\"And now to see the fans, the people watch the show and really love these characters and love the story that's unfolding is very exciting, because you never know when you're making something if it's gonna connect with an audience and this show obviously has,\" she added.

Larter portrays Angela Norris in the hit new neo-Western series about a \"modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs,\" according to a synopsis for the series.

The new show is set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas and is based on the 11-part podcast called \"Boomtown,\" which uncovered the West Texas world of oil rigging.

Larter's character is the ex-wife of Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) in the series.

The actress, who said had been a fan of Sheridan's work since \"Wind River\" and \"Sicario,\" praised the filmmaker for his storytelling.

\"I just think he's an incredible storyteller and he loves to write these dynamic women and that's very very fun to play,\" said the actress, who added that preparation for the role of Angela included dialect work and work with her acting coach.
