Leanne is a 2025 American comedy series starring stand-up comedian Leanne Morgan, following a Southern grandmother whose settled life gets turned inside out when her husband of over three decades walks out, forcing her to rediscover who she is with her family by her side.

What is Leanne about?

When her husband ends their 33-year marriage without warning, a warm, sharp-tongued Southern grandmother suddenly finds herself starting over at an age when she expected comfort and routine. Rather than fall apart, she leans hard on her adult children, her fierce friends, and her own stubborn humor to push through confusion, loneliness, and the unexpected freedom that comes with a blank slate. Each episode mines the gap between the life she planned and the messier, funnier reality now in front of her — punctuated by potluck dinners, family squabbles, and the occasional restorative bowl of jello salad. The tone stays warm throughout: this is a show about resilience and late-life reinvention, not bitterness.

Cast & crew

Leanne Morgan, a Tennessee comedian famous for her self-deprecating Southern storytelling, leads the cast and draws on her own life for the role. Kristen Johnston, Celia Weston, and Blake Clark round out a seasoned ensemble, while Ryan Stiles and Graham Rogers provide comic contrast. The series is helmed by a rotating team of directors including Nikki Lorre and Andy Ackerman.

Context & significance

Persian-speaking diaspora audiences — many of whom carry their own stories of late-in-life upheaval, immigration, and rebuilding — will find a lot to relate to beneath the Southern American setting. The show's central theme of a woman redefining herself after the family structure shifts is genuinely universal. Leanne is available on K-Time with a full Persian dub, so viewers can enjoy it entirely in Farsi without needing to follow English dialogue. It is a comfortable, low-stakes comedy that works well for family viewing across generations.
