Fort Worth, Texas – On Saturday night the TCU Horned Frogs took the field at Amon G. Carter Stadium against the Kansas State Wildcats and emerged with a 20‑10 win. The game featured an unusual sideline crowd: several cast members from the Paramount+ drama Landman were in attendance, adding a touch of Hollywood to the college‑football atmosphere.
Cast members spotted on the sidelines
Actress Michelle Randolph, who portrays the popular cheerleader Ainsley Norris on the show, was seen cheering from the sidelines. Her on‑screen mother, Angela Norris, played by Ali Larter, also joined the crowd. Both actresses were part of a storyline in season three that follows Ainsley’s enrollment at TCU and her involvement with the university’s cheer squad.
Other members of the Landman crew were present as well. Stefania Spampinato, known for her role as Bella Morrell, filmed a scene alongside Larter during the game. Actor Glen Powell, who is dating Michelle Randolph, was also on the sideline, offering additional support for the team.
Production details
According to reports, the series was filming on the TCU campus earlier this month. Production officials expected roughly 30 TCU cheerleaders to appear in some capacity during the shoot. The decision to film a scene during an actual football game provided authentic crowd noise and energy for the upcoming season.
While the exact premiere date for season three has not been announced, Paramount+ has indicated that the new episodes are likely to roll out in the middle of 2027.
Community response
Local fans expressed excitement at seeing familiar faces from a nationally‑distributed series at a home game. Many noted that the presence of the cast added a festive vibe without distracting from the on‑field action. The Horned Frogs’ solid performance – a 20‑10 margin – left no doubt that the team could handle the extra spotlight.
TCU officials confirmed that the collaboration with the show was coordinated through the university’s communications office and that all filming complied with campus policies. No disruptions to the game schedule were reported.
What’s next for “Landman”?
Season three will continue to follow Ainsley Norris as she balances college life, cheerleading duties, and the drama that surrounds the fictional town of Landman. The series, which blends Western‑style storytelling with modern family dynamics, has built a dedicated fan base on Paramount+ and is expected to draw additional viewers from the Fort Worth area now that local landmarks are featured on screen.
For TCU supporters, the game served as a reminder of the university’s growing cultural relevance, both on the field and in popular media. As the Horned Frogs look ahead to the rest of the season, the partnership with Landman may open doors for future collaborations that highlight Fort Worth’s vibrant community.
