Leanne is a 16-episode multi-camera sitcom that premiered globally on Netflix on July 31, 2025. Co-created by Southern comedian Leanne Morgan, TV legend Chuck Lorre (The Big Bang Theory, Mom), and writer Susan McMartin, the series follows the story of a woman starting over later in life with a blend of heartfelt humor and Southern charm. It is produced by Chuck Lorre Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, with all three creators serving as executive producers alongside Nick Bakay and Judi Marmel.
The show centers on Leanne Morgan, a grandmother whose life is turned upside down when her husband of 33 years unexpectedly leaves her for another woman. Left reeling, she must rediscover her identity, navigate menopause, and rebuild her life from the ground up—with the help and interference of her loving but eccentric Southern family. The storyline draws heavily from Morgan’s own life and comedy, delivering laughter with honesty and relatability.
The ensemble cast features Kristen Johnston as Leanne’s fiercely loyal sister Carol, Celia Weston and Blake Clark as their traditional Southern parents Margaret and John, and Ryan Stiles as Leanne’s estranged husband Bill. Leanne’s children, Tyler and Josie, are played by Graham Rogers and Hannah Pilkes, with notable recurring roles from Tim Daly, Jayma Mays, and Annie Gonzalez, adding richness to the family dynamic.
Filmed in front of a live studio audience at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California, the series captures the spirit of classic sitcoms while offering a modern, empowering take on aging, womanhood, and second chances. With its heartfelt storytelling and comedic timing, Leanne is both a personal triumph for its star and a refreshing new voice in the world of television comedy.
