I’m quite literally distraught that this weekend marks the end of Landman season 2. While Cami (Demi Moore) has come through with more vigor than I ever expected and Tommy (Billy Bob Thornton) has scraped through by the skin of his teeth, it’s Angela (Ali Larter) who I’ve completely fallen in love with throughout the series.
Now that she and Tommy are officially back together, Angela seems to have become more chaotic than ever. The moment she got a group of pensioners drunk at their retirement home exercise class and then got arrested for threatening the manager, I knew she was the fictional woman for me.
Thankfully, Landman season 3 has already been confirmed, though 2027 is likely the earliest that we’d see any new episodes. Fear not, though. If Paramount+ has a Landman-shaped hole in their scheduling, I’ve got them covered with the perfect Angela spinoff that even Larter herself is “game” for.
Paramount+ needs to give us The Real Housewives of Fort Worth and let Angela be even more diabolical
Here’s my idea: Paramount develops a fictitious version of the Real Housewives franchise that has Angela at the center. The series would introduce a bunch of other local housewives, though we won’t care too much about, so that Angela can verbally (and perhaps physically, in all honesty) clobber them.
“Amazing, that would be so much fun,” Larter tells me. “I’m game.”
You only need to watch the above YouTube video to understand why she’d be perfect for reality TV. Often speaking before she thinks, Angela truly doesn’t care what anybody else believes about her, or what consequences could come her way as a result. Half of the time, I’m not even sure she’s bothered about Tommy.
But amid the chaos, Angela inadvertently produces genuine wisdom within her rants. Daughter Ainsley (Michelle Randolph) is the one who often benefits from this, but does Angela actually realize how wise she can be?
“I think she’s just unapologetically herself,” Larter weighs in. “One of the things I love about playing her is that she really doesn’t care about the judgment of others, she lives life by her own rules. That is exciting for me to get to play. She’s so alive in her body.
“It’s easy in life to just want to go inside yourself, and she doesn’t have that filter. Even when she goes with the old folks – and I have so many amazing scenes with Michelle there, she thinks it’s ridiculous – why should they just be softly going into the darkness? Give them a margarita. Let them enjoy their lives. Let them get after it a little bit. You know, sometimes I think she’s got the right point of view.”
Me too girl, me too. Paramount, please make my spinoff dreams come true ASAP.
