In a move that’s sending shockwaves through the entertainment world, Netflix has officially greenlit Season 2 of the uproarious sitcom “Leanne,” starring the incomparable comedian Leanne Morgan and masterminded by the legendary producer Chuck Lorre. The announcement, dropped like a bombshell just weeks after the Season 1 finale, promises an even wilder ride when the first episode lights up screens, igniting what could be the most talked-about comeback in sitcom history. Fans are already buzzing: Is this the duo that’s about to dethrone every comedy kingpin? Don’t blink, or you’ll miss the hilarious chaos unfolding!
For those late to the party, “Leanne” burst onto Netflix on July 31, 2025, with all 16 episodes dropping in one glorious binge-fest. The show, co-created by Morgan, Lorre, and writer Susan McMartin, follows the titular Leanne—a sassy Southern grandma whose world flips upside down when her husband of 33 years ditches her for another woman. Armed with her razor-sharp wit, a killer Jell-O salad recipe, and an unbreakable spirit, Leanne navigates menopause, family drama, and unexpected joys with her ride-or-die sister Carol (played by the brilliant Kristen Johnston). The ensemble cast, including Celia Weston as the meddlesome Mama Margaret, Blake Clark, Ryan Stiles, Graham Rogers, and Hannah Pilkes, delivers non-stop laughs that feel like a warm hug from your funniest aunt.
What catapulted “Leanne” to instant stardom? It wasn’t just Morgan’s magnetic charm—though her stand-up roots shine through in every quip—but the perfect blend of heartfelt storytelling and classic multi-camera sitcom magic. Lorre, the genius behind juggernauts like “The Big Bang Theory” and “Two and a Half Men,” infuses the series with his signature timing and heart. Season 1 racked up two weeks in Netflix’s global Top 10 for English-language series, peaking at No. 6 with 2.8 million views worldwide and clocking 1.34 billion minutes watched in the U.S. alone, per Nielsen data. Critics adore it too, with Rotten Tomatoes handing an impressive 71% approval rating, praising its comfy vibe and Morgan’s likability.
The renewal news broke on September 8, 2025, during one of Morgan’s stand-up shows in Dallas, Texas, where she electrified the crowd with the reveal: “We’re coming back for a second season!” Lorre echoed the excitement, thanking Netflix for the “amazing opportunity” and gushing over Morgan as a “comedic genius” and “joy to work with.” Executive producers Nick Bakay and Judi Marmel join the celebration, as the show hails from Chuck Lorre Productions and Warner Bros. Television.
So, what’s next for Leanne’s chaotic life? While plot details for Season 2 remain under wraps, expect more family feuds, romantic mishaps, and those signature Southern one-liners that had viewers howling. As Leanne herself might say, it’s never too late to rewrite your story—with plenty of laughter along the way. This historic pairing of Lorre’s sitcom savvy and Morgan’s fresh hilarity has all the makings of a comedy dynasty. Mark your calendars, comedy lovers: The green light is on, and the laughs are just getting started. Who knows what curveballs Season 2 will throw? One thing’s certain—this is the feel-good frenzy you can’t afford to miss!
