From Plausible to Outrageous
🚨 Spoiler Alert: This article dives into major Landman Season 1 events. Read on only if you’re caught up.
ℹ️ Note: These theories are pure speculation from passionate fans online. No official confirmations here—just popcorn-worthy guessing.
If there’s one thing Landman Season 1 taught us, it’s that West Texas runs on oil, secrets, and more twists than a rattlesnake in heat. Now, with Season 2 on the horizon, fans are tossing out predictions like rig hands tossing beers after shift.
Some theories? Genuinely plausible. Others? Let’s just say they require a lot of tinfoil. But all of them? Absolutely entertaining. We’ve been combing Reddit threads, fan forums, and comment sections to gather the wildest ideas buzzing across the fandom. So buckle up—here are the boldest Season 2 theories, ranked from “Maybe” to “Whoa, okay now.”
🧿 Monty Miller: Dead… or Plotting in the Shadows?
Likelihood: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆
Jon Hamm’s character, Monty, checked out in the finale—or did he? His off-screen death set off alarm bells for viewers. As Newsweek and Sportskeeda both pointed out, there’s room for a twist here. We never saw a body. In TV logic, that’s basically an invitation for a comeback.
One Redditor floated a detailed possibility: Monty survived the shooting but fell into a coma, and now needs a heart transplant. The grey wolf that died in the finale? A metaphor for Monty’s public legacy ending, while his private self fights to return.
It may sound like soap opera stuff, but hey—if Taylor Sheridan wanted him gone for good, wouldn’t he show it?
🕵️♀️ Cami’s Quiet Power Move
Likelihood: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
Now let’s talk about Cami. Demi Moore played her with subtlety—maybe too much. She didn’t get a ton of screen time, which some fans say is suspicious considering her A-list status.
According to FandomWire, some believe Sheridan’s hiding a major plot twist in plain sight. The theory? Cami orchestrated Monty’s downfall, either through manipulation or by setting him up to fail. Maybe she wanted control of M-TEX. Maybe she struck a deal with Rebecca. Or maybe she’s got her eyes on even bigger game.
Whatever the reason, fans are convinced there’s more to her than frightened calls and snake encounters.
👨👦 Tommy vs. Cooper: Family Business Gets Ugly
Likelihood: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆
Tommy Norris and his son Cooper seemed like a solid duo, but Reddit sleuths aren’t buying the harmony. One fan theorized that Cooper might splinter off, especially if cartel money comes calling.
We already know Cooper is ambitious. Add in some tension over oil leases and moral gray areas, and you’ve got the makings of a classic family rift. Think Succession but with roughnecks and rifles.
So, will Cooper go rogue? Or worse—betray his father to grab a stake in cartel-backed oil?
💼 Rebecca’s Rise
Likelihood: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
Rebecca Falcone’s been a dark horse since her first icy monologue. The theory goes: with Monty gone, she’ll maneuver into a position of power. Fast.
As Reddit threads pointed out, she could team up with Tommy to counter Cami, or pit them against each other while she reaps the rewards. One fan suggested she might even be eyeing cartel alliances, too.
If Season 2 gives Rebecca more screen time, we might be looking at the next oil queen of Texas.
😈 Tommy’s Cartel Gamble
Likelihood: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆
Speaking of risky moves—fans are buzzing about Tommy potentially turning to the cartel. Sounds insane, right? But think about it: he’s desperate to save the company, and in the land of black gold, cash is king.
One Redditor laid it out plainly: Tommy goes to the cartel for funding to buy out Cami and secure the leases. What could go wrong? (Answer: everything.)
This could spiral into breaking-bad territory, and we’d be here for every chaotic minute.
🐓 Ghosts and Grey Wolves
Likelihood: ⭐⭐☆☆☆
There’s a poetic angle some fans are leaning into. In Episode 9, Monty kills a grey wolf—and later, we hear of his supposed death. Some theorists read this as spiritual foreshadowing.
But others argue the wolf might symbolize Monty’s public legacy dying while the man himself survives in secret. Maybe he’s off the grid. Maybe he’s pulling strings from a hospital bed. Maybe he’s the wolf.
Symbolic? Sure. Wild? A little. Fun? Absolutely.
🚨 Angela’s Secret Life?
Likelihood: ⭐☆☆☆☆
Here’s one that really stretches the imagination. Some fans think Angela, Tommy’s wife, isn’t just a supportive partner—she might be hiding a past. Cartel connections? Corporate espionage? A secret child?
No hard evidence yet, but a few viewers suspect Taylor Sheridan likes dropping bombshells late in the game. Could Angela be the next one?
Time will tell.
🧡 Cami and the Snake: Symbolism Overload?
Likelihood: ⭐⭐☆☆☆
Remember when Cami called Tommy to deal with a literal snake? Some fans think this wasn’t just random Texas wildlife.
One Redditor suggested the moment symbolized Cami as someone who “needs a man” to save her—but also could flip the script and become the snake herself.
Is she prey, predator, or both?
🌟 The Most Meta Theory: Taylor Sheridan Steps In
Likelihood: ⭐☆☆☆☆
Okay, this one’s a stretch, but it’s too funny to ignore. A handful of fans believe Taylor Sheridan might write himself into Landman the same way he has in Yellowstone.
The theory? He’ll pop up in Season 2 as a charismatic consultant or rugged oil man who fixes everything. It’s mostly a meme, but hey, never say never with Sheridan.
What If We’re All Wrong?
Fan theories are half the fun of waiting for a new season, and Landman fans know how to spin some juicy ones. Whether you’re leaning toward Monty’s secret survival or hoping Cami goes full Lady Macbeth, there’s no shortage of drama to anticipate.
So what’s next for West Texas? Betrayals? Big deals? Bigger explosions?
Only Taylor Sheridan knows. And he’s not talking. Yet.
