‘Landman’ cast score pay raise ahead of season 3 filming in Fort Worth
The cast of “Landman” have struck oil.
Deadline recently reported that several cast members are receiving pay raises heading into season 3, which is expected to begin filming in Fort Worth in late August. The Paramount+ series wrapped up its second season at the top of the year.
Nearly the entire main cast of “Landman” are seeing a bump, sans Billy Bob Thornton, who already had a three-year deal and standard year-to-year increases in place. Should the show be renewed for season 4, Deadline states that Thornton would return to the negotiating table.
Here’s a look at who’s getting a raise and how much.
‘Landman’ cast score pay raise
After playing second fiddle for most of season 1, Demi Moore saw an expanded role in season 2 and scored a huge payday heading into season 3.
Moore will be earning around $740,000-$750,000 an episode, which puts her in the same range as Thornton, according to Deadline. Ali Larter, who plays Angela, is the next highest earner going into season 3 at $350,000 an episode, more than double what she was previously getting.
Jacob Lofland, who plays Cooper, and Michelle Randolph, who plays Ainsley, doubled their salaries to around $130,000-$180,000 an episode.
The rest of the main cast, including Paulina Chávez (Ariana), Kayla Wallace (Rebecca), Mark Collie (Sheriff Walt) and James Jordan (Dale) also landed big percentage raises, although Deadline didn’t have exact figures for them.
Deadline also notes that Sam Elliott and Andy Garcia would factor into future salary negotiations, since they were added to the main cast in season 2.
More on ‘Landman’
“Landman” is described as a “modern-day tale of fortune seeking in the world of West Texas oil rigs.”
“As oil rises from the earth, so do secrets – and Tommy Norris’s (Thornton) breaking point may be closer than he realizes. Facing mounting pressure from M-Tex Oil, Cami Miller (Moore), and the shadow of his kin, survival in West Texas isn’t noble – it’s brutal. And sooner or later something’s got to break,” the show’s second season synopsis reads.
“Landman” is primarily filmed in Fort Worth, with several local landmarks and references appearing in the series.
Both seasons of “Landman” are streaming on Paramount+.
