BREAKING: Netflix has just announced the renewal of Leanne Morgan’s hit sitcom, Leanne, for a highly anticipated Season 2. This exciting news comes on the heels of the show’s massive success, with plans for 16 new half-hour episodes expected to premiere soon.
In an exclusive statement to Netflix’s Tudum, Morgan expressed her gratitude, stating, “We’re coming back for a second season! I am so grateful to all the writers, producers, Netflix, WB, our amazing cast, and especially for all the fans of the show. Y’all did this for us, and we can’t wait to be back!”
Co-creator Chuck Lorre, renowned for his work on Two and a Half Men, echoed her sentiments, saying, “Much thanks and gratitude to Netflix for this amazing opportunity. Congrats to Leanne and the entire cast and crew.” Lorre also highlighted the journey that began with a visit to Knoxville, Tennessee, praising Morgan as a “comedic genius” and a joy to work with.
