What To Watch Next: 5 Netflix Shows Perfect for Fans of Leanne
Leanne Morganâs first comedy series on Netflix has become an overnight sensationâand fans canât stop asking whether a second season is on the way.
The 59-year-old grandmother from Tennessee, who rose to fame as a stand-up comic, co-created the 16-episode sitcom Leanne alongside legendary producer Chuck Lorre (Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory) and Susan McMartin (Mom). Morgan not only stars as a woman starting over after a 30-year marriage ends, but also serves as executive producer and writer.
The result? A heartfelt, hilarious series that debuted July 31 with 2.7 million views, landing at No. 7 on Netflixâs Top 10 listâand now holding strong at No. 6. Itâs a remarkable achievement in an industry where women over 50 occupy just 8% of leading TV roles.
Lorre, who has created more than 20 hit series, first noticed Morgan after watching her Netflix stand-up special Leanne Morgan: Iâm Every Womanâthe streamerâs most-viewed stand-up set by a woman since 2023.
âI thought my career had peaked,â Morgan recently told co-star Kristen Johnston. âBut then I took a riskâand everything changed.â
While viewers wait for news on Season 2, these five Netflix titles capture the same humor, heart, and second-act energy that make Leanne so irresistible.
1. Leanne Morgan: Iâm Every Woman
Before her scripted debut, Morgan wowed audiences on stage with this breakout Netflix special. Her PG-rated humorârich with stories about marriage, motherhood, and life in the Southâmade her a household name and inspired her current tour, aptly titled Just Getting Started.
2. A Man on the Inside
Ted Danson leads this warm-hearted comedy about a retired man who becomes an undercover informant after answering an unusual ad. Created by Mike Schur (The Good Place), the series was named one of AFIâs TV Programs of the Year and stayed in Netflixâs Top 10 for five weeks. Season 2 arrives later this year, featuring Mary Steenburgen, Gary Cole, Jason Mantzoukas, and more.
3. Grace & Frankie
Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin shine in this seven-season hit about two women rebuilding their lives after their husbands leave themâfor each other. The series blends sharp comedy with themes of friendship, family, and reinventionâmaking it a natural fit for Leanne fans.
4. North of North
This Arctic-set comedy follows Siaja (Anna Lambe), a young mother chasing independence and a new career after a sudden divorce. Living with her feisty daughter and outspoken mom, Siaja navigates small-town struggles, personal dreams, and a family secret that threatens to upend everything.

5. The Kominsky Method
Another Chuck Lorre gem, this award-winning series stars Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin as lifelong friends tackling the absurdities of aging in Hollywood. With appearances from Kathleen Turner, Sarah Baker, and Paul Reiser, the show mixes sharp humor with poignant reflections on friendship and family.
