The CMA winner will trade the stage for a sitcom set in the new season of Netfilx's Leanne.
The country superstar is officially making her comedic acting debut, guest-starring in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s hit sitcom Leanne premiering August 27th.
Wilson will appear as a character named Jessie in Episode 209 of Leanne Season 2, adding yet another unexpected credit to an already jam-packed résumé.
And considering Wilson’s larger-than-life personality, quick wit and undeniable Southern charm, this casting feels almost too perfect.
Lainey Wilson Is Ready to Get Funny
Created by comedy heavyweight Chuck Lorre alongside series star Leanne Morgan, Leanne puts Morgan’s signature Southern humor front and center, meaning Wilson should feel right at home.
While fans are accustomed to seeing Wilson dominate award-show stages, headline massive concerts and deliver powerhouse country anthems, watching her jump into a full-blown comedy is an entirely different kind of treat.
Exactly what trouble, or hilarity her character Jessie will bring remains to be seen, but putting Wilson and Morgan together has all the makings of must-watch television.
Seriously, somebody make sure the cameras keep rolling between takes.
Lainey Wilson Really Is Everywhere
At this point, it might be easier to name something Lainey Wilson isn’t doing.
Music superstar? Check.
Award-show favorite? Check.
Touring powerhouse? Absolutely.
Dramatic actress? Been there.
Netflix comedy guest star? Add it to the list.
Wilson continues to prove that her talents stretch far beyond the recording studio, and her upcoming Leanne appearance could introduce audiences to yet another side of the country phenom. So clear some room on the watchlist, country fans.
Lainey Wilson is coming to Netflix, and Jessie just might be her funniest role yet.
