Landman Season 1: Fans Predict Death of Major Character Before Finale

In Episode 8 of “Landman,”viewers were on the edge of their seats as one character faced a significant health scare. With just two episodes remaining in this ten-part series, speculation is rampant about whether they will survive until the finale. (Spoilers ahead!)

Despite being only eight episodes into the season, “Landman”has seen a staggering amount of on-screen casualties. Following two major explosions right at the start—a plane crash and an oil well disaster—the tension has only escalated. Episode 8 concluded with a shocking cliffhanger featuring an accidental killing involving the National Guard.

With only two episodes left, the stakes are higher than ever. Ainsley appears to be in grave danger of a cartel kidnapping, while Jon Hamm’s character, Monty Miller, is grappling with the aftermath of another heart attack.

Monty’s Fate in “Landman”: Fans Speculate

In Episode 8, Monty endured a heart attack following weeks of mounting anxiety and stress. For dedicated viewers, this incident might not come as a surprise. Since the first episode, Monty has been managing his health through medications, with his wife Cami (played by Demi Moore) monitoring his diet and lifestyle closely.

Complications in Monty’s professional life have done little to ease his pressure; the chaos surrounding the plane crash, threats from the cartel, and a failed business deal have culminated in a tense outburst where Monty yelled at M-Tex Oil’s lawyer, Rebecca, from his car. Shortly after, he clutched his chest in apparent distress.

Eventually, Monty instructed his driver to take him to the hospital, and though we later see him alive during a medical examination, the threat to his health persists. While Monty seems stable for now, it’s clear that one more incident could push him over the edge, leading fans of Taylor Sheridan’s drama to fear for his future.

“Anyone else feel like they’re setting Monty up to die by the end of the season?” questioned one Reddit user. “It seems like a classic Taylor Sheridan twist, considering his penchant for dramatic character exits.”

Another user speculated the narrative direction, saying, “Wouldn’t it be odd to cast Demi Moore just as a background character? If Monty were to pass, would she not become the central figure in Season 2?” Other speculations included humorous yet insightful comments like, “He’s definitely going to have a heart attack—probably while enjoying that magnificent pool.” Some even drew practical conclusions, suggesting Monty’s possible departure might be financially motivated given Hamm’s commitments to other projects.

Fans can look forward to Episode 9, scheduled to air on Sunday, January 5, exclusively on Paramount+. For those curious about the intricacies of what a landman does, or to keep up with the release schedule and streaming options for the series, more information is readily available.
