In a conversation with Gold Derby in May 2025, Billy said:“[It] is a show I'd like to work on for a while. I told Taylor, I said as long as you want me around, I'm here for this. I really love the show. I love doing it, I love playing this character, and I love the people I work with. Not only the cast, but the crew also is just stellar.”Billy Bob Thornton once expressed his wish to play Tommy Norris in Landman for years View this post on Instagram Instagram PostDuring the interview, Billy Bob Thornton added that he would want to star in Landman for as long as he physically can. Highlighting how he is willing to push boundaries for the role even at the age of 70, the actor stated:“I'll be there as long as they want me, and as long as I'm able. I mean, you know, when I was 35, I didn't have to say that to someone who was interviewing me. But now the truth is at some point, I'm hoping it's years from now, but there will be a time where I might have to do like a Peter Boyle on Everybody Loves Raymond, and just go sit in a chair and eat cake.”Bobby’s wish might get fulfilled as Landman does seem to have a bright future and may run for years.
