Talk of a reunion on Paramount+ has sparked Billy Bob Thornton Landman news, as speculation grows over whether Tim McGraw and Faith Hill might join the acclaimed series. The show, created by Taylor Sheridan and featuring names like Demi Moore, Sam Elliott, and Andy Garcia, returns this fall as viewers wonder if more country stars will sign on.
Speculation Swirls Around Potential Cast Additions
There is fresh excitement among fans questioning whether Tim McGraw and Faith Hill could appear in upcoming episodes of Landman. The two stars previously partnered with Taylor Sheridan on the prequel series 1883, portraying James and Margaret Dutton—characters integral to the Yellowstone origin story. Billy Bob Thornton, who also appeared briefly in 1883, found himself fielding questions about a possible on-screen reunion with the country couple as anticipation mounts for Landman’s second season premiere.
Sheridan’s ability and willingness to assemble high-profile casts is well-known. The inclusion of McGraw and Hill in 1883, alongside Billy Bob Thornton, demonstrated the showrunner’s readiness to go the extra mile—and budget—to secure talent that fits his vision. Since then, McGraw has spent more time focusing on his musical career whenever health has permitted, while Hill has opted largely to step outside the public spotlight.
Billy Bob Thornton Addresses Reunion Hopes
Walking the red carpet with Landman costar Mark Collie during the recent CMA Awards, Billy Bob Thornton was asked by an ET reporter about his connection to McGraw and whether fans could anticipate Tim and Faith appearing on the series in the future.

While Thornton’s response generated buzz, it did not offer clear evidence that talks have occurred between McGraw, Hill, or the production team regarding new appearances. Nevertheless, there remains ample time for fresh cast additions as attention shifts to production details for future episodes and seasons.
Future of Landman and Returning Faces
Currently, a third season of Landman has yet to be confirmed by Paramount+, but the tone among cast members is optimistic. Sam Elliott, a fellow Sheridan favorite, indicated he looks forward to the start of filming, suggesting that renewal seems probable. Michelle Randolph and Ali Larter, both actors on the series, also expressed surprise at the idea of cancellation following Season 2.
Billy Bob Thornton, in comments referenced by the Hollywood Reporter, noted that his contract covers four to five years, underscoring a long-term vision for the show. Taylor Sheridan is known for reuniting trusted actors across his productions, as seen with Elliott, Thornton, Michelle Randolph, and James Jordan—all of whom have appeared in various Yellowstone universe projects, including Lioness and Mayor of Kingstown.
The possibility of McGraw and Hill returning in any capacity, such as playing wealthy Fort Worth socialites, has even been entertained by fans and podcasters. The grueling production schedule from their time on 1883 is not forgotten, yet both have discussed that experience fondly in interviews, keeping the door open for a potential return should the opportunity arise.
What Might Happen Next
With Landman continuing to generate high-profile news and Taylor Sheridan searching for talent that matches his ambitious plans, speculation about further cast additions is likely to persist. Billy Bob Thornton’s comments add fuel to this speculation, but for now, fans must wait to see whether Tim McGraw and Faith Hill will join the lineup as Season 2 prepares to debut. The ongoing collaboration between Sheridan and his trusted circle of actors remains a hallmark of the series and the larger Yellowstone universe.
