The second season of Taylor Sheridan's oil drama Landman premiered on Paramount+ on November 16, 2025, with Episode 1, 'Death and a Sunset,' focusing on Cami Miller's ascent to power at MTex Oil following her husband Monty's death. Demi Moore's portrayal of Cami culminates in a bold speech that asserts her authority amid skepticism from industry bigwigs. The episode also introduces Tommy Norris's father and ends with the news of his mother's passing.
Episode Highlights
In the Season 2 premiere, Cami (Demi Moore) steps into the role of head of MTex Oil after Monty Miller's (Jon Hamm) fatal heart attack from Season 1. The episode opens with Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) defending the company's stability during a meeting of oil financiers in Fort Worth, assuring them that Cami's leadership won't disrupt contracts. Skepticism runs high due to MTex's $500 million debt, with some suggesting Cami sell the company.
Cami faces personal doubts, hyperventilating in the ladies' room before being mocked by younger women as 'old' in this 'young woman's game.' This fuels her resolve, leading to a scorching speech at the luncheon. 'The only difference between me and Monty is that I'm meaner,' she declares. 'Test me, and you'll find out how much. Enjoy your lunch. I paid for it with your f**king money.' The room erupts in applause, solidifying her position, though Tommy warns her of incoming bad deals.
Elsewhere, Cooper (Jacob Lofland) strikes oil on a risky well, securing $29,000 daily revenue for himself and Ariana (Paulina Chavez). Ainsley (Michelle Randolph) gains admission to Texas Christian University via her cheerleading spot, despite a disastrous interview. The episode introduces T.L. (Sam Elliott) as Tommy's father in a nursing home, watching the sunset after learning of his wife Dorothy's death.
At a family dinner, Angela (Ali Larter) serves an extravagant cacio e pepe, but tensions erupt over her Fort Worth house plans. Tommy's insensitive comment sparks a tantrum, resolved through their volatile makeup routine—until he receives news of his mother's death.
Behind the Scenes
Demi Moore discussed preparing for Cami's grief in an interview, noting she was 'not entirely prepared' for the emotional depth. She met real oil widows to authentically portray their 'fierce' femininity, delivering the speech in seven or eight takes on her first day back. 'It was so fun, so juicy,' Moore said of Taylor Sheridan's writing. The season explores Cami's drive to preserve Monty's legacy, with Tommy as her initial guide.
