Landman Season 2 Officially Corrects Taylor Sheridan’s Biggest Season 1 Mistake

by

The new series *Landman* appears to be addressing a controversial decision from its first season. Created by Taylor Sheridan, the oil drama launched in 2024 alongside the final episodes of *Yellowstone*, bringing Billy Bob Thornton into Sheridan’s connected universe as Tommy Norris. Tommy is a problem-solver for M-Tex Oil and will lead the company in the upcoming second season. Season 1 also featured Tommy’s family, played by Ali Larter, Michelle Randolph, and Jacob Lofland as Angela, Ainsley, and Cooper Norris, respectively.

Season 1 of *Landman* also featured Jon Hamm and Demi Moore as Monty and Cami Miller, a powerful couple in the Texas oil world. Despite their star power, they didn’t appear as much as some viewers anticipated. However, the trailer for the next season suggests Cami Miller will have a much larger role, responding to feedback from the first season and significantly developing her character.

Demi Moore’s Disappointing Role In Landman Season 1 Explained

When *Landman* first came out, many viewers were excited about the casting of Moore and Hamm, but felt they weren’t featured enough in Season 1. While Monty Miller remained central to the story, Hamm’s role was smaller than expected, and Moore’s character appeared even less frequently. Cami Miller also had limited screen time, mainly showing a more relaxed, family-oriented side of the Millers, like spending time by the pool or at their daughters’ events.

Fans were a little let down by the smaller roles given to both Moore and Hamm after the initial excitement of their casting. While Hamm’s character had a few important scenes near the end of the first season, his part wasn’t as significant as many anticipated. Now that Hamm has left the show, Moore’s character is finally getting the focus the trailer for Season 2 suggested she would.

Demi Moore’s Cami Miller Was Set To Become A Leading Character In Landman Season 2

Following her brief appearances in the first season, news that Mary Moore’s role would be expanded for the second season was welcomed. Studio announcements confirmed Moore would share equal billing with the lead actor, giving her a much larger part in the show. This change aligned with expectations, particularly after Moore received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for her performance in the film *The Substance*.

The show subtly suggested big changes were coming for Moore’s character. Meanwhile, Cami Miller had a larger role, especially as her husband, Tommy, struggled with a life-threatening illness. As Tommy’s health declined, Cami took control of the company and approved a high-stakes drilling project that was on the verge of failing. Her strong and determined handling of the deal gave viewers a taste of what they can expect from her character in the next season.

Landman Season 2’s Official Trailer Confirms It Will Follow Up On Its Demi Moore Promise

The recently released trailer for the new season confirms Cami Miller will be a central figure in the oilfield drama, fulfilling expectations for a larger role. It clearly establishes her as a key player, showing her facing intense and emotional challenges as she deals with the loss of her husband. Her experiences in the first season have effectively prepared her character for this journey, suggesting her storyline was planned from the beginning.

Following the first season of *Landman*, Thornton revealed that Taylor Sheridan had already planned Monty’s death before Tim DeKay was even cast in the role (according to ScreenRant). This means Monty’s death wasn’t just a plot point, but a key element in building the show’s emotional impact, highlighting the intense pressures and physical hardships of the oil business. Similarly, Moore’s turn of events—her husband’s death—seems intentional, positioning her to take control of M-Tex Oil and deliver the strong, assertive character viewers had been anticipating.
