That means while Tommy will spend more time in boardrooms and around big-money suits, his heart’s still out in the field — and that tension may lead to more than a few headaches. “I think you can take Tommy out of the patch to an extent, but not fully,” Wallace adds.
Thornton himself echoed that sentiment after the Season 1 finale: “Tommy is never going to get the landman out of him. I mean, that’s who he is. He does not want to be an executive guy. I don’t think he wants to be in the suit, but I believe he’ll do whatever it takes.”
What Do We Know About Landman Season 2?
Michelle Randolph, who plays Ainsley, recently confirmed in The Hollywood Reporter that she was well into filming Season 2 and feeling right at home, as Ainsley is heading to college, by all accounts, based on filming locations.
“I felt like we just started where we left off. I think I found the character last season and we all are so comfortable together. I’m on my second week of filming, and it’s fun to be back. I’m trying my very, very best to just completely tune it out. It worked, whatever I did, so I’m trying to get in the headspace I was in for the first season. Whatever the audience thinks, that’s not something I should pay attention to. It’s irrelevant to my process with Ainsley.”
