Leanne Morgan's comedy series Leanne is returning for a second season on Netflix this summer, with a Yellowstone star among the new cast. The show, produced by Chuck Lorre, will premiere on August 27, 2026, with all 10 episodes released simultaneously.
Return Date and Episode Count
The second season of Leanne debuts on Netflix on August 27, 2026, consisting of 10 episodes. Unlike the first season's 16-episode run, this season is more compact but still draws inspiration from Morgan's stand-up comedy material. All episodes will be available at once for binge-watching.
Chuck Lorre, the producer behind The Big Bang Theory, praised the series: "Congrats to Leanne and the entire cast and crew. This has been an incredible journey that began with a visit to Knoxville, Tennessee. Leanne Morgan is the whole package. A comedic genius, a warm, loving human being, and an absolute joy to work with."
