The Landman Power Shift: Why Demi Moore's Cami Miller Is The New Oil Boss To Watch In Season 2
The highly anticipated second season of Taylor Sheridan’s oil drama, Landman, has finally arrived, premiering on Sunday, November 16, 2025, and it brings with it a massive power shift in the West Texas oil fields. This season immediately thrusts one of Hollywood’s most enduring stars, Demi Moore, into the spotlight, transforming her character from a billionaire’s elegant wife to the ruthless, "meaner" boss of M-Tex Oil. The series, which is based on the *Boomtown* podcast, continues to explore the volatile world of wildcat billionaires and roughnecks, but the new episodes are dominated by the fallout from the Season 1 finale’s shocking death and the subsequent rise of Cami Miller.
The latest episodes, dropping weekly on Paramount+ until the finale on January 18, 2026, confirm that Landman is not just a vehicle for Billy Bob Thornton’s protagonist, Tommy Norris, but a stage for Moore's dramatic return to a major television role. Her character’s evolution is central to the new narrative, promising a compelling exploration of greed, power, and survival in the high-stakes world of energy.
Demi Moore: Full Biography and Her Landman Character Profile
Demi Moore, who takes center stage in Landman Season 2, has had a long and celebrated career, establishing herself as one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars in the 1990s. Her profile is essential to understanding the star power she brings to the Taylor Sheridan universe.
- Full Name: Demetria Gene Moore (née Guynes)
- Born: November 11, 1962
- Birthplace: Roswell, New Mexico, U.S.
- Career Highlights: Moore rose to prominence as a member of the "Brat Pack" in the 1980s. She achieved international stardom with the blockbuster film *Ghost* (1990), which earned her a Golden Globe nomination. She then became the highest-paid actress in Hollywood by 1995, starring in major films like *A Few Good Men*, *Indecent Proposal*, and *G.I. Jane*.
- Notable Filmography: *St. Elmo's Fire* (1985), *Ghost* (1990), *A Few Good Men* (1992), *Indecent Proposal* (1993), *Disclosure* (1994), *The Hunchback of Notre Dame* (1996), and *G.I. Jane* (1997).
- Landman Role: Cami Miller. She is introduced in Season 1 as the elegant, long-suffering wife of billionaire oil magnate Monty Miller (Jon Hamm). Following Monty’s sudden death, Cami inherits the entirety of M-Tex Oil. She quickly sheds her previous persona to become the new, formidable owner and CEO, described as "meaner" and unprepared for the challenges of the oil sector.
The Shocking Power Vacuum: Cami Miller Takes Charge of M-Tex Oil
The dramatic shift in Cami Miller’s arc is the most compelling element of *Landman* Season 2. In the first season, Demi Moore's character was largely in the background, serving as the sophisticated, often-baffled spouse to Jon Hamm’s charismatic but ruthless Monty Miller. Her limited presence in Season 1 even drew criticism from fans who felt the series was "wasting" an A-list talent.
However, the Season 1 finale changed everything. Monty Miller was killed off, leaving a massive void at the top of M-Tex Oil. Season 2, which premiered in November 2025, has immediately capitalized on this, showing Cami Miller’s raw grief in the wake of her husband’s death, including a powerful scene where she collapses in sobs.
This grief quickly transforms into a steely resolve. Cami, now the sole owner of the oil company, is forced to step into a world she previously only observed from a distance—a world of roughnecks, land deals, and cutthroat business practices. Reports from the set and interviews with the cast suggest Cami is not merely a placeholder but a formidable new force, determined to take control and protect her inherited empire. She is now the "boss," a "Landwoman" who the men in the oil sector are reportedly unprepared for.
This narrative provides a fresh dynamic for the series, moving the focus beyond the traditional "landman" role played by Billy Bob Thornton and exploring the "upstairs" world of the wildcat billionaires through a powerful female lens. The rivalry and necessary alliance between Cami Miller and Tommy Norris are set to define the new season.
A Deep Dive into the Star-Studded Landman Cast and Characters
Taylor Sheridan is known for assembling powerhouse ensembles, and *Landman* is no exception. The cast is filled with Oscar winners, Emmy nominees, and rising stars from the *Yellowstone* universe, ensuring topical authority and high-quality performances.
Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris
Tommy Norris is the central protagonist of the series. An Oscar-winning actor for *Sling Blade*, Billy Bob Thornton portrays Norris as a weather-beaten "landman" who serves as a fixer for M-Tex Oil. A landman is a professional who negotiates leases and surface rights with property owners on behalf of oil companies. By Season 2, Tommy has been promoted to President of M-Tex, placing him in a direct and likely tense relationship with the new owner, Cami Miller.
Jon Hamm as Monty Miller (Season 1)
The Emmy-winning star of *Mad Men*, Jon Hamm, played Monty Miller, the charismatic but ruthless oil titan and owner of M-Tex Oil. Monty’s death in the Season 1 finale was a pivotal moment, setting up the entire premise for the second season’s power struggle. Hamm’s performance was noted for its "delightful ambiguity," establishing the high stakes of the Texas oil industry.
Ali Larter as Angela Norris
Ali Larter, best known for her roles in *Heroes* and *Final Destination*, plays Angela Norris, Tommy’s ex-wife. Her character arc in Season 1 was controversial due to its sexual storyline, but Larter has defended the role, stating that Taylor Sheridan’s writing often sparks necessary conversation. Angela’s relationship with Tommy and their daughter Ainsley is a key emotional thread in the series.
Michelle Randolph as Ainsley Norris
A rising star in the Sheridan universe, Michelle Randolph portrays Ainsley Norris, the determined and resilient daughter of Tommy and Angela. Randolph is a familiar face to Sheridan fans, as she also played Elizabeth Strafford in the prequel series *1923*. Her connection to both the roughneck world (through her father) and the high-society drama (through her family’s struggles) provides a crucial perspective.
The Supporting Power Players
The ensemble is rounded out by several other significant entities, including veteran actor Andy Garcia, who brings his gravitas to the high-stakes drama. Jacob Lofland, Paulina Chávez, and Kayla Wallace also hold key roles, further fleshing out the upstairs/downstairs narrative that pits the roughnecks on the oil rigs against the wildcat billionaires in the boardrooms. The series is a gritty, modern-day tale of fortune seeking, making it a powerful successor in the Taylor Sheridan franchise.
With Cami Miller now at the helm, the second season of *Landman* promises to be a stormy exploration of wealth, grief, and power. The show is leveraging its star-studded cast and fresh, high-stakes plot to solidify its place as the next major hit on Paramount+.
