The salaries for the Landman cast have been revealed after the actors secured significant raises for season 3.
Taylor Sheridan‘s hit series is scheduled to start filming in August after becoming one of Paramount+’s most successful shows. According to Deadline, the entire original cast — outside of Billy Bob Thornton — successfully negotiated paycheck increases.
Thornton, 70, who plays Tommy, reportedly has a separate three-year deal with standard year-to-year increases. He would be up for negotiating a new contract if Landman is renewed for a fourth season.
Demi Moore, meanwhile, had a contract that was shorter than the usual two-year options. After a negotiation, the actress, 63, has a new deal that will bring her up to parity with Thornton with a salary in the $740,000 to $770,000 an episode range for each.
Ali Larter renegotiated her existing long-term contract, with the outlet claiming she reached an agreement recently after the other OG cast members settled their raises earlier this year. Larter, 50, who plays Angela, more than doubled her paycheck by now receiving $350,000 an episode — in addition to getting a talent deal.
Jacob Lofland and Michelle Randolph, who play Thornton and Larter’s onscreen kids, are going up in the range of $130,000 to $180,000 an episode. The rest of the cast, which includes Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace, Mark Collie and James Jordan, reportedly got sizable bumps that are under Lofland and Randolph.
Based on the “Boomtown” podcast, Landman is Sheridan’s newest hit series, joining the ranks of Yellowstone, Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King, Lawmen: Bass Reeves and Lioness. The hit Paramount+ series introduced Thornton as a corporate fixer working for an oil titan in a West Texas-set drama with life-and-death stakes.
The actor recently spoke to Us Weekly about his future on the show.
“I think Taylor is going to let me hang around,” Thornton exclusively told Us in June, hinting that his character won’t be killed off just yet.
Larter and Andy Garcia, meanwhile, revealed that they were in the dark about what is still to come.
“I really can’t even assume or try to guess what Taylor is going to imagine for season 3,” Larter shared. “One thing I know is that to be able to get this far into our story lines, we all know each other. So the characters really understand what their dynamics are.”
Larter teased that Sheridan will “just lean into that,” adding, “And I think what’s nice is that it’s not the first time. So when you’re going back down, it’s not the anxiety and the nervousness. You’ll get a little bit of the jitters, but to be able to go down and just do what we love [is wonderful].”
Landman is streaming on Paramount+.
