This scene in Landman was the most 'painful" scene for Ali Larter to shoot this season, details revealed

Ali Larter is opening up on what scene was the most painful to shoot on Landman, and it has everything to do with her co-star Michelle Randolph's character Ainsley Norris. Speaking to People Magazine, Larter revealed that episode 9 of Landman's sophomore season pushed her the hardest.

In the episode, her character Angela watches her daughter Ainsley leave for college, a moment that triggers an overwhelming sense of loss and ends with Angela sitting alone in her car, breaking down in tears, and Larter says filming it was genuinely painful. Speaking to the outlet she said,

"Episode 9 was a really painful episode for me to shoot. I think it was one of the toughest scenes. Angela feels like it's a loss in her life, with her daughter leaving. I have a lot of friends that are empty-nesters, and I have seen those ugly sobs. I think that Angela doesn't really feel like she has a purpose without her daughter. What is her life going to look like, with her growing up?"

That's not the only difficult scene to shoot on the show. Larter went on to talk about how bikini scenes were another nightmare, talking about how she had to spend a lot of time fighting her insecurities and anxieties to be able to pull it off. Adding on to that she continued,

"I don't think there's an actress alive that's like, 'Woo! Got a bikini scene!' Nobody wants to do it. Those are the hardest for me. I don't enjoy them. It's just part of the story that I'm telling, and I'm an actress, so I get on board. But those are definitely my least favorite."

What happened in Landman Season 2

The second season of Landman seesCami Miller step into leadership early and her ruthless confidence masks a company drowning in debt, tangled contracts, and increasingly shady alliances. As financial pressure mounts, cartel-linked investor Danny Gallino becomes impossible to ignore, dragging M-Tex closer to moral and legal collapse.

Tommy spends the season trapped, and eventually gets fired in the ninth season, which reshapes his character completely and marks a change in his fate.

Between all this chaos, the show ends on a positive and hopeful note as Tommy opens his own company, and appoints Cooper as his president. It's a major narrative arc, one that will most likely shape the third season's plot.
