Leanne OTT Release Date: Leanne Morgan, the Southern comedian who stole hearts with her relatable wit and 'mama knows best' charm in her Netflix stand-up I'm Every Woman, is now leading her very own sitcom, Leanne. And yes, it's as Southern, sassy, and sweet as a pecan pie with a punch. Leanne premieres July 31 on Netflix. All 16 episodes of this new comedy series will be available to stream from day one. Here's everything you need to know before it drops.
What is Leanne about?
At the heart of the show is Leanne, played by Morgan herself, a Southern grandmother whose life takes a sharp left turn when her husband of 33 years walks out on her for another woman. Sounds painful, right? But Leanne turns it into comedy gold. Think less sobbing, more laughter through tears, with a lot of casseroles and unsolicited family advice in between.
The character of Leanne leans on her chaotic but loving family as she tries to figure out what's next. Retirement? Dating? Starting over? And she's doing it all with the sass and strength of a woman who's raised kids, made Jell-O salad for every church potluck, and isn't about to let life get the last laugh.
Who's in the cast?
The cast lineup is as solid as Grandma's meatloaf.
Leanne Morgan as Leanne – our leading lady, navigating life post-divorce with humour and heart.
Kristen Johnston (Mom, 3rd Rock from the Sun) as Carol, Leanne's loud and wild sister who's more dive bar than Bible study and her fiercest supporter.
Graham Rogers (Ray Donovan, The Kominsky Method) as Tyler, Leanne's golden-boy son, juggling fatherhood, a dominant wife, and his mom's drama.
Hannah Pilkes as Josie, Leanne's unpredictable daughter who's forever the rebellious middle finger to her brother's golden halo.
Ryan Stiles (Whose Line Is It Anyway?) as Bill, Leanne's ex-husband, who traded RV sales and family life for… well, a midlife crisis.
Celia Weston as Mama Margaret, the church-going matriarch who somehow always has a casserole and a scripture ready.
Blake Clark as Daddy John, the old-school, straight-talking patriarch who may be outdated but means well.
Who's behind the scenes?
Leanne is co-created by Chuck Lorre (The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, The Kominsky Method) and Susan McMartin (Mom), who know a thing or two about heartfelt family sitcoms with bite. Morgan also serves as co-creator and executive producer, making sure her voice rings true in every scene. The show is produced by Chuck Lorre Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. And if that doesn't scream 'quality sitcom,' nothing does.
