Get ready for another “relatable and hilarious” season of LEANNE.
“To see how Leanne navigates this new chapter of her life — handling a divorce, caring for aging parents, dating at 60 and trying to make sense of it all, the way we all do,” comedian Leanne Morgan, who co-created and stars in the sitcom, told PEOPLE. “I hope people find it both relatable and hilarious.”
LEANNE, which premiered last year on Netflix, follows Morgan’s character after her “world is turned upside down when her husband of 33 years unexpectedly leaves her for another woman,” per a synopsis.
“Supported by her family, including her ride-or-die sister Carol (Kristen Johnston), Leanne learns to embrace the chaos and finds strength, laughter and hope in the most unexpected places,” the synopsis continues.
In a newly-released trailer for Season 2, Leanne deals with a milestone birthday, moving her parents into her home and continuing to try out the world of modern dating following the breakdown of her marriage.

“This season opens with my elderly parents, Celia Weston [Mama Margaret] and Blake Clark [Daddy John], moving into my house — a significant adjustment for everyone involved. It takes all of us to care for them properly,” Morgan told PEOPLE. “No one wants to give up their independence, but they need help.”
She said it’s a topic she relates to “deeply” — “[My parents are] still in their home, but they need more assistance with each passing year. There’s real tension that comes with everyone living under one roof, but you have to find the humor in it to get through.”
Co-star Johnston spoke to the outlet about getting to work with Morgan on this second season, sharing, “From day one everything I get to do with Leanne has been so effortless and meaningful. She’s just so fun to act with and man does she deliver.”
In a 2025 interview with PEOPLE, Morgan reflected on how incredible it has been to create a sitcom inspired by her own life.
“I’m a mama from Knoxville, Tennessee, and this happening for me, it’s a miracle and a blessing,” she said. “And honey, I still don’t believe it.”
Morgan continued, “When [co-creator Chuck Lorre] came to my house in Knoxville to learn more about me and my family for inspiration for the show, I had to pinch myself. To make my very first television series with a titan of the industry taught me something new every day, and I’m so honored to work with him.”
LEANNE Season 2 premieres on Netflix Aug. 27.
