What is the premise?
TheWrap says Leanne's husband leaves her for another woman after 33 years. With family backing, she embraces chaos and looks for strength, laughter and hope. People notes the comedy was co-created by Morgan with Chuck Lorre and Susan McMartin.
The same People report says it comes from Chuck Lorre Productions with Warner Bros. Television for Netflix. That setup keeps the focus on home life, not workplace gags. New viewers can start with Season 2, but Season 1 explains the breakup.
Who returns and who guests?
People reports eight principals return, led by Morgan in the title role, detailed in its People exclusive trailer report. People lists returners as Kristen Johnston, Ryan Stiles, Celia Weston, Blake Clark, Graham Rogers, Hannah Pilkes and Tim Daly.
The same People coverage adds Lainey Wilson, Jaime Pressly, Billy Gardell and Tyne Daly as guests. That mix keeps familiar family chemistry while adding new comic foils.
When do episodes drop?
BroadwayWorld reports Season 2 drops Aug. 27, 2026 with all 10 episodes together, in its BroadwayWorld trailer report. The same BroadwayWorld report says Netflix renewed it Sept. 8, 2025 after two weeks in its Global Top 10.
TheWrap says Season 1 premiered July 31, 2025 with all 16 episodes at once. Those were short multi-camera episodes, meaning several cameras film the action with studio-audience energy. Plan for a one-sitting or two-night binge, not a weekly wait. Rewatch key Season 1 family arcs first if you want full payoff.
How did Season 1 score?
Rotten Tomatoes records about 71-74 percent critics Fresh and 88 percent audience for Season 1 only on its Rotten Tomatoes Season 1 page. Viewers liked it more than critics did.
Use them as a Season 1 baseline for tone and crowd appeal. If you trust audience laughter over critic splits, this leans in your favor.

JustWatch lists Season 2 in the U.S. as streaming only on Netflix and Netflix Standard with Ads in its JustWatch Season 2 listing. The same JustWatch listing shows no free option, so you need a Netflix subscription to binge it. Check your plan before Aug.
