Netflix has set the premiere date for Season 2 of the comedy series Leanne for August 27, according to an announcement from Deadline published June 24.
The series stars Leanne Morgan and Kristen Johnston, and the new season will arrive on Netflix on the specified date.
Deadline also reported that the Season 2 run will include a lineup of guest stars, with Tyne Daly among the featured additions.
Daly will appear on the show that stars her sister’s son, Tim Daly, per the report noting the family connection between Daly and Tim Daly, who is part of Leanne’s cast.
The announcement did not specify what character Tyne Daly will play in the new season. It also did not provide additional detail on the timing of her appearance within the season’s episode order.
