Netflix Orders Leanne Morgan Sitcom; Dora Renewed for Season 2 at Paramount+

Netflix announced a 16-episode order for an untitled Leanne Morgan scripted, multicam comedy, starring the popular stand-up comedian. The series is created by Morgan, Chuck Lorre and Susan McMartin. Additionally, Morgan will do two stand-up specials for Netflix.

Untitled Leanne Morgan Project Logline: Leanne's life takes an unexpected turn when her husband of 33 years leaves her for another woman. Starting over when you're a grandmother and in menopause isn't exactly what she had in mind, but with the help of her family she will navigate this new chapter with grace, dignity and jello salad. This marks Lorre's latest project for Netflix, following the critically-acclaimed and Golden Globe award winning series The Kominsky Method.

Dora

Paramount+ announced that its original animated preschool series Dora has been renewed for a second season. The iconic Latina heroine made her triumphant return earlier this month in the all-new CG-animated series produced by Nickelodeon Animation. Dora is currently available to stream exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia, Latin America, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Austria, and also on Nick Jr. internationally. Dora follows everyone’s favorite bilingual explorer, Dora (Diana Zermeño), and her best monkey friend, Boots (Asher Colton Spence) as they embark on epic adventures in a fantastical rainforest. Guided by trustworthy Map (Anairis Quiñones), Dora and her friends must work together to overcome many obstacles while being challenged by the sneakiest fox, Swiper (Marc Weiner). Kathleen Herles, the original voice of Dora the Explorer, voices her mother Mami.
