Michelle Randolph is reminding fans of the modeling prowess that got her signed to Wilhelmina long before she ever appeared on TV. The Landman star dropped a carousel of seasonal snaps on Instagram captioned “for the love of June.” The photos depict a sweet start to Randolph’s summer, including a sunset at the beach, chill poolside evenings, a raucous bar night, time spent with her adorable pets, and some unfortunate casserole spillage.
However, one photo in particular caught the eye of Page Six editors: a stylish porch swing snap in which Randolph shows off a gold bikini, black sunglasses, and her toned physique. “Literally the most perfect person ever,” one fan wrote in the comments section. Another added, “Stop your so queen!” while a third cleverly quipped, “Landwoman.”
On Taylor Sheridan’s hit show, Randolph plays Ainsley Norris, the outspoken daughter of the lead character Tommy Norris, played by Billy Bob Thornton. Her breakout role came as Elizabeth Strafford on 1923, another project within Sheridan’s Paramount+ universe and a prequel to Yellowstone. But before she became recognized for her TV roles, she’d had success as a model, posing in campaigns for Forever 21 and Tobi while signed to major agency Wilhelmina.
That on-camera effortlessness is apparent in several of her Instagram posts—whether she’s on a red carpet, a private jet tarmac, in front of a cityscape, or sitting on a photography studio floor, Randolph’s modeling background shines through.
But for now, Randolph’s star is hitched to Landman—as is Thornton’s. Though the Oscar-winning actor has been a famous figure in the entertainment industry for decades, he previously told USA Today that Landman put him on a different planet, fame-wise. “My shows were popular, but this is entering a different world. This is kind of a phenomenon,” he says. “I’ve been famous for like 35 years or whatever, but it’s gone to another level. I didn’t know there’d be another level for me.”
Thornton also provided one of Landman‘s latest production updates. During an interview on the podcast Howie Mandel Does Stuff, Thornton revealed that Season 3 will start shooting in August. After Season 2’s premiere became Paramount+’s most-watched ever, the streaming service greenlit Season 3 in late 2025. Given that filming has yet to begin, expect the next Landman chapter to begin airing in 2027.
