Ainsley and Angela appear to visit a college in Taylor Sheridan’s Landman season 2 set video. Michelle Randolph’s free-spirited, sexually provocative character caused nothing but headaches for Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy in Landman season 1, but Ainsley’s arc soon carried her away from being an immature trouble-maker, and toward being a thoughtful, responsible adult, with a little nudging from her mom Angela (Ali Larter). The currently-filming Landman season 2 may seek to continue Ainsley’s growth, though nothing is ever for certain when prolific TV creator Sheridan is at the controls.
Though much is still under wraps about Landman season 2, an apparent leak has revealed that Ainsley means to further her education, as stars Randolph and Larter are seen in new set video shooting on the campus of TCU in Forth Worth, Texas.
The brief clip shows the two actors doing an outdoor scene on the campus, where they appear to be looking around the place. Ainsley is attired in a short white dress and holds what looks like a large beverage cup, while Angela sports a colorful print top, flared jeans and a gold designer bag, while looking at a piece of paper, as if trying to find her way somewhere.
In the first bit of the clip, Ainsley walks ahead of Angela, as other students mill about. In the second part, the two appear to talk about something as they pause near a tree. Glimpses of crew and equipment can also seen in the clip, including a huge white sheet possibly used for light diffusion, and a cameraman aiming his camera at the two stars.

What This Means For Landman Season 2
Ainsley’s Future Seems To Be On-Course
Officially renewed for season 2 in March, Landman is now filming in Texas, the above clip seeming to confirm TCU as one of the locations. The clip also would seem to confirm that Ainsley will continue being a big part of the story after season 1’s controversy over the character’s over-sexed behavior and objectified appearance, a controversy that was somewhat quieted by Ainsley’s maturation over the course of the season.
A Sheridan regular, Randolph also plays Elizabeth on the Yellowstone prequel 1923
Also seemingly confirmed by the set video is Angela’s ongoing effort to be a good influence on her daughter. Landman season 1 saw Angela and Tommy trying to rekindle their domestic happiness, but finding each other falling immediately into old patterns, with an immature, wild Ainsley further stoking the drama. Ainsley talked of following her quarterback boyfriend to college in season 1, but having moved on from that relationship, she’s free to choose her own path, with guidance (hopefully) from Angela and Tommy.

College Could Provide A Whole New Set Of Challenges
While it’s encouraging to think that Ainsley is taking her future seriously after initially being almost infuriatingly frivolous, it’s also fair to wonder if college won’t just provide her with more opportunity than ever to get in trouble. Given that Landman is a Sheridan show, it’s likely trouble will find Ainsley, if she doesn’t find it first. The above set video seems to tease that things are going well for Angela and her daughter, at least at first, but dramatic complications are bound to ensue, leaving Tommy exasperated as usual.
