Landman Season 2’s Final Trailer Reveals Monty Miller Was The Real Villain In Season 1
After teasing that Moore would have a more substantial role in Landman Season 2, the final trailer reveals what Cami is really up against. In the final trailer for Landman’s sophomore run, Cami tells Tommy that she has gone through every email and file her husband left behind and, in doing so, has uncovered the cause of his stress. Cami reveals that she discovered her husband is guilty of embezzlement, insurance fraud, and wire fraud, leaving a trail of crimes in his wake that his closest allies must attend to as they take over the company. The stress Monty endured was a defining aspect of Hamm’s character in Landman Season 1. During Hamm’s limited screentime, Monty was almost always shown under extreme duress, putting out the metaphorical and sometimes literal fires that came up in the oil business. However, Cami reveals that Monty’s grief wasn’t just the run-of-the-mill oil business. Apparently, the oil tycoon had paved his way to success with a series of crimes that exacerbated his decline, adding weight to the development that Monty died from a heart attack in Landman Season 1’s finale.
Monty’s Betrayal Makes Demi Moore’s Landman Season 2 Role Even Better
The upside to Monty’s betrayal is that it sets his widow up for an even more intense season. The development will better utilize Moore’s range, who was relegated to background scenes until the final moments of Landman Season 1, when Cami stepped up and made decisions about the future of M-Tex. As Monty lay in a hospital bed, awaiting a heart transplant after a fifth heart attack, Cami was more vibrant as she took center stage and shouldered the responsibility of her husband’s illness. The same will be true of Moore’s character as she navigates another obstacle her husband caused. Other Landman Season 2 trailers revealed that Cami would retake center stage, throwing her hat into the ring Monty navigated in Season 1. The reveal that Monty’s widow would be a key player in Season 2 followed through on the promise that Moore would have a bigger role in the show’s sophomore run, with reports saying that the Academy Award-nominated actor would take second billing in the cast when the series returned. After the latest trailer, audiences can appreciate what Moore is up against. It’s not just the oil business Monty left her, but his transgressions.
Landman Season 2 Promises To Fix The Biggest Complaint About Season 1
Landman Season 2’s final trailer, and the others that preceded it, promise to address the biggest complaint about Demi Moore’s role and the first season of Sheridan’s oil drama. There was resounding audience feedback on Landman Season 1 that Moore’s talent was wasted on a background character with relatively few meaningful scenes. However, Moore’s deeper purpose in the series began to take shape in Landman’s finale, when she stepped up to run M-Tex. Landman Season 2 will build on that development, as Cami steps into the foreground, giving Moore a role more suited to her caliber. With Landman’s final trailer, the oil saga promises higher stakes for Cami and a conflict of significant emotional weight. Uncovering Monty’s betrayal perhaps contextualizes some of his wife’s most tense scenes in the previews for the upcoming season, which show Moore utilizing her full acting range. With the warning she gives a room full of prominent bankers in the official trailer, promising she’s meaner than her husband, Cami will flip the script on what audiences expect from her after Season 1, all while processing that the comfortable life she enjoyed was built on schemes and lies.
