Paramount+ executive shares big update about Landm…

 

Fans of Landman have plenty to look forward to as the Paramount+ drama moves toward its highly anticipated third season. The Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace-created series has officially been renewed, and recent updates suggest that the next chapter of the hit oil drama is taking shape.

Paramount+ confirmed the renewal in December 2025 after Landman delivered strong viewing numbers for the streaming service. The third season will continue to be executive produced by Sheridan, Wallace, David C. Glasser and several other members of the creative team. 

The biggest question for viewers has been when the new episodes will arrive. Paramount+ has confirmed that season 3 is coming, but the streamer has not announced an official premiere date. Its own update notes that both previous seasons launched in November, although that pattern does not guarantee the same release window for the new season. 

Production timing has also become an important part of the conversation. Earlier expectations pointed toward a quicker return, but reports indicate that filming has been pushed later than initially anticipated. That has raised the possibility that viewers may have to wait until 2027 rather than seeing the season in late 2026. 

There is, however, plenty of story left to explore. Season 2 ended with major changes for Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy Norris. After being pushed out of M-Tex, Tommy joined forces with his son Cooper and Danny Morrell to establish a new oil business. At the same time, Demi Moore’s Cami became an increasingly powerful figure at M-Tex, setting the stage for a new professional rivalry. 

Thornton is expected to return as Tommy, while other familiar faces are also likely to continue their stories. However, Paramount+ had not yet officially announced the complete season 3 cast in its April update. 

Christian Wallace has previously expressed enthusiasm about continuing the series, saying there is still plenty of story to tell. He suggested that the show has significant “runway” remaining as long as the characters and story continue to develop in worthwhile ways. 

That approach could make season 3 particularly exciting. Tommy is no longer simply trying to survive inside someone else’s oil empire. He is now building something of his own, while facing new business dangers and complicated family relationships.

For now, fans will have to remain patient for an official premiere announcement. What is clear is that Landman is not going anywhere. With Paramount+ backing another season and the story entering a completely new phase, season 3 could become one of the show’s biggest chapters yet.

    Bilawal calls AJK polls ‘bloody elections&#8…

    Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has strongly criticised the recent Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Legislative Assembly elections, describing them as “bloody” and “rigged” while vowing to continue the party’s political and legal battle over the results. In a statement, Bilawal alleged that the elections were neither free nor fair. He claimed the polls were marred by rigging and violence, calling them “bullet elections,” “killer elections,” and “bloody elections.” Despite his criticism of the electoral process, Bilawal thanked PPP supporters for their backing, saying voters had enabled the party to secure victory on nine seats. He further alleged that several seats in Mirpur and Muzaffarabad had been “stolen” from the PPP and pledged to pursue all constitutional and legal avenues to reclaim what he described as the party’s rightful mandate. Bilawal said the PPP would not be discouraged by the election outcome and reaffirmed the party’s commitment to continuing its political struggle. “The Pakistan Peoples Party does not lose courage, does not retreat, and does not abandon the political field,” he said. The PPP chairman also announced that he would address a public gathering in Bagh district as part of the party’s ongoing election campaign. Inviting supporters from the Poonch region, Bilawal said he would visit the area on August 10 and urged party workers and supporters to prepare for the rally. His remarks come amid continuing political tensions following the AJK elections, with the PPP maintaining that it will challenge the disputed results through legal and constitutional channels.

    Sohail Afridi denied meeting Imran at Adiala Jail

    RAWALPINDI: Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi was stopped from meeting Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder Imran Khan at Adiala Jail on Thursday. Afridi reached the Medicine Factory checkpoint on Adiala Road with several PTI leaders and lawmakers. Police stopped the delegation from moving towards the prison. The chief minister was accompanied by Mena Khan, Shafi Jan, Ahad Shah, Abdul Salam Afridi and Shahid Khattak. Police had earlier blocked Adiala Road from Gorakhpur towards the jail. Traffic was diverted to alternative routes. Afridi questioned the SHO Saddar Beroni about the restrictions. He also asked what instructions had been issued to the authorities. The chief minister remained at the checkpoint until the scheduled meeting time ended. He and the accompanying PTI leaders were not allowed to meet Imran. After the delegation left, police removed the barriers. Traffic on Adiala Road was restored. Speaking to the media, Afridi announced a protest call if he was not allowed to meet the PTI founder. He said PTI workers would come out across the country at 10pm. He urged them to gather at major intersections while carrying the national and party flags. Afridi also asked workers to stay focused on the party’s planned march towards Islamabad on September 27. He claimed that the PTI planned to bring two million people to Islamabad. He said the number could be even higher. The chief minister said the authorities should allow a meeting with Imran before September 28 if they wanted to reduce political tensions. Afridi also criticised the treatment of Imran and PTI since 2022. He accused the authorities of pushing the country towards instability because of political differences and stubbornness. He further criticised other political parties and questioned their role in the country’s political situation. The latest incident comes amid growing concern within PTI over Imran’s health and access to him. The party has repeatedly demanded that its founder be allowed to meet family members, lawyers and party leaders. Imran has remained incarcerated at Adiala Jail since 2023. His wife, Bushra Bibi, is also imprisoned. The PTI founder has faced several legal cases during his imprisonment. He and Bushra Bibi were sentenced to 17 years in prison in the Toshakhana-II case in December 2025. PTI has also raised concerns over Imran’s eyesight and medical treatment. Earlier this year, doctors from the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences examined him at the jail. PIMS later confirmed that he had received an anti-VEGF injection for a condition affecting his right eye. A later medical examination indicated improvement in his eyesight following treatment. Imran’s sisters and PTI supporters have also held regular gatherings outside Adiala Jail on designated meeting days. However, access to the former prime minister has remained restricted in recent months. Afridi’s unsuccessful visit on Thursday is likely to further intensify the political confrontation between PTI and the authorities.

    Congo tightens grip on mineral exports with ban on…

    The Democratic Republic of Congo has prohibited exports of copper concentrate and cobalt concentrate, according to a government order reviewed on Thursday, marking the latest step in an ongoing push to force more mineral processing to happen inside the country and capture a larger share of the value generated by its mining sector. News of the ban sent benchmark three month copper prices on the London Metal Exchange up by as much as 1.8 percent to $14,369.50 a metric ton, the highest level since January 29, when the metal touched an all time peak of $14,527.50. Prices stood at $14,300 as of 0930 GMT following the report. Congo holds the position of the world’s largest cobalt supplier and ranks among the top sources of copper and other minerals critical to the global energy transition. The government is using that leverage to encourage the build out of domestic processing capacity rather than allowing raw or partially processed materials to leave the country. The order, dated June 29 and signed jointly by Mines Minister Louis Kabamba Watum, Foreign Trade Minister Julien Paluku Kahongya and Economy Minister Daniel Mukoko Samba, states plainly that exporting copper and cobalt concentrates is now prohibited. The prohibition took effect immediately, though the order allows for one year export waivers to be granted under unspecified strategic circumstances. The same order also establishes a new tax structure covering economically significant mining by products, with a three month transition period built in before the new rules take full effect. Officials said the export ban aims to push mining companies toward marketing or exporting higher value processed mineral products rather than raw concentrate. This marks the fourth time Congo has restricted concentrate exports, following similar bans imposed in 2013, 2019 and 2023, each of which included waivers in cases where domestic smelting capacity could not keep pace with output. The new order formally repeals the 2023 measure and its associated exemptions, replacing it with a broader regulatory framework governing both mineral exports and taxation of significant by products recovered during processing. Congo already exports the vast majority of its copper in refined form. During the first quarter of 2026, the country shipped 696,725 tons of copper cathodes, compared with just 53,926 tons of copper concentrate containing roughly 18,863 tons of copper metal, according to official figures. Over the same period, Congo exported 51,940 tons of cobalt hydroxide containing about 17,054 tons of cobalt metal. Christian Geraud Neema, a mining analyst with the nonprofit China Global South Project, said the new ban is unlikely to significantly disrupt most mining operators since the bulk of Congo’s copper and cobalt already undergoes domestic refining before export. He said the operation most likely to feel the impact is the Kamoa Kakula venture, jointly owned by Ivanhoe Mines, China’s Zijin Mining and the Congolese government, which still exports some volume of concentrate under existing exemptions. Neither Ivanhoe nor Zijin responded immediately to requests for comment, and the Congolese chamber of mines also did not respond. The newly introduced tax regime applies broadly across mineral categories, extending to trace and ultra trace minerals recovered during the refining process. These by products will be taxed using a 55 percent valuation coefficient, with royalties applied alongside those already charged on the primary mineral being extracted. The policy fits into a broader pattern across resource rich African nations seeking to move beyond raw material exports and capture more manufacturing and processing value domestically, a shift that has gained momentum as global demand for energy transition minerals like copper and cobalt continues to grow.

    Karachi firing over motorcycle dispute leaves one …

    Karachi: A dispute between two groups over a motorcycle collision turned violent in Karachi’s Shireen Jinnah Colony, resulting in the death of one person and injuries to four others. According to police officials, the incident began after a motorcycle accident led to an argument between the sons of Abdul Muqadar and Pir Zaman. Residents of the area intervened and managed to calm the situation, after which both groups returned to their homes. However, the situation escalated shortly afterward when Pir Zaman and his associates allegedly arrived at Abdul Muqadar’s residence and opened fire. A gun battle reportedly followed between the two groups. As a result of the firing, Abdul Muqadar and one of his sons were injured, while his other son, Aamir, died on the spot. Two members of the opposing group, identified as Shahid Zaman and Abu Zar, also sustained injuries. Following the incident, a heavy police contingent reached the scene and shifted the deceased and injured individuals to a hospital. Police officials collected multiple bullet casings from the site and launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Authorities are working to determine the exact cause of the dispute and the role of those involved in the exchange of fire. Further legal action will be taken after completion of the investigation.

    Passengers recount terrifying turbulence on Air India flight

    At least 17 passengers and crew members were injured after an Air India flight encountered severe turbulence while travelling from Phuket, Thailand, to New Delhi, prompting frightened passengers to fear the aircraft might crash. According to Indian media, the flight was carrying 137 passengers and eight crew members when it was hit by sudden and intense turbulence mid-air. The violent shaking reportedly caused the aircraft to drop abruptly, leaving several passengers and crew members injured. The aircraft also sustained minor damage during the incident. The flight landed safely at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi, where emergency medical teams were waiting. Injured passengers were taken from the aircraft on stretchers and transported to nearby hospitals for treatment. An Italian passenger described the ordeal as one of the most terrifying experiences of her life. She said the turbulence was so powerful that her sister was thrown out of her seat, while her mother suffered a head injury. She added that several passengers were hurt, including one man whose face was covered in blood. “We thought we were going to die,” the passenger said, recalling the frightening moments during the flight. Air India, however, said none of the passengers or crew members suffered life-threatening injuries. The airline stated that those injured were taken to hospital as a precaution for medical evaluation. According to the airline, five people were discharged shortly after receiving treatment, while the remaining injured passengers continue to receive medical care. The incident has once again drawn attention to the dangers posed by severe in-flight turbulence, although aviation experts note that such events are relatively rare and commercial aircraft are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions.

    Unforgiving July’s heatwaves in the U.S.

    According to a landmark report released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the United States just experienced the single hottest month in modern history. Throughout July, atmospheric heat domes locked across vast stretches of the country. The heatwaves drove mean temperatures in the Lower 48 states to an unprecedented average of 76.9 degrees Fahrenheit (24.9 degrees Celsius). This mark sits an incredible 3.3 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th-century norm, effectively surpassing the legendary heatwaves of July 1936 during the Dust Bowl and July 2012. The data underscores an extraordinary, nationwide thermal surge. Record-breaking conditions spared virtually no region, with all 48 contiguous states logging temperatures well above their long-term monthly averages. States in the Mountain West, the Southwest, the Northern Plains, and the Southeast bore the brunt of the extreme conditions. Across the country, over 600 monthly high-temperature records fell or were matched. 13 individual states logged a July that ranked among their top five hottest ever recorded. Wyoming stood out at the epicenter of the continental heat peak, registering its warmest month on record with temperatures soaring 5.1 degrees Fahrenheit higher than historical baselines. While intense afternoon conditions pushed daytime maximum temperatures to an average of 89.5 degrees Fahrenheit, ranking as the sixth-warmest daytime average in 132 years of record-keeping. Meteorologists emphasize that nighttime behavior represented the most dangerous aspect of this climatic event. Overnights offered almost no thermal relief, as minimum temperatures averaged 64.2 degrees Fahrenheit across the nation. This smashed the previous overnight low-temperature record set in July 2022 by a staggering 0.7 degrees Fahrenheit. Climatologists point out that uncomfortably warm nights are one of the most definitive signatures of human-driven climate change. High concentrations of greenhouse gases trap outgoing longwave radiation close to the Earth’s surface long after sunset. The physiological and infrastructural consequences of these elevated nighttime floors were felt severely across North America. When overnight temperatures fail to cool sufficiently, human bodies, livestock, and urban infrastructure lose their ability to recover from daytime heat stress. The sustained thermal stress strained municipal power grids, triggered localized water delivery alerts, and contributed to scores of heat-related illnesses and hospitalizations. In several western jurisdictions, compounding factors such as lingering droughts and severe heat domes fueled destructive wildfires, while critical water reservoirs like Lake Mead dipped toward critical levels.   Interestingly, temperature patterns across non-contiguous states diverged sharply from the mainland. Hawaii recorded near-average daytime conditions while Alaska experienced its coolest July since 2008, accompanied by record rainfall in regions around Anchorage. However, across the Lower 48, the pattern remained stubbornly hot and generally dry. As federal forecasters look ahead, climate projections suggest that the thermal pressure will persist, with above-average temperatures expected to hold firm across much of the central and southern United States well into late summer.
