The series from creator Taylor Sheridan, which stars Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris, showed additional growth in the Nielsen ratings its seventh week spanning December 30, thru January 5, , according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Ahead of its ninth episode, Landman garnered 1. The show was third-best of the week, following Netflix 's Squid Game , which garnered 4. Squid Game had a reduced audience by less than seven percent after it debuted with 4. The Taylor Sheridan drama was dubbed in a logline as 'a modern-day tale of fortune seeking in the world of West Texas oil rigs'.
A pair of other shows topped 1 million minutes viewed for the week: Netflix's Virgin River with 1. The week also marked the debut of the Apple series Silo, with million viewers. According to the outlet, the streaming ratings from Nielsen focus on U. Just days after Landman's explosive season finale aired earlier this month, Hamm opened up on his character's fate. The main character Tommy Norris - played by Thornton - was the 'landman' - essentially Monty's right-hand man.
Monty's health was failing towards the end of the season, as it was revealed he had five heart attacks and underwent his third bypass surgery. While Monty recovered from the bypass surgery, one of the season's final shots showed him seemingly flat-lining, surrounded by his wife Demi Moore and daughters. It was never fully revealed that Monty had died in the finale, though Hamm confirmed in a wide-ranging interview with The Hollywood Reporter , while also praising his co-stars.
The fate of his character Monty isn't entirely surprising, from a logistical standpoint, since Hamm already has a lot on his plate. Jon Hamm, pictured in LA last year, opened up on his character's fate earlier this month. Hamm also said his final scenes in the hospital were, 'not fun,' though he added it was 'outstanding' being there with Moore and Thornton.
