Bless Netflix’s heart: they’re giving Leanne Morgan and Chuck Lorre’s hit sitcom, Leanne, a full second season! On Monday, the streaming giant officially announced that the show — starring and executive produced by the stand-up comedian and Two and a Half Men creator — will return for another round, likely delivering 16 more half-hour episodes following the massive success of Season 1.

“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,” Leanne Morgan shared in an interview with Netflix’s Tudum. “Y’all did this for us and we can’t wait to be back!” Her excitement and gratitude echoed through the interview, reflecting the joy of a cast and crew eager to continue telling their story.

Chuck Lorre also expressed his heartfelt appreciation: “Much thanks and gratitude to Netflix for this amazing opportunity. Congrats to Leanne and the entire cast and crew. This has been an incredible journey that began with a visit to Knoxville, Tennessee. Leanne Morgan is the whole package — a comedic genius, a warm, loving human being, and an absolute joy to work with.” His praise highlighted not just Leanne’s talent, but the collaborative spirit that has made the series resonate so strongly with audiences.

The series follows a fictionalized version of Leanne’s life, chronicling her journey as she navigates the breakup of her 33-year marriage with the loving support of her sister, played by Kristen Johnston. Season 1 also featured a standout ensemble including Ryan Stiles, Celia Weston, Tim Daly, Blake Clark, Hannah Pilkes, Graham Rogers, and Jayma Mays — each bringing depth, humor, and heart to the story.

Even before Netflix greenlit the second season, the cast and crew had been crossing their fingers, hoping for the opportunity to continue exploring the complicated and beautiful life of a woman starting over. Co-creator Susan McMartin told DECIDER back in July, “Oh my God, I hope we are, because there are so many stories to tell. More than anything, we all found love.” Her words hinted at the rich emotional layers and untold moments the show is poised to explore in Season 2.

Meanwhile, Chuck Lorre teased potential future collaborations, recalling his fondness for working with Michael Douglas on The Kominsky Method: “I truly did love working with Michael Douglas, that was a joy. So anyway he could walk through anything that I’m doing would be a joy to do again.” Lorre’s comments suggest that the creative team is not only looking forward to deepening Leanne’s story but may also bring new, exciting faces into the Netflix comedy universe.

With Season 2 confirmed, fans of Leanne can expect more laughs, heartfelt moments, and fresh insights into the life of a woman redefining herself, proving that even after heartbreak, the journey can be rich, funny, and full of unexpected joy.
