Big Changes in Landman Season 2 Featuring Demi Moore

Demi Moore is reveling in her recent Golden Globes success, but what implications does this have for the trajectory of Landman? As Taylor Sheridan’s two-month showcase nears its conclusion, with premieres of Lioness Season 2, Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2, and Landman all debuting in November, the series finale is expected this week. Fans will have to wait until February when 1923 Season 2 returns to explore more of Sheridan’s storytelling.

Unpacking the Allure of Landman

Landman stands out as one of Sheridan’s most compelling new series from 2025, capturing attention with its nuanced portrayal of the high-stakes oil industry. Starring Billy Bob Thornton, the show has sparked both praise and criticism among its viewers—none more so than during the shocking Ainsley moment in Episode 1.

Demi Moore’s Underutilization as Cami

One recurring critique from audiences has been the insufficient screen time for Demi Moore, who plays Cami, the wife of tycoon Monty Miller. Viewers noted her sparse appearances throughout the season, leading many to question her casting in the role entirely. However, Episode 9 introduced a significant plot twist, reigniting discussions about her character’s potential future.

As theories circulated regarding Monty’s fate—hinted at via his ongoing heart issues—speculation abounded that Cami might rise to prominence within the business, potentially making her Tommy’s supervisor. This could pave the way for Moore to emerge as a surprise lead if Monty were to exit the storyline unexpectedly.

A Shift in Narrative Focus?

With Moore’s recent accolades for her role in The Substance and the looming possibility of an Oscar nomination, there may be greater expectations to expand her role within Landman. This could introduce a new audience eager to support Moore’s career. However, the success of her recent projects could also lead to her taking on fewer commitments, thereby limiting her involvement in the series.

Potential Parallels with Yellowstone

Currently, Landman has not officially been renewed for a second season. Yet, the cast is optimistic about a potential start to production later this year. Moore herself has expressed enthusiasm about returning for Season 2, which is tentatively scheduled to begin early next year.

However, the evolving nature of Moore’s career might complicate matters. As demand for her talent rises in 2025, the prospect of her reducing her role or even exiting entirely could mirror the challenges faced by Yellowstone following Kevin Costner’s departure. If Sheridan intends to elevate Cami’s role in the storyline, any departure by Moore could disrupt continuity.

The departure of a key character can leave a series struggling, as observed with Yellowstone, where many fans linked the declining quality to Costner’s absence. Despite its early-stage development, Landman has the potential for exciting narratives. However, the loss of Moore would be a disappointing turn of events, particularly given her limited opportunity to showcase her abilities thus far.

Mark your calendars—Landman Episode 10 will premiere on Paramount+ on Sunday, January 12.
