Lea & Fran (Johnsonverse)

Lea & Fran is an American animated adult sitcom series created by Tammy Jo Johnson. It has aired on WBC since September 14, 2008, and stars the voices of Ilana Glazer and Charlize Theron as the title characters, Lea Walters and Fran King, both of whom are roommates living in the town of Tengoku, Kanto. The series takes place in the same universe as Detective Jenny (1994-2001; 2017-present).

The show has received praise from critics and audience due to its realistic artstyle, animation, voice acting, characters, and premise. The show has been renewed for seasons 13 to 15.

Premise
The show revolves around a pair of roommates in a suburb in Tengoku.

Opening sequence
The opening sequence is inspired by the intro for sitcoms such as That '70s Show, showing Lea and Fran driving on the road with other characters in other cars. The theme song, titled "On the Road", is written by Johnson and was originally performed by Michael Jackson; starting in the third season, after Jackson's 2009 death, the song was re-recorded with Paul De Lisle of Smash Mouth, though the full Jackson version has been released on the soundtrack in 2018 alongside the full De Lisle version.
