NEED TO KNOW
Leanne Morgan’s new special, Unspeakable Things, is coming to Netflix.
PEOPLE can exclusively reveal the trailer for Morgan’s second Netflix comedy special, in which she takes on topics including motherhood, trying CBD for the first (and last) time, navigating fame and the less glamorous side of family vacations.
In the teaser, the Tennessee native, 60, jokes, “I remember praying to the Lord, and saying what did I do that was so bad that this is my vacation now?”

Morgan’s new special, which is directed by Manny Rodriguez, is her second for the streamer following 2023’s I’m Every Woman, which remains Netflix’s most-viewed stand-up show from a female comedian globally.
The actress is also the co-creator and star of Netflix’s sitcom Leanne from The Big Bang Theory and Mom creator Chuck Lorre. The scripted comedy, which has been renewed for a second season, debuted on Netflix’s Global Top 10.
Morgan’s relatable storytelling and Southern humor have made her a powerhouse in comedy. In an August interview, she told PEOPLE that getting her own sitcom the year she turned 60 was “perfect timing.”
“I’m a mama from Knoxville, Tennessee, and this happening for me, it’s a miracle and a blessing,” she said. “And honey, I still don’t believe it.”

Leanne is inspired in part by the comedian’s life. The series, which premiered in July 2025, stars Morgan, Kristen Johnston, Celia Weston, Blake Clark, Ryan Stiles, Graham Rogers and Hannah Pilkes.
“When [Lorre] came to my house in Knoxville to learn more about me and my family for inspiration for the show, I had to pinch myself,” Morgan told PEOPLE in a May interview. “To make my very first television series with a titan of the industry taught me something new every day, and I’m so honored to work with him.”
Though in Leanne, Morgan’s character is grappling with her husband of 33 years leaving her for another woman, Morgan is happily married to her husband, Chuck Morgan. The two tied the knot in 1993 and share three children: Charlie, Maggie and Tess.
