Landman has left the Paramount+ top 10 after 400 consecutive days on the chart, ending one of the longest runs in the streamer's history. The oil industry drama starring Billy Bob Thornton was knocked from the chart as South Park took the top spot, with Marshals in second place and Tracker in third. The fall was reported on November 3, ahead of the show's third season, which is already in production.
The timing is awkward for Paramount+. A third season is in the works, with Thornton returning as Tommy Norris, the crisis manager at the center of the series. Demi Moore and Jon Hamm are also confirmed to return, along with Colm Feore, Mustafa Speaks, Bobbi Salvor Menuez and Francesca Xuereb as series regulars. No release date has been announced for the new season.
Landman comes from Taylor Sheridan, the writer behind Yellowstone, and it follows Norris as he handles deals, accidents and disputes in the West Texas oil fields. The series premiered on November 17, 2024, and its second season kept it near the top of the Paramount+ chart for months. The 400-day run covered both seasons and the long gap between them, as viewers kept returning to the show between new episodes.
Landman loses its chart run to new arrivals
The chart the show left is a daily ranking of the most watched titles on Paramount+. South Park now holds the top spot, followed by Marshals, a Yellowstone spinoff, and Tracker, the CBS drama starring Justin Hartley. Those three titles pushed Landman out of the ten, a shift that says more about new arrivals than about a sudden drop in Landman viewing.
Streaming charts move fast. A show can hold a place for months on steady viewing, then lose it in a day when a popular new title arrives. The show had survived many such arrivals during its 400 days, including other Sheridan shows and major film releases. The November 3 report noted that the show's run ended just as Thornton prepares a separate project for the same company.
Thornton will host a new three-part docuseries, Billy Bob Thornton Presents: The Mayflower, about the 17th-century ship that carried English pilgrims to North America. The series premieres in late November on Fox Nation, the streaming service owned by Fox. The project keeps Thornton in front of audiences during the gap before Landman season 3, and it gives him a presenting role outside drama.
Why Landman held the chart for so long
The show built its audience on a simple setup: a fixer in an industry where money, land and danger meet every day. Thornton's Norris negotiates with landowners, calms roughnecks and answers to oil company owners, and the show mixes workplace drama with family conflict. Moore plays Cami Miller, the wife of an oil company owner, and Hamm plays Monty Miller, her husband, in a cast that widened in season two.
Landman's second season broke records for Paramount+ when it arrived, and its episodes stayed in the top ten through the weeks after release. Between seasons, the series kept charting on repeat viewing, a pattern that streaming services value because it means subscribers keep coming back to the same title. A 400-day run is unusual even for a hit, because most shows fade from daily charts within weeks of a finale.
Sheridan's name helped. His Yellowstone universe has been a reliable draw for Paramount+, and Landman sits alongside it as a separate story with a similar tone. The show's West Texas setting, its oil field locations and its cast of roughnecks and executives gave it a clear identity, and Thornton's performance as a tired, funny fixer drew praise from viewers and critics alike.
What comes next for Landman
Season 3 has no release date yet, but its cast is set and production is under way. The new season will bring back the core group, and the show's writers have room to pick up threads from season two, which ended with Norris facing new pressure at work and at home. Paramount+ has not said how many episodes the season will run, or whether it will arrive in 2027.
The chart fall does not change the show's standing at the streamer. The series remains one of Paramount+'s most watched originals, and a daily chart is a snapshot, not a verdict on a series. Shows return to the top ten when new seasons arrive, and the show has a clear path back when season 3 premieres. Until then, its 400-day run is the mark other Paramount+ titles will be measured against, and the November 3 report closes a chapter that began when the show first charted in late 2024.
