per episode. Paulina Chavez, Kayla Wallace, Mark Collie, and James Jordan are also receiving raises, though their exact salaries haven't been disclosed.
These pay increases come as Landman continues to be a standout in Sheridan's expanding universe. While other projects like Marshals have struggled with critics and audiences—scoring a dismal 48% on Rotten Tomatoes—Landman has thrived. Sheridan's empire, built on non-negotiable demands that built his Paramount empire, shows no signs of slowing down.
What's Next for the Taylor Sheridan Universe?
Sheridan isn't resting on his laurels. His hit spy thriller Lioness is returning for a third season this August, and Dutton Ranch just scored a Season 2 renewal after dominating streaming. Meanwhile, The Madison quietly became Paramount+'s all-time streaming hit, proving Sheridan's Midas touch is still golden.
For now, Landman fans can catch up on the first two seasons on Paramount Plus. With Season 3 set for 2027, there's plenty of time to rewatch and speculate on what's next for the Norris family. Stay tuned for more updates as production ramps up.
