No, Leanne is not based on a true story! While the show is named after its main actor, it is only loosely based on Leanne as a character. In real life, Morgan is happily married to her husband, Chuck, and has been for 33 years. She does also have a younger sister, Beth, but they do not live together in a classic sitcom scenario. Rats!

Leanne Morgan said she felt her career had peaked, but then she did something that turned everything around, and now she has her first-ever sitcom on Netflix.

Kristen Johnston, Celia Watson, Blake Clark, Ryan Stiles, and Tim Daly also star in the multicam, co-created by Chuck Lorre, Morgan and Susan McMartin.
