Netflix’s heartwarming sitcom Leanne, created by Chuck Lorre, Susan McMartin, and star Leanne Morgan, has fans eagerly awaiting news of a second season following its July 31, 2025, premiere. The 16-episode first season, centered on Leanne’s journey after her husband’s infidelity, resonated with audiences through its blend of humor and heartfelt storytelling. With Lorre and Morgan breaking their silence, hopes are high for more adventures in Knoxville, Tennessee. Here’s everything we know about the show’s future.
In a recent TV Insider interview, Leanne Morgan expressed enthusiasm for continuing her character’s story, saying, “I hope it goes a second season.” She envisions Leanne exploring new horizons, whether in romance or a career, after decades of prioritizing family. “I want people to see what she’s gonna do,” Morgan added, hinting at untapped potential for her character’s growth. Co-star Kristen Johnston, who plays Leanne’s sister Carol, echoed this optimism, noting, “It’s definitely set up to hopefully continue,” with “big payoffs” teased for a potential Season 2.
Chuck Lorre, the sitcom maestro behind The Big Bang Theory, remains cautious but hopeful. He told TV Insider that planning too far ahead “robs you of learning” from the actors’ performances, suggesting a flexible approach to a second season. Executive producer Nick Bakay added that Season 1’s narrative sets up multiple directions, with unused ideas ready for exploration. The show’s 75% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 16 reviews, bolsters its case for renewal, per Wikipedia.
Fans are particularly excited about potential crossovers, with Morgan and Johnston naming Mom star Allison Janney as their dream guest, connecting Leanne to Lorre’s TV universe. The first season’s cliffhangers, including Leanne’s budding romance with FBI agent Andrew (Tim Daly) and her finalized divorce from Bill (Ryan Stiles), leave ample room for new stories. Social media, especially X, is abuzz with support, with fans posting, “Leanne’s strength is so inspiring—give us Season 2!”
However, Netflix has yet to confirm a renewal, and Lorre’s reluctance to over-plan could delay decisions. The show’s strong viewership and critical reception, coupled with its relatable themes of resilience and reinvention, make a compelling case. As Morgan told Netflix Tudum, “It’s powerful for women to realize they’re stronger than they ever knew.” Will Leanne’s journey continue? Fans are clinging to every hint, eagerly awaiting Netflix’s verdict.
