Fans of Taylor Sheridan’s gritty western‑style dramas will recognize two beloved Texas locations in the upcoming third season of Landman. Singer‑songwriter Clayton Q shared on Instagram that production is underway at Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch in Weatherford, a property that has already served as a backdrop for Yellowstone, Lawmen: Bass Reeves and Lioness. The same update confirmed that the series is also filming at the sprawling 6666 Ranch, another Sheridan‑owned landmark famously featured in Yellowstone.
Local sites get a national spotlight
Both ranches sit in the heart of North Texas, a region that has become a go‑to destination for high‑profile television productions. By hosting Landman, the Bosque and 6666 Ranches are not only providing authentic scenery for the show’s oil‑industry storyline, they are also drawing crew members, cast, and fans to the area. Local businesses—from hotels and restaurants to equipment rentals—stand to benefit from the influx of production activity.
What the show brings to Texas
Landman, created by Sheridan, follows oil‑field entrepreneur Tommy Norris, played by Billy Bob Thornton, as he navigates the high‑stakes world of energy extraction. The series also stars Ali Larter, Sam Elliott, Michelle Randolph, Kayla Wallace, Jacob Lofland and Demi Moore. Its first two seasons captured strong viewership and critical attention, reinforcing Sheridan’s reputation for delivering compelling, character‑driven drama set against the rugged backdrop of the American West.
Season three is slated for release sometime in 2027, though an exact premiere date has not yet been announced. The production timeline, revealed by the Instagram post, indicates a lengthy shoot that will keep crews on the ground for several months. This extended presence offers a steady stream of jobs for local crew members and opportunities for Texas‑based vendors to supply everything from catering to transportation.
Community response
Local residents have expressed excitement about seeing familiar landmarks on screen again. Weatherford officials noted that the town has welcomed film crews before and praised the positive economic impact such projects bring. “We’re proud to showcase the natural beauty of our area,” said a spokesperson for the Weatherford Chamber of Commerce. “When a nationally‑aired series highlights our ranches, it puts Texas on the map for future productions.”
Similarly, Fort Worth’s tourism board highlighted the 6666 Ranch’s role in promoting the region’s heritage. The ranch, covering over 250,000 acres, is a historic Texas landmark and a symbol of the state’s long‑standing ranching tradition. Its appearance in multiple Sheridan projects underscores the symbiotic relationship between Texas’ cultural legacy and modern entertainment.
Looking ahead
While the exact narrative role of the ranches in season three remains under wraps, the anticipation among fans is palpable. As the series continues to explore themes of entrepreneurship, family, and the challenges of the energy sector, the authentic Texas settings are expected to enhance the storytelling.
For Texans who enjoy seeing their state’s landscapes on prime‑time television, the ongoing shoot offers a reminder of the state’s capacity to host major productions without compromising its values or way of life. The partnership between Sheridan’s creative vision and Texas’ welcoming environment illustrates how local heritage can be leveraged to support national entertainment ventures.
