Jacob Lofland Talks ‘Landman’s Most “Uncomfortable Moment” & How It Could Affect Season 3 [Exclusive]

Season 2 of ‘Landman’ sparked a lot of discussion, but one scene featuring Paulina Chávez and Jacob Lofland‘s characters, Ariana and Cooper, really stood out. The scene depicts an attempted sexual assault on Ariana, which Cooper manages to stop. As this relationship has been a key part of the show’s storyline, MovieWeb spoke with Lofland about the impact of this disturbing event on Ariana and Cooper.

In a recent interview, actor Lofland talked about how the difficult events in the latest episode of Landman could affect the show’s third season. Although he didn’t reveal any specific plot details, he emphasized the importance of addressing the serious issues raised in episode nine. He hopes the show doesn’t shy away from these sensitive topics, as the scene was particularly challenging for everyone involved to film.

That’s a really good question! Since we haven’t started working on Season Three yet, it’s hard to say for sure what will happen. But whatever happened isn’t something that will just disappear – it’s a significant event that will likely be addressed in some way. We’ll have to see how it plays out. I’m just as curious as you are! Experiencing it was definitely a memorable day, and it brought a lot of unexpected weight and awareness to the situation. It was much more impactful than I anticipated.

As a fan, I was really struck by that intense scene, and it sounds like it took a toll on the actors too. Lofland was saying he’s hoping all that emotional stuff actually brings Chávez and his character closer, and he had nothing but praise for his co-star. He specifically mentioned her courage and how openly vulnerable she was, which is what made the episode so impactful. Even though things are up in the air for them, Lofland seems hopeful about where things might go, despite how difficult that scene was to film.

That situation was definitely awkward, but ultimately I think it resolved well, and Paulina handled it beautifully. I’m just relieved it’s over, and I’m curious to see what happens with Cooper and both of them moving forward. It was a difficult experience for everyone involved, and it’s possible they’ll become even closer because of it. It really seems like that’s what’s happening with this couple.

Although a specific date hasn’t been announced, Landman season 3 is likely to premiere on Paramount+ in Fall 2026, mirroring the release timing of previous seasons. The strong debut of season 2 suggests this timeframe is probable.
