Production has officially wrapped on the highly anticipated second season of Leanne, Chuck Lorre and Leanne Morgan’s hit multi-cam comedy.
After its 16-episode first season dropped in July 2025 and immediately dominated the Netflix Global Top 10, it didn’t take long for Netflix to greenlight a second season of the Southern-fried sitcom last October. Now, we’re happy to report that the cameras have stopped rolling on Season 2, and we have plenty of new details to share, including writers, a new cast, and some new episode titles.
Filming of season 2 is officially complete
As you may know, multi-cam sitcoms typically have very fast turnaround times. Production on the second season began earlier this year, with episodes taped in front of a live studio audience in Los Angeles between late January and late March 2026.
Over the weekend, cast and crew members took to social media to celebrate the end of production. This is consistent with the filming dates on the 1ioata website, which lists the final taping for April 10.
How many episodes will there be in Lean Season 2?
This is where things get a little interesting.
So far, we have solid confirmation at least Eight episodes for season 2.
We contacted Netflix for clarification on the number of episodes. A representative poured cold water on our theory by suggesting that the eight-episode count is not the case, though they declined to comment further on how many there actually will be.
Considering Season 1 is a massive 16-episode order, it’s entirely possible that Netflix is either keeping quiet on the much larger season (or multi-season) order here. Another reason our acute senses are tingling is that early on, some production websites hinted at an August wrap, and obviously, we’re a long way from that.
Lean Season 2 Episode Titles and Writers
Who is in the writers’ room for the second season? As expected, co-creator Chuck Lorre and executive producer Nick Bakay are back in full force, and are kicking things off by providing the story for the season premiere. In addition to these, you can expect heavy involvement from Mark Gross, Julie Bean, and Amy Hubbs, who frequently tag-teamed both teleplay and story duties throughout the run. John Jack O’Brien, Kelly Farrell and Alexandra Melnick round out the room and garner various writing credits for episodes two through eight.
Who is joining the cast of Lean Season 2?
Naturally, we expect Leanne Morgan to return along with her ride-or-die sister Carol (Kristen Johnston) and the rest of Season 1 favorites, including Celia Weston, Blake Clark, Ryan Stiles, Jemma Mays, Annie Gonzalez, Blake Gibbons, and Graham Rogers.
But we have also seen some new names on IMDb for the upcoming season.
- Tyne Deli Will guest star as Nancy in 1 episode. (Fun fact: Tina Daly is the real-life sister of Tim Daly, who was a series regular in Season 1!)
- jimmy walker jr (The Disappearance of Toby Blackwood) will appear as Gus
- Todd Gibenhan (Superstore) as Garrett
- Kristen O’Meara as kelly
- Dale E. Turner as larry
- Alex Alcheh as danny
Netflix has not yet confirmed those names and did not respond to a request for comment when we contacted, so we’ll keep you posted.
