Production has begun on Season 3 of Landman in Fort Worth, Texas, and Mustafa Speaks is among four cast members upped to series regular status for the new season. Speaks plays Theodore “Boss” Ramone, a seasoned roughneck on Tommy Norris’s oil crew, and joins fellow newly promoted regulars Colm Feore, Bobbi Salvor Menuez, and Francesca Xuereb.
Landman, created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, has become one of Paramount+’s biggest hits since premiering, following Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy Norris as he navigates the brutal, high-stakes world of West Texas oil. Season 2 ended with Tommy launching his own venture, CTT Oil Exploration and Cattle, after striking a dangerous deal with cartel boss Gallino, played by Andy Garcia. Speaks previously appeared in recurring capacity before this promotion, with his character grounded in the show’s depiction of the dangerous, day-to-day realities of oil field work.
Speaks’ elevation to series regular adds to a year that’s seen him steadily building credits across prestige and genre television, with past roles in Joe Pickett and All American, and reflects a broader pattern of character actors embedded in ensemble-heavy prestige dramas gradually earning expanded billing once a show finds its footing and its audience.
The promotion comes alongside the previously announced addition of Michael Kelly, who joins the cast this season as William Crockett, described as a “titan of industry” running the world’s largest oil-management firm. The full returning cast includes Thornton, Demi Moore, Garcia, Ali Larter, Sam Elliott, Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace, Mark Collie, and James Jordan. Season 3 story details have not yet been revealed. Landman is produced by Paramount Television Studios, 101 Studios, and Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch Productions, with Sheridan, Wallace, Thornton, and others executive producing.
With Season 3 now in production and no premiere date set, the bigger question hanging over the show is how it evolves once Sheridan’s overall deal shifts his output to NBCUniversal starting in 2028, and whether Landman’s current creative core stays intact through that transition.
