There is a certain electricity in the air when a new comedy is about to drop, especially one that promises both hearty laughs and a big heart. Sometimes, the best stories begin with a twist of fate, a dash of chaos, and a whole lot of Southern charm. You know, the kind where family, food, and a little bit of menopause collide spectacularly. The buzz has been building quietly with Leanne queued up for the summer, and let us just say, Netflix is about to get a whole lot funnier this July.

Juggling heart, humor and a dash of that southbound sass, Leanne has pulled together a lineup that is as intriguing as the story itself, with a chemistry that perfectly humors the bubbling, everyday family chaos.

Rounding out the main cast are Graham Rogers as Tyler and Hannah Pilkes as Josie, with recurring roles from Tim Daly, Jayma Mays, Annie Gonzalez, and Blake Gibbons. A sitcom dream team, this line-up is ready to deliver punchlines and poignant moments in equal measure.
