Ali Larter just proved she’s a master of making waves—literally. The 48-year-old dropped jaws when she posted a sizzling bikini snap, teasing her involvement in Taylor Sheridan’s next big project. With Yellowstone nearing its dramatic finale, Sheridan seems ready to serve fans something fresh, and Larter’s stunning photo feels like a clever bait-and-switch.
Fans immediately speculated that this could be a genius move to hype up his latest show, Landman. If Sheridan’s track record’s anything to go by, this series will be packed with grit, drama, and a whole lot of “must-watch” energy.
Ali Larter’s Bikini Reveal Heats Up Buzz for Taylor Sheridan’s Landman
Ali Larter set Instagram ablaze with a red-hot bikini post captioned, “Angela comes in with a splash! And it gets very spicy.” Fans wasted no time flooding the comments, with one declaring, “Omg guess I have a reason to watch Landman now.” Larter’s tease couldn’t have been better timed for Taylor Sheridan’s newest series, Landman, streaming now on Paramount+.
The show stars Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris—a seasoned landman navigating oil-rich West Texas. Larter plays Angela Norris, Tommy’s fiery ex-wife, who keeps him on his toes while adding layers of emotional depth. Fans are already obsessed with Angela’s bold entrance, with one user commenting, “Ali, you’re unbelievably gorgeous on the inside and outside.” Others echoed the same sentiment, quipping, “Can’t wait to watch your new show!”
Sheridan’s writing, as always, brings characters to life with complexity, and Larter embraced the challenge. In an interview, she revealed how she connected with Angela:
I am a very intuitive person, and I’m quick to pivot. So I move very fast through life, and so does [Angela]. So that’s something that I definitely related to. I also feel things very deeply. I’m a very sensitive person, and so Angela is not sensitive, but she’s incredibly emotional. So I was able to kind of tap in that way.
Landman isn’t just a personal drama; it dives headfirst into corporate politics, oil rig disasters, and family strife. Inspired by the podcast Boomtown, it paints a vivid picture of the roughnecks and billionaires reshaping the American energy landscape.
Larter’s sizzling post was the perfect hook for Sheridan’s post-Yellowstone venture. With Landman’s explosive debut, viewers are strapped in for a wild ride. Whether it’s Angela winning at pool tables or Norris dodging a drug cartel, Sheridan has struck oil once again, blending grit, glamour, and unrelenting drama.
For those missing the Yellowstone chaos, Landman promises plenty of spice.
Ali Larter and Billy Bob Thornton: Opposites Collide in Landman
Who knew opposites could spark magic? Ali Larter and Billy Bob Thornton brought the heat in Landman, Paramount+’s dive into West Texas oil rigs, courtesy of Yellowstone mastermind Taylor Sheridan. At the heart of it? Angela and Tommy Norris—divorced, sparring, but weirdly in sync. Larter spilled,
We are so different. Me and Billy in real life, are complete opposites. But when we came together… we both loved the material, and we found the love in these two characters. Because as much as they’re sparring all the time, they love each other for their flaws, and there’s not a lot of judgment.
Larter couldn’t resist Angela’s bold, messy, and totally raw vibe. Inspired by the Boomtown podcast, the series nailed the gritty details with pros keeping it real. “To be able to get a real eye into this world is very special,” she said—and it showed.
Watch Landman on Paramount+ and Apple TV.
