SPOILER ALERT! This post contains spoilers from the Landman season finale!
Landman season one came to an end this week and there are several questions from fans!However, one big question is the status of one of the show’s stars, Demi Moore, should the Paramount+ series get renewed for a second season. The 62-year-old Golden Globe winning actress starred in the series as Cami Miller, the wife of Jon Hamm‘s Monty Miller and a friend to Billy Bob Thornton‘s Tommy Norris.
In the season one finale, Jon Hamm‘s character died. So, what does that mean for Demi‘s Cami and will she return to the show? Will she have a bigger role?
Billy Bob told Deadline, “I think definitely if there were to be a second season, Demi will figure into it greatly.”
In another interview, co-creator Christian Wallace also teased her return.
“There is a lot more story left to tell with Cami,” he told Variety. “Taylor [Sheridan] has big plans, that’s all I’m going to say.”
Moore’s Bigger Role In Landman Season 2 & What It Could Mean
It Sets Up An Interesting Dynamic
Monty’s fate by the end of Landman is set into motion by the penultimate episode. The character is found unresponsive and gets transferred to a hospital. He needs a heart transplant if he has any hope of surviving. But, in the finale’s closing moments, it’s clear that the incapacitated Monty doesn’t make it. He dies, leaving behind distraught children and a shocked Cami.
The finale, written by Sheridan and directed by Stephen Kay, is arguably the most Moore has had to do all season. She has been mostly cornered off in scenes with Hamm and can be reliably seen swimming. It becomes more jarring because of Moore’s heavily praised body horror role, which could land an Oscar nomination. It may also be a sleight of hand, though, that allows Moore to step into the spotlight in the drama’s second chapter as she moves forward in her business endeavors with Tommy and without Monty.
Our Take On Moore’s Bigger Role In Landman Season 2
Expect The Show To Return
Landman season 2 is not officially confirmed. But in remarks prior to the show’s premiere, Moore mentioned that there was already a plan to begin filming the second installment. Intentionally or just as the byproduct of Hamm’s short stint, viewers will likely get the chance to learn more about Cami’s friendship with Tommy and her life outside of Monty after she previously took on a supporting capacity. It may end up being a smart use of an award-winning performer after all.
We are currently still awaiting a renewal update on Landman. However, it seems a second season is VERY likely as the show was the No. 1 Paramount+ original (series or movie) ever for the streaming service!
