đ¨ DEVASTATING UPDATE: A fan-favorite is officially OUT of Landman Season 3!
Ali Larter has confirmed what fans have been fearing: she will not be reprising her role in Landman Season 3. For years, her character has been a heartbeat of the show â fierce, witty, unforgettable. Her absence leaves a void that will be felt by both the story and the audience, a reminder that some departures leave scars, not just gaps. Season 3 promises twists and new faces, but the reality hits hard: this isnât just a casting change. Itâs the end of a chapter that shaped the seriesâ soul. Fans canât help but feel the bittersweet pang of loss while holding onto hope for whatâs next. A legacy doesnât vanish â it lingers, and her mark will be remembered.
Taylor Sheridanâs hit series Landman was renewed for season 3 â but which stars are and arenât returning after that shocking firing?
Inspired by the âBoomtownâ podcast series, Landman is focused on the West Texas oil industry with a specific focus on crisis executive Tommy Norris and his family. The Paramount+ show, which premiered in 2024, introduced Billy Bob Thornton as the corporate fixer working for an oil titan (Jon Hamm) while building up to its promise of plot twists.
The season finale killed off Hammâs Monty while Tommy was named the president of M-Tex before getting kidnapped â and severely beaten â by a drug cartel leader. Tommy is eventually released with the promise that he will work with the cartel.
Season 2 raised the stakes by shaking up the narrative with Demi Mooreâs Cami added into the mix more. Elsewhere in the show, Ali Larterâs Angela, Jacob Loflandâs Cooper, Michelle Randolphâs Ainsley and more are at the center of their own drama.
Before the second season came to an end, Landman had already been renewed for a third installment. Season 2 struck viewership records for Paramount+ by achieving over 9.2 million streaming views for its premiere episode in the first two days on service. Views increased from the first season premiere, making it the most watched premiere for any original series for Paramount+.
Keep scrolling to see which Landman cast members have confirmed they are returning for season 3 â and which havenât yet:

Despite Tommy getting fired by Cami, Thornton signed on for four or five seasons of Landman, telling The Hollywood Reporter in November 2025 that he would remain on the hit series âas long as Iâm ableâ or âuntil the story runs out.â
Jon Hamm
After playing a large role in season 1, Hammâs character was killed off.
Demi Moore
Creator Christian Wallace weighed in on how it is Camiâs time to shine, telling Variety in January 2025, âThere is a lot more story left to tell with Cami. Taylor has big plans, thatâs all Iâm going to say.â
Wallace elaborated in a separate interview with TV Insider.
âI think Demiâs character in this first season was kind of playing a little bit of second fiddle to Monty, at least in his role as the president of M-Tex Oil,â Wallace explained. âHeâs the one thatâs calling the shots and has to make these big decisions, and so heâs really the one thatâs thrust in the fire and is honestly kind of trying to shield his family from the stress that heâs experiencing, which ultimately plays a role in his demise. And Cami is aware but is not involved in the daily ongoings of M-Tex. And so his passing is kind of an incredible opportunity for Cami to play a bigger role in this world.â
