Michael Kelly is pulling double duty in the Taylor Sheridan-verse, with the veteran actor set for a role in “Landman” Season 3. Kelly currently stars in Sheridan’s Paramount+ military drama “Lioness,” which is currently airing its third season. Kelly has been with that show in the role of deputy CIA director Byron Westfield since it launched in 2023.
In “Landman,” Kelly will play the series regular role of William Crockett, who is described as “the leader of the largest oil management firm in the world. He is a titan of industry and everything about him exudes efficiency and money.” Kelly is a four-time Emmy nominee in the outstanding supporting actor in a drama category for his work on the hit Netflix series “House of Cards.” Aside from “Lioness,” his recent TV credits include “The Penguin” at HBO, “Jack Ryan” at Amazon, and the AMC animated series “Pantheon.” In film, Kelly is known for roles in features like “Law Abiding Citizen,” “Now You See Me,” “Chronicle,” “The Changeling,” and “Man of Steel.” He is repped by WME, Liebman Entertainment and Schreck Rose Dapello. Billy Bob Thornton will return to lead the cast of the oil industry drama alongside returning cast members Demi Moore, Andy Garcia, Ali Larter, Sam Elliott, Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace, Mark Collie, James Jordan, and Colm Feore.
Sheridan co-created the series with Christian Wallace. Both are executive producers along with David C. Glasser, David Hutkin, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, Christian Wallace, Thornton, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Friedman and Stephen Kay.
Dan Friedkin and Jason Hoch for Imperative Entertainment, and J.K. Nickell and Megan Creydt for Texas Monthly also executive produce. According to Nielsen multiplatform data, the series averaged over 14 million viewers an episode in the first five weeks of 2026.
