Billy Bob Thornton Scores Awards Recognition

Returning Cast for Season 3

Created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, the show boasts a stellar cast featuring Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, Andy Garcia, Ali Larter, and Sam Elliott.

Let’s talk about the supporting players rounding out this film. We’ve got Jacob Lofland, who I’ve been following for a while, alongside Michelle Randolph, the rising star Paulina Chávez, and Kayla Wallace. Veteran actor Mark Collie also lends his talent, as does James Jordan, and the always-reliable Colm Feore. It’s a really solid ensemble cast, and I’m excited to see how they all play off each other.

The series Landman is a production of Paramount Television Studios, 101 Studios, and Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch Productions. Taylor Sheridan, David C. Glasser, David Hutkin, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, Christian Wallace, Billy Bob Thornton, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Friedman, and Stephen Kay all served as executive producers on the show.
