Landmanseason 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 the main protagonist Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton), butMoore’s character doesn’t factor greatly into the show’s first ten episodes. Though she stepped into the spotlight in a big way fortheLandmanseason 1 finale, the limited screen time for an Oscar-nominated performer raised a few eyebrows.
The Hollywood Reporterconfirmed thatfilming has begun onLandmanseason 2, adding that Moore’s name will appear second in the credits moving forward. This means thatCami 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 ofLandman, it’s worth noting thatCami didn’t appear in 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 asCoralie Fargeat’s body horror filmThe Substancewas gaining steam for Moore’s lead performance, which ultimately garnered an Oscar nomination, the difference was striking. In several scenes, Cami would just be seen swimming.

Our Take On Demi Moore’s Bigger Role
It’s Worked Out
Landmanseason 2does not currently have a release date. 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.
