Leanne Morgan Netflix Sitcom From EP Chuck Lorre Will Drop All 16 Episodes in July — See First Photos
Chuck Lorre's latest multi-cam is bypassing broadcast television and going straight to streaming: Netflix on Wednesday announced that Leanne will premiere Thursday, July 31 — and all 16 (!) episodes will drop at once. The half-hour comedy, which Lorre co-created with Susan McMartin (Mom, Two and a Half Men) and stand-up comedian Leanne Morgan, casts Morgan as… well, Leanne! In the show, 'Leanne's life takes an unexpected turn when Bill, her husband of 33 years (played by Two and a Half Men's Ryan Stiles) leaves her for another woman,' according to the official logline. 'Starting over when you're a grandmother and in menopause isn't exactly what she had in mind, but with the help of her family' — including Mom's Kristen Johnston, who plays Leanne's sister Carol — 'she will navigate this new chapter with grace, dignity and jello salad.'

HBO's Cuts: 'Bookie,' 'The Franchise,' and More Cancelled
HBO is shaking up its lineup in a big way, confirming the cancellation of three series as it preps for the 2025-2026 TV season. Among the casualties? The popular comedy-drama The Sex Lives of College Girls, along with Bookie and The Franchise. The first to fall was The Franchise, a satirical comedy from Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes. Despite the prestige behind the project, and Mendes's growing buzz as he heads into production on his four-part Beatles biopic, the series couldn't pull in big enough numbers. HBO pulled the plug after just one season, thanking Mendes and the ensemble cast in a parting statement but making it clear there'd be no second chance. Next up was Bookie, a two-season comedy starring stand-up heavyweight Sebastian Maniscalco. The series followed the chaotic life of a Los Angeles bookie trying to keep his business afloat in the shifting sands of legalized sports betting. While it found a loyal niche audience, it didn't survive HBO's latest round of biggest surprise for many fans? The end of The Sex Lives of College Girls. The dramedy, co-created by The Office alum Mindy Kaling, had built a strong following over its three-season run. Starring Reneé Rapp, Pauline Chalamet, Amrit Kaur, and Alyah Chanelle Scott, the show explored college life, friendship, and messy relationships. Speculation about its future had swirled since Rapp exited in 2023, and now it's official: HBO won't be moving forward with a fourth season. There are rumors producers are shopping it to Netflix, but so far, no takers. Meanwhile, The Righteous Gemstones will wrap things up after its fourth season, while The White Lotus, The Last of Us, and And Just Like That are all set to return with new seasons—proving there's still plenty to look forward to on Max.
