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!

The standup comedian stars as a 50something woman who's just been dumped by her husband of three decades, alongside an ensemble cast including Kristen Johnson, Ryan Stiles and Celia Weston.
