Landman season two has just come to an end on Paramount Plus and the Taylor Sheridan series included plenty of twists for Billy Bob Thornton’s character, Tommy Norris.
As the series, which has already been renewed for a third season, drew to a close, a title card appeared in memory of Judy Ann Prachyl and fans are keen to find out more about her role in the show.
Judy died on December 18, 2025 and she was a self-confessed fan of the Yellowstone series and Sheridan himself.
She was described in the series as the “nursing home OG” and she was from Weatherford, Texas, like Sheridan and his Bosque Ranch.
In an obituary shared online, a special mention is made of Sheridan’s wife Nicole, suggesting she was personally connected to the family.
While she did not have an acting role in Landman, she holds a place in the hearts of Sheridan and his family, as well as the wider Texas community.
The online tribute shared how Judy retired from Weatherford Independent School District where she worked in administration.
She also worked as a volunteer at St Stephen Catholic Church and often took part in church events and services.
Judy was “known for her vibrant personality and beautiful smile” and the obituary said her “spirit will continue to inspire those she leaves behind, and her impact on her community will forever be felt”.
Referencing Sheridan’s wife, it went on to say: “The family would like to give a special heart-filled thanks to Nicole Sheridan, Traci Werne-Morrison and Johnny Holt for the love and care they had for Judy during the last few years.”
The Landman season two finale also highlighted some significant turning points for the characters, with Tommy turning his attention to a solo venture.
For fans of the series, the tribute to Judy offered a look into the personal side of the show’s creative process.
Even though Judy was not involved in the show in any way, the tribute clearly meant a great deal to Sheridan and his team.
The series will return to Paramount Plus with season three in the near future.
