Description:
Its about time Netflix had its own traditional sitcom, and Leanne Morgan has picked up the mantle. If youre a fan of Young Sheldon and Big Bang Theory,
you cant miss it.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Comedian Leanne Morgans self-titled sitcom has dropped on Netflix as of July 31, 2025, telling the fictionalized story of when her husband has an affair with a younger woman. Its the sort of structure we saw on the sitcom Reba about 20 years ago, but this time, divorce is an empowering thing. Finding
the humor in life and those around her, Leanne is determined to rebuild her life from the ground up.

Frankly, Im already sold on the new series Leanne, despite only having this much information to go on. A female lead over the age of 50, real-life drama without the sensationalism and genuinely brilliant jokes is more than enough on its own, but theres layers to the new Netflix comedy . Morgan has been in the comedy game for over 25 years, but theres a good chance many subscribers have never even heard of her. She oozes charm and in her own words dazzle (you might have seen her on the most recent episode of Amy Poehlers Good Hang podcast ), and her Southern drawl is an absolute wonder she could say
anything in the phone book and youd be hooked on it.

Clearly Morgans time in the global spotlight is long overdue, but Im just as interested in her series co-creator. Thats none other than Chuck Lorre, part of the brains behind the growing Sheldon-verse that includes The Big Bang Theory (TBBT), Young Sheldon and Georgie and Mandys First Marriage . Hes also now got Stuart Fails to Save the Universe on the go, but before that gets legs, fans of the franchise need to see Leanne for one very, very good
reason. Netflixs new comedy Leanne is exactly the type of modern sitcom we didnt know we needed to stream

Where something like Georgie & Mandys First Marriage hasnt quite landed how
to adapt the traditional sitcom format for a 2025 audience (think the sound stage, laugh track vibe Young Sheldon left behind in 2017), Leanne has made
it into its own. Why have Morgan and Lorre found it so easy? Because you simply cant help but fall in love with Leanne herself, even if the humor isnt always doing it for you.

Broadly speaking, the structure of sticking a laugh track over multi-cam filmed comedy scenes just doesnt work anymore, even if it did for TBBT back
in 2007. Its just not how we connect to what makes us laugh anymore, and theres a reason why most new hit comedy shows have pivoted to single-cam strategies instead. Leanne takes a risk by keeping it classic, but it naturally lends itself to the Southern charm and sheer amount of bombastic chaos we more regularly saw in pre-2000 comedies. Kristen Johnsons Carol is a fantastic example of this her comedic aura is just too big to restrict to a single camera point of view.

If nothing else, Leanne hammers home the message we need to hear right now. Women are all-powerful and important in every possible aspect of life. If needed, they can move mountains to start from scratch while not losing sight of the joy thats right in front of them. For me, its even better that the
show isnt always perfect, because who wants to be that? As someone who misses Young Sheldon et al. more than I miss George Cooper being alive, Leanne has perfectly scratched that sitcom itch.
