‘Leanne' Season 1 release date: When it premieres on OTT, cast, and where to watch
Netflix is gearing up to launch Leanne, a fresh sitcom led by stand-up comedian Leanne Morgan, set to premiere on July 31. Co-created by Morgan, Chuck Lorre (The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men), and Susan McMartin (Mom), the series dives deep into starting over—gracefully or not—after heartbreak in your 50s. Leanne follows the titular character (played by Morgan) as her life is upended when her husband of 33 years suddenly leaves her for another woman.

The story blends relatable family drama with humor rooted in real-life struggles like divorce, dating in midlife, menopause, and second chances. With sharp wit and emotional honesty, the show taps into themes Morgan has explored in her stand-up: the messiness of midlife, the awkwardness of dating post-divorce, and the power of family support. Leanne Morgan as Leanne, a resilient mom and grandmother navigating heartbreak. Kristen Johnston as Carol, Leanne's wild, ride-or-die sister and polar opposite. Celia Weston as Mama Margaret, the family's upbeat matriarch. Blake Clark as Daddy John, Leanne's traditional but loving father. Ryan Stiles as Bill, Leanne's estranged husband who's abandoned family life. Graham Rogers as Tyler, Leanne's son juggling fatherhood and family drama. Hannah Pilkes as Josie, Leanne's rebellious daughter. Leanne is produced by Chuck Lorre Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.
