Taylor Sheridan's productions are known for attracting a stellar lineup of talent, from cinema legends like Kevin Costner and Sylvester Stallone to iconic figures of the small screen. Michael Kelly, a distinguished character actor, is the latest to join this impressive roster, signing on for the third season of "Landman."

Kelly has built a strong reputation for portraying complex, often shadowy figures, particularly within intelligence and political thrillers, including his memorable roles in "House of Cards" and "Jack Ryan." His calm demeanor and subtly menacing presence have made him one of American television's most compelling actors.

The collaboration between Kelly and Sheridan isn't new; Kelly previously appeared in Sheridan's action series "Lioness: Special Operations." Their successful partnership has led to a reunion, with U.S. media outlets confirming Kelly's casting as the new villain for "Landman" Season 3, with filming scheduled to begin soon.

Kelly will portray William Crockett, a powerful oil magnate driven solely by efficiency and profitability. This makes him a formidable adversary for Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton), the series protagonist, and his son Cooper (Jacob Lofland), as they embark on launching a new family business.

"Landman," a bona fide audience hit, has been hailed as a worthy successor to "Yellowstone." Set in Texas, the series delves into the life of a weary protagonist grappling with the pressures of a demanding professional life and an equally challenging family dynamic. The third season is anticipated to premiere next year on Paramount+.
