First Look! “Big Bang Theory” Creator Chuck Lorre Drops Explosive Trailer for His Next Must-Watch Sitcom!

Netflix Unveils First Trailer for The Big Bang Theory Co-Creator Chuck Lorre’s Next Sitcom

Sitcom mastermind Chuck Lorre is back at it with Leanne. Lorre, known for co-creating Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory, developed Leanne with Susan McMartin (Mom) and funnywoman Leanne Morgan. It is heavily based on the comedy of Leanne Morgan, the comedian whose stand-up special, I’m Every Woman, was a big hit on the Netflix streaming charts.

Leanne will premiere on Netflix on July 31, and now the show has gotten its first official trailer. It reveals the first footage of the new series, which will have 16 episodes in total for its freshman season. It’s a sitcom that picks up on a down note, starting after Leanne’s husband of 33 years leaves her for another woman. However, fans should also still expect for there to be plenty of laughs, as Morgan’s character uses humor to cope with her emotions. Check out the new trailer below.

“This is something I’ve dreamed of since I was a little girl, and it was just as exciting as I imagined,” Morgan told Tudum about getting her own sticom, which has the added benefit of allowing her to put her own unique brand of comedy into it. “Learning a new medium was definitely a challenge — memorizing new scripts every week was totally new for me — but I loved it. As a stand-up, the comedic timing felt natural, and filming in front of a live audience was especially comfortable. By the end of the season, it really felt like home.”

Leanne Morgan’s Stand-Up Fans Will Love the Sitcom

Lorre added, “If you’ve seen even 10 seconds of Leanne Morgan’s stand-up, then you know what a unique comedic force she is. The theme of starting over is universal, and I cannot think of anyone better to combine heart and comedy than Leanne. I knew I had to work with her, and I’m so excited to bring this story to Netflix.”

The series also stars Kristen Johnson (Mom, The Righteous Gemstones) as Carol, Leanne’s sister. Other stars include Graham Rogers (Ray Donovan), Hannah Pilkes (Would I Lie to You), Ryan Stiles (Whose Line Is It Anyway?), Celia Weston (In the Bedroom), and Blake Clark (Toy Story 4). Morgan is executive producing alongside Lorre, McMartin, Nick Bakay, and Judi Marmel. Chuck Lorre Productions, Inc. produces in association with Warner Bros. Television.

“It truly felt like I’d known them my whole life,” Morgan said of her co-stars. “There was an instant bond and chemistry that made it feel like family from day one. We still keep in touch, and I think that says a lot.”

Leanne will premiere on July 31, 2025, on Netflix. For fans of Morgan, Netflix has also ordered two more stand-up specials.
