For sitcom fans, Leanne Morgan's upcoming Netflix sitcom inspires the felling of "we're so back" that we haven't felt in some time. While comedy series are alive and well on the small screen in various ways, it's taken some time to get the multi-cam sitcom back into fashion. Not only is that what we have from the comedian, but we also have a sitcom titled after the star. See! We're so back!

Leanne follows in the footsteps of a lot of great and nostalgic eponymous sitcoms like Reba, Roseanne, George Lopez, and so many others by getting right down to the reason we're all tuning in: The leading star! The newly released official trailer for Leanne more than proves that Morgan's comedy perfectly translates from her stage stand-up to a laugh-inducing 30-minute series.

Leanne on Netflix trailer previews new family comedy

The trailer released on July 1 introduces the premise...

Sitcom mastermind Chuck Lorre is back at it with Leanne. Lorre, known for co-creating Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory, developed Leanne with Susan McMartin (Mom) and funnywoman Leanne Morgan. It is heavily based on the comedy of Leanne Morgan, the comedian whose stand-up special, I'm Every Woman, was a big hit on the Netflix streaming charts.

Leanne will premiere on Netflix on July 31, and now the show has gotten its first official trailer. It reveals the first footage of the new series, which will have 16 episodes in total for its freshman season. It's a sitcom that picks up on a down note, starting after Leanne's husband of 33 years leaves her for another woman. However, fans should also still expect for there to be plenty of laughs, as Morgan's character uses humor to cope with her emotions. Check out the new trailer below.

Taylor Kitsch and Chris Pratt return to the world of espionage in Prime Video’s teaser trailer for prequel series “The Terminal List: Dark Wolf.”

The first three episodes will premiere Aug. 27, with the rest of the episodes releasing weekly. The series takes place before “The Terminal List” and dives into the backstory of Ben Edwards (Kitsch) and his time in the Navy Seals and CIA Special Operations. Pratt, an executive producer on the series, also returns as James Reece.

“Digging into Ben’s origin with ‘Dark Wolf’ was a blast. This season goes even deeper—there’s more grit, more heart, and a lot more on the line. It’s raw, it’s honest, and it really lets you see the heart of who he is. I have so much respect for the military and Seal community and loved showing their brotherhood, the things you fight to hold onto,...

Leanne Morgan is bringing laughs to Netflix once again.

The comedian stars in the new trailer for “Leanne,” a comedy series about a woman navigating the fallout of a 33-year marriage. Morgan co-created the series alongside producer/screenwriter Susan McMartin and famed sitcom producer Chuck Lorre for a July 31 release.

The trailer shows Leanne discovering that her longtime husband, played by “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” comic Ryan Stiles, has cheated on her with a presumably younger woman.

“Supported by her family, including her ride-or-die sister Carol (Kristen Johnston), Leanne learns to embrace the chaos and finds strength, laughter and hope in the most unexpected places,” Netflix’s story description reads. “This heartfelt comedy proves that it’s never too late to rewrite your story.”

Chuck Lorre’s latest multi-cam is bypassing broadcast television and going straight to streaming: Netflix’s Leanne will premiere Thursday, July 31 — and all 16 (!) episodes will drop at once.

The half-hour comedy, which Lorre co-created with Susan McMartin (Mom, Two and a Half Men) and stand-up comedian Leanne Morgan, casts Morgan as… well, Leanne!

Netflix just made a big decision on the release of Chuck Lorre’s new sitcom, that’s much needed for the series!

In the world of TV sitcoms, Chuck Lorre is one of the biggest names around. His record speaks for itself: Roseanne, Cybil, Dharma & Greg, Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory, Mike & Molly, Mom, Young Sheldon, and more. The man is a master of crafting fun comedies for viewers to watch, most of them on CBS.

Lorre has moved a bit toward Netflix in the last few years, creating the acclaimed The Kominsky Method and the underrated Disjointed. So, the word he was crafting a new comedy for the streamer got attention.

What was notable about Leanne was that Netflix gave the series a whopping 16-episode first season order. That’s a rare move for the streamer to show how confident they were in Lorre’s work.

Netflix unveils first-look images and the premiere date for a new comedy series co-created by Chuck Lorre. Best known as the co-creator of The Big Bang Theory, Lorre is an award-winning television producer and writer, responsible for creating a number of hit TV shows, including Roseanne, Two and A Half Man, and Mom.

With the Sheldon prequel coming to an end after the death of George Sr. (Lance Barber), Lorre then helped bring another franchise prequel, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage, to life. Lorre also worked with Nick Bakay to co-create the Prime Video series titled The Bookie, starring Sebastian Maniscalco, Omar J. Dorsey, and Jorge Garcia.

Netflix has shared a first look at Leanne, a new comedy series starring Leanne Morgan and co-created by Susan McMartin, Chuck Lorre, and Morgan. All 16 episodes of the series will premiere globally on Netflix on July 31.

In the series, Leanne’s life takes an unexpected turn when her husband of 33 years leaves her for another woman. Starting over when you’re a grandmother and in menopause isn’t exactly what she had in mind, but with the help of her family, she will navigate this new chapter with grace, dignity, and jello salad.

For Morgan, the series is a childhood dream realized. “I can’t believe it has come true!” the comedian said. “When I started comedy 25 years ago, my goal was to be a part of a sitcom. It just goes to show you it’s never too late, and dreams do come true. I’m a grandmama from Tennessee,...

Netflix is coming in hot with its latest original sitcom, as the streamer has unveiled the first batch of images for its upcoming series, Leanne. With a logline that will remind audiences of iconic shows of yesteryear such as Reba and Roseanne, the project follows its titular character, (played by comedian Leanne Morgan), after she’s forced to start life over again thanks to her husband of 33 years leaving her for another woman. The fresh start is certainly a rude awakening for the grandmother who’s well into menopause, but after she shakes off the blues and grabs life by the horns, she finds that she’s going to be more than okay — especially with the safety net of loved ones helping her out along the way.

Leanne’s (Morgan) life might be difficult, but you wouldn’t know it by the lineup of premiere images. In them, we see...
