Once I realized about Landman, I used to be blown away by the solid, with Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Hamm and Demi Moore standing out as the massive names I couldn’t wait to see on display screen. So, you may think about my disappointment when the actress on that record was barely used. I wasn’t the one one feeling this manner both, many have been shocked by Moore’s lack of screentime. Nonetheless, now, the co-creator of this Texas-set present has opened up about her function and the followers’ response to her character Cami in Season 1.
As Landman ran via the tip of 2024 and into the 2025 TV schedule, I saved questioning week after week if Moore’s character would lastly get a giant breakout second. Then, when she landed on the 2025 Golden Globe winner’s record for her function in The Substance, it put an exclamation level on this concern, as a result of this actress is having a second and it’s baffling that she didn’t play an even bigger function on this present.
Fortunately, the present’s co-creator and government producer, Christian Wallace, addressed this and Cami’s future throughout an interview with TV Line, saying:
Cami is certainly a power to be reckoned with, and we haven’t precisely gotten to see her, such as you talked about, actually exert that energy and affect, as a result of she’s been in a really completely different function within the first season. And so, if the story have been to proceed, it will be very fascinating to see what Cami’s function could be on this world when she’s the individual nearer to the highest and is making these choices in a world that’s nonetheless largely populated by males.
For mainly all of Season 1, Moore was merely taking part in Monty’s spouse. We noticed her at a observe meet within the pool and finally mourning her husband. Nonetheless, at no level, did she ever actually get her personal storyline. That’s wild, particularly as a result of DEMI MOORE is taking part in the half.
Nonetheless, it appears like they’ve one thing cooking for her. If Landman will get a second season, it looks like that’s when the Ghost actress may actually shine. With Jon Hamm’s Monty useless, there’s a number of shifting happening inside MTex’s hierarchy, and I really feel like Cami will play a component in that, as Wallace alluded. Mainly, I wish to see her making a giant play for energy or taking management of the corporate and delivering monologues that make me love her like I love Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy.
Wallace spoke to that concept as properly, saying:
There are increasingly ladies within the oil discipline, together with ladies who are actually occupying C-suites in a number of the largest corporations in that business. So Cami wouldn’t be getting into that world alone. Nevertheless it’s undoubtedly extra male-dominated, and so that may be only a very fascinating function for her to play, transferring ahead. And particularly having Demi play that character, who can also be on the peak of her powers? I believe that may simply be form of unbelievable to observe.
Notably, Landman’s evaluations identified its illustration of girls as a problem, and I agree. Within the case of Cami, she was deeply underutilized and there wasn’t a lot dimension to her character. I actually solely know that she’s Monty’s spouse and has a previous with Tommy. Nonetheless, if Wallace’s level involves fruition in Season 2, that might change.
I wish to see Moore being an influence participant on this present, and it looks like they is perhaps setting her as much as be. So, right here’s hoping that if we get extra Landman it additionally means we get extra Cami.
Nonetheless, in the meanwhile, you may return and watch Landman with a Paramount+ subscription and begin theorizing about how they may replace Demi Moore’s half to make her a significant character on this epic drama.
