Fans of Landman are bracing for impact after Episode 9, “Plans, Tears and Sirens,” raised a very real question: is the Season 2 finale about to mark the end for one of the show’s main characters?

After a measured start to Season 2, the series has accelerated sharply in its final stretch. The penultimate episode left multiple storylines hanging in dangerous territory—especially those involving Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy Norris, Demi Moore’s Cami Miller, and Jacob Lofland’s Cooper Norris.

Why the Finale Feels So Dangerous

Cooper Norris may be staring down serious legal consequences after nearly beating a man to death—even if viewers largely agree the beating was deserved.

Cami Miller may have unknowingly painted a target on her back by firing Tommy, destabilizing the power structure around M-Tex Oil.

Tommy Norris, stripped of his job and identity within the oil operation, now stands at a crossroads that feels eerily final.

That uncertainty alone would be enough to spark speculation—but a recent music reveal has fans even more uneasy.

The Song That Set Off Alarm Bells

Country artist Charles Wesley Godwin announced that his song Needle Fall Down will appear in the Season 2 finale.

That’s exciting news for Godwin—but potentially ominous for Landman.

Taylor Sheridan’s shows are notorious for deliberate, story-driven music placement, and Needle Fall Down is not a casual needle drop. The song centers on resignation, mortality, and a character who senses the end is coming—and, in a haunting way, accepts it. It also appears on Godwin’s 2021 album How the Mighty Fall, a title that only deepens the unease.

Given Sheridan’s track record, it’s hard to believe this choice is accidental.

Is Tommy Norris in Real Danger?

There has already been quiet speculation that Thornton could exit the series at some point, and while there are solid reasons to believe Tommy’s story isn’t finished, the emotional weight of this song suggests a major turning point at minimum—and possibly something irreversible.

Could this mark:

The death of Tommy Norris?

A shocking exit for Cami Miller?

Or the fall of someone “mighty” within the oil empire?

At this stage, nothing feels off-limits.

Expect the Unexpected

With Landman’s Season 2 finale airing January 18 on Paramount+, fans should be prepared for the kind of ending Sheridan is known for—one that reshapes the show’s future and leaves consequences that linger long after the credits roll.

When “Needle Fall Down” starts playing, it likely won’t just underscore a scene—it may signal the end of an era for at least one major character.

Buckle up.
