Everything We Know About Lainey Wilson’s Guest Appearance on Season 2 of Netflix’s ‘Leanne’

Season 2 of the hilarious new sitcom, Leanne, officially premiered on Netflix today (August 27), and it’s brought a slew of special guests making cameos throughout the episodes including country superstar Lainey Wilson.

The sitcom, inspired by Leanne Morgan’s stand-up comedy, picks up as the star herself continues adjusting to life after her divorce. This season sees her taking on everything from a kitchen remodel to getting back into the dating world after nearly 30 years of marriage, all while her family remains close by to help her navigate it all.

After the success of its first season that premiered in the summer of 2025, Netflix quickly renewed Leanne for a second season. Throughout these 10 episodes, viewers will catch guest appearances from Jaime Pressly, Ben Foster, Billy Gardell and Wilson. The singer steps into the role of Jessie, Leanne’s cousin, and appears in Episode 9.

Morgan first teased Wilson’s involvement in the show earlier this year when she shared behind-the-scenes photos from the set, including one with Wilson.

“Look who dropped by the set of ‘LEANNE’ season 2!!! 😍 Couldn’t we all be family?? 😝💙,” she wrote in the caption.

Now that the season is here, fans can finally see the two stars share the screen. In a more recent clip previewing the new season, Wilson’s character is seen showing up at Leanne’s house, leading to a fun reunion between the cousins.

“Is that my favorite cousin?” Leanne asks.

“You know it is,” Jessie replies.

In addition to her guest stars, Morgan’s character has made a strong return to Netflix alongside her ex-husband Bill (Ryan Stiles), her sister Carol (Kristen Johnston), and her parents Mama Margaret (Celia Weston) and Daddy John (Blake Clark) in tow.
