Landman Season 2 Casting Update Just Resolved A Major Complaint About Demi Moore’s Involvement

Landman season 2 has already resolved a major complaint related to Demi Moore with the latest filming update. In the Paramount+ oil drama, which is co-created by Christian Wallace and Taylor Sheridan, Moore plays the role of Cami Moore. She’s the wife of Monty Miller (Jon Hamm) and a friend to main protagonist Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton), but Moore’s character doesn’t factor greatly into the show’s first ten episodes. Though she steps into the spotlight in a big way for the Landman season 1 finale, the limited screentime for an Oscar-nominated performer raised a few eyebrows.

The Hollywood Reporter confirms that filming has begun on Landman season 2, adding that Moore’s name will appear second in the credits moving forward and that Cami is expected to have a significantly increased presence on-screen. For the first season, Moore’s name appeared second-to-last in the credits. It’s a placement frequently reserved for when high-profile actors are part of a film or television series.

What This Means For Landman Season 2

Cami’s Bigger Role Has Already Been Teased

For a sense of how infrequently Moore appears in the initial installment of Landman, it’s worth noting that Cami misses three episodes out of ten. When she does make her debut in the second episode, the camera hardly focuses on her as the attention is all on Monty. Considering that the series was coming out in late 2024, just as Coralie Fargeat’s body horror film The Substance was gaining steam, particularly for Moore’s lead performance, which ultimately garnered an Oscar nomination, the difference was striking. In several scenes, Cami would just be seen swimming.

Moore is now second-billed, helping to lead a Landman cast that includes Andy Garcia, Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace, Mark Collie, James Jordan, and Colm Feore. Her bigger role has been teased by the show’s producers and telegraphed in the finale, with Monty dying and Cami having to continue what her husband left behind.

Our Take On Demi Moore’s Bigger Role

It’s Worked Out

Landman season 2 does not currently have a release date. But when it does return, it might look like the hit show made a clever creative choice by keeping an acclaimed actor relatively in the background only to put a spotlight on her after her commanding portrayal in an Oscar-worthy film. Whether that was always the plan or not, it’s definitely to the benefit of the Paramount+ drama that Moore will be around more. It paves the way for Cami to potentially spar with Tommy over what Monty’s legacy should be.
