“If you love football, if you love family drama, it’s like Friday Night Lights and Succession all kind of rolled into one,” Mandy told Variety.

Prior to working on the show, Mandy wasn’t a big football fan, and says they all had to do “crash courses” on the sport.

“I still feel like I have so much to learn. I had some fantastic meetings with some incredible women that are in similar roles at different organizations at the NFL. I’ve been able to pick their brains a little bit,” she said. “I joked I felt like Taylor Swift, where I was like, ‘Oh, I got to learn all about this.’ I mean, it’s different when your boyfriend-slash-husband is like a player, but I truly knew nothing.”

As for her character, the actress teased she’s “an absolute b****.”

“I get to play this bada**, a woman in a man’s world who her entire life she’s been gunning for this one job and will do absolutely anything and breathes this air of sort of desperation and entitlement,” Mandy said. “It’s so fun to play someone like so wholly different from who I am.”

In The Land, Mandy will play Lauren, the daughter of NFL team owner Hank Durkin (William H Macy) and his heir apparent.

The series is described as “a sprawling drama” with a “generational family component.”
