Comedian Leanne Morgan has set the internet ablaze with a surprise livestream on August 10, 2025, teasing a “wild” second season of her Netflix sitcom LEANNE. Following the show’s successful debut on July 31, 2025, Morgan hinted at a mix of heartbreak, Hollywood glamour, and deeply personal stories that could cement her as “the Dolly Parton of Netflix,” as fans on X have dubbed her. With A-list guest stars and raw, untold secrets from her past, LEANNE Season 2 promises to elevate the comedy to new emotional heights.
The first season, co-created by Morgan, Chuck Lorre, and Susan McMartin, followed Leanne, a grandmother navigating life after her husband of 33 years (Ryan Stiles) left her for another woman. The 16-episode run, praised for its heart and humor, ended with Leanne finding love with FBI agent Andrew (Tim Daly) and embracing her resilience. In the livestream, Morgan teased that Season 2 will dive deeper into her character’s emotional journey. “There’s heartbreak coming, y’all, but also hope,” she said, hinting at “twists that’ll make you cry and laugh in the same breath.” Fans on X speculated about potential storylines, with posts like, “Is Leanne’s new romance doomed?” and “More Jell-O salad drama, please!”
Morgan also revealed that Season 2 will feature A-list guest stars, fueling buzz about Hollywood heavyweights joining the cast. While she remained tight-lipped on names, she told TV Insider, “We’re dreaming big—think Mom and Big Bang vibes,” sparking rumors of cameos from Allison Janney or Jim Parsons. The promise of “untold stories” from Morgan’s own life adds intrigue, as she hinted at weaving personal experiences—like her Tennessee roots and family struggles—into the narrative. “I’m sharing things I’ve never told before,” she said, suggesting a rawer, more vulnerable season.
The show’s renewal remains unconfirmed by Netflix, but Morgan and co-star Kristen Johnston are optimistic. “It’s set up to keep going,” Johnston told TV Insider, while Morgan quipped to Glamour about wanting to “make out more” with her on-screen love interest. Fans are clamoring for more, with X posts declaring, “Leanne’s Southern charm is Netflix’s secret weapon!” The series’ blend of quirky comedy and universal themes has resonated, earning comparisons to Dolly Parton’s heartfelt storytelling.
As anticipation builds, LEANNE Season 2 could redefine Morgan’s legacy, blending humor with Hollywood flair and personal revelations. Whether it’s heartbreak or star-studded surprises, this Tennessee grandma is ready to steal the spotlight again.
