Jon Hamm's Character Dies in Landman Finale

In the season finale of Paramount+'s 'Landman,' Jon Hamm's character Monty Miller, an oil tycoon, dies after struggling with multiple heart attacks and a failed bypass surgery, confirmed by co-creator Christian Wallace. The final scenes left viewers uncertain about Monty's fate, but Hamm acknowledged the character's death as a pivotal moment that allows his friend Tommy Norris, played by Billy Bob Thornton, to take charge of M-Tex Oil. Hamm expressed gratitude for his role, noting the show's cultural impact and the caliber of his co-stars, including Demi Moore. He also mentioned that the decision for a one-season commitment was due to his other projects, making it unlikely for him to return in a potential second season. The show explores themes of family and the personal toll of the oil business, as highlighted by Hamm's reflections on Monty's struggles. While the series has not been officially renewed, its success has sparked hopes for a continuation of the story.
