Netflix sets Leanne Season 2 premiere Aug 27 with stars

The second season of the Netflix comedy series "Leanne" will premiere on August 27, 2026, the streamer announced this week. The show, which debuted its 16-episode first season on July 31, 2025, has also added several notable guest stars for its upcoming installment.

Emmy award-winning actress Tyne Daly, best known for dramatic roles in series like "Cagney & Lacey" and "Judging Amy," will join the cast in a recurring role. Her casting is of particular interest as her brother, actor Tim Daly, plays the romantic lead, Andrew, on the series. It is not yet known if their characters will interact. Additional guest stars announced include country music singer and actress Lainey Wilson, Jaime Pressly, and Billy Gardell.

The series was co-created by comedy veteran Chuck Lorre, Susan McMartin, and star Leanne Morgan. It follows the titular character, a middle-aged grandmother whose life is upended when her husband of 33 years leaves her for a younger woman. Forced to start over, Leanne navigates her divorce, single life, and family dynamics with Southern humor, supported by her traditional parents and twice-divorced sister, Carol, played by Kristen Johnston.
