Chuck Lorre discovered stand-up comedian Leanne Morgan through her 2023 Netflix special “I’m Every Woman,” which struck a chord with the comedy powerhouse. Hailing from Tennessee, Morgan, a mother and grandmother in her 50s, impressed Lorre with her authentic voice and unique perspective.

After a visit to Knoxville to meet Morgan and her family, Lorre decided to collaborate with her on a new Netflix sitcom titled “Leanne,” set to premiere on July 31. This opportunity was a game-changer for Morgan, who had faced numerous development deals that never materialized. The personal touch of Lorre flying to Tennessee and offering her a television show was a validation of her talent after years of rejection.

Netflix, recognizing the potential in working with Morgan, was eager to be a part of the project. The streamer has been expanding its “Netflix Is a Joke” comedy lineup, focusing on authentic voices like Morgan’s. This trend harkens back to the 1990s comedy boom when comedians like Roseanne Barr and Jerry Seinfeld transitioned from stand-up to successful sitcoms.

With an unprecedented 16-episode order, “Leanne” follows the story of a woman whose life is turned upside down when her husband leaves her for another. While the storyline isn’t autobiographical for Morgan, she can relate to the character’s journey of embracing new challenges later in life. Transitioning to acting and learning the ropes of filming was a daunting task for Morgan, but with support from seasoned professionals like Jerry Seinfeld and Kristen Johnston, she found her footing on set.

Lorre praised Morgan’s dedication and talent, noting her ability to tackle dramatic scenes with ease. The sitcom promises a blend of humor and heart, showcasing Morgan’s range as a performer. As she navigates this new chapter in her career, surrounded by a supportive cast and crew, Morgan is poised to make a mark in the world of television comedy.
