'Leanne' Season 2 arrives on Netflix as Morgan credits LA writers' room with getting the South right

Season 2 of Leanne Morgan's Netflix sitcom 'Leanne' launched 27 August 2026. Morgan, an executive producer, told Deadline she feared her LA writers would "stereotype the South and church people." She now says they did "a good job," drafting episodes she rewrites for Southern specificity — "We use Dukes Mayonnaise, not Miracle Whip." The show stars Morgan, Kristen Johnston and Celia Weston.
