Fans just got an early sneak peek at Lainey Wilson’s latest acting gig.
Earlier this summer, it was revealed that the country music singer would be one of the newest stars joining Season 2 of the Netflix show Leanne.
Leanne was created by comedian Leanne Morgan, Susan McMartin, and Chuck Lorre. It premiered in July 2025 and quickly became a hit for the streaming service. The show landed in the global Top 10 for English-language series after its debut.
The Emmy-nominated sitcom follows Morgan’s character, whose life “turned upside down when her husband of 33 years unexpectedly leaves her for another woman,” per a Netflix synopsis.
After the success of Season 1, Netflix announced that Leanne would be renewed for a Season 2.
Ahead of the new episodes, which officially dropped on Thursday (Aug. 27), an official trailer was released. Fans got a look at the chaos in store for Leanne, including her coming to terms with turning 60, getting back into the dating world, and adjusting to a new chapter as her elderly parents move in with her.
The teaser was also the first time fans got to see Wilson’s character in action.
