Demi Moore teases ‘Landman’ season 2, what she thought of real-life Fort Worth oil women

Production on “Landman” season 1 is still ongoing in Fort Worth, but series star Demi Moore is already discussing future iterations of the show.

“Landman” is the latest series from “Yellowstone” creator and North Texas native Taylor Sheridan. The new Paramount+ series stars Billy Bob Thornton and is set in the world of oil prospectors.

Cameras began rolling on “Landman” in February in and around Fort Worth. Along with Moore and Thornton, the show stars Ali Larter and Jon Hamm, who was seen exploring the Cowtown culinary scene betwixt filming.

Speaking to talk show host Kelly Ripa on her podcast “Let’s Talk Off Camera,” Moore chatted about working with the show’s talented cast and that “Landman” is actually set in Fort Worth.

“It’s kind of really delving into the world of oil,” Moore said. “For me, this will be really interesting because I think a lot more will be revealed in season 2, for me.”

Is ‘Landman’ already getting a second season?

There’s no official word on a second season of “Landman” from Paramount, but Moore seemed to suggest that multiple seasons were planned for the show.

“Landman” is co-created and executive produced by Sheridan and Christian Wallace, which is based on Texas Monthly’s podcast “Boomtown” that Wallace wrote and hosted.

Since Sheridan and Paramount got into business together with “Yellowstone” in 2018, the creator has made several shows for the company. Most of these shows, except for “1883” which was envisioned as a limited series, have received additional seasons.

“Yellowstone” is on season 5, “Mayor of Kingstown” season 3 premieres this summer, “Tulsa King” is currently in production on season 2 and a second season of “1923” has been ordered.

Only the 2023-released shows “Lawmen: Bass Reeves” and “Special Ops: Lioness” have not received official word from Paramount on additional seasons.

Demi Moore meet with Fort Worth oil women for ‘Landman’ role

While Moore didn’t reveal much about the plot of “Landman” on the podcast, she did share that her character is based on real-life oil women that Sheridan knows.

Sheridan arranged a get-together for Moore to meet these women while in Fort Worth shooting the show. An experience that Moore recalled fondly, saying they all spent several hours together.

I have to say, these are Fort Worth women, not Dallas women, Fort Worth women,” Moore said. “By the way, it is different.”

Moore went on to describe this group of women as “powerhouses” and community leaders who are integral parts of the Fort Worth infrastructure.

While meeting with the group, Moore said she took notice of how they dressed and the lavish jewelry they wore. One women even brought Moore a collection of jewelry to wear in the show.

I had one of the ladies say, ‘Please just come to my closet’,” Moore said.

When asked by Ripa to describe her role on “Landman,” Moore revealed that she’s playing the wife of Hamm’s character.

In Paramount’s announcement of Moore joining the cast, the release said she’s playing Cami, wife to one of the most powerful oil men (Hamm) in Texas and friend of Tommy Norris (Thornton). Hamm is set to play Monty Miller, a titan of the Texas oil industry.

Moore only offered a tease as to her character, saying she has a “good marriage, good family.”

“She’s devoted to her daughters,” Moore said. “Again, more will be revealed in season 2.”

Moore didn’t need to see a script to jump on Sheridan’s ‘Landman’

Before Moore met with Sheridan for the “Landman” role, she did a deep dive of his work.

Moore said she already had watched quite a bit of Sheridan’s work, but went back to analyze his writing and was “blown away” by how “interesting and strong” the women in these shows are.

Before Moore agreed to join the show, she didn’t get to see a script but trusted Sheridan on the backbone of his previous work.

“It really just instilled me with so much confidence to say, ‘You know what? Let’s roll the dice, let’s go. We’ll have fun. We’ll have fun with this’,” Moore said.

“Landman” is still in production in Fort Worth and will release on Paramount+ at a later date.
