“Grandma from Tennessee” is officially back on set. Filming has begun on the highly anticipated second season of the Netflix sitcom lienLeanne Morgan herself confirmed the news this morning.
Following the breakout debut in the summer of 2025, fans are eagerly awaiting news on when they can expect to see the Morgan family back on their screens. In November 2025, we reported that tickets were “on sale” for live tapings of the show starting in January 2026 (they’re free), with filming dates pushed back to the end of February. We now have confirmation that cameras are rolling in Los Angeles.
For those learning, the series is co-created by Leanne Morgan, Chuck Lorre (big bang theory, Mother), and Susan McMartin. The show received the order for a second season in late September last year.
The story follows Leanne, whose life takes an unexpected turn when her husband of 33 years leaves her for another woman. Entering a new chapter by becoming a grandmother and going through menopause, Leanne rebuilds her life with the help of her eccentric family – including her ride-or-die sister Carol (played by the fabulous Kristen Johnston), her traditional parents (Celia Weston and Blake Clark), and her ex-husband (Ryan Stiles).

While maintaining the classic multi-cam format for which executive producer Chuck Lorre is famous, filming is taking place in front of a live studio audience. Tickets for the taping at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank are reportedly already being distributed for early 2026 dates.
Release Date: When will Season 2 be on Netflix?
While Netflix has not officially confirmed anything specific Day For releases, we have a release window.
One of the biggest questions for Season 2 that we don’t have answers to yet is whether the show will stick to its 16-episode season order or be cut down. We’d bet on the latter, but time will tell.
Note: Like all production schedules, this August target is subject to change based on filming delays or post-production needs.
If this window holds, it would mirror the release strategy of Season 1, which ended in late July 2025, making lien A staple of Netflix’s summer comedy lineup.
