Co-creator Christian Wallace expressed his enthusiasm for expanding Landman, “As long as there are stories to tell, I would love to keep telling them,” he shared, during a recent interview with The Direct leaving fans hopeful about a potential continuation.

"We really just skinned the surface and that's saying something because we covered a lot of ground," he said, underscoring the depth still waiting to be explored.

This revelation has fueled fan speculation, making the wait for an official announcement even more intense.

Thornton also praised the creative opportunities provided by streaming platforms, stating, “For actors, writers, and directors, streaming is where character development thrives.
