Everything to Know About the New Reba McEntire Sitcom ‘Happy’s Place’ on NBC
Fans who have been clamoring for a Reba reboot will have to settle for an entirely new Reba McEntire sitcom instead. Not a bad tradeoff! It was reported in January that the country superstar would headline a multi-camera comedy pilot at NBC, but we now know that the series, called Happy’s Place, has received a full season order.
As if that wasn’t thrilling enough, the show will reunite McEntire with Reba costar Melissa Peterman.
Read on for more details about the new show, including what it’s about, who else is in the cast and when it might be released.
What is Reba McEntire’s new NBC sitcom Happy’s Place about?
The show centers around McEntire’s character, Bobbie, a woman who “inherits her father’s restaurant and is less than thrilled to discover that she has a new business partner in the half-sister she never knew she had,” per the series’ official logline.
Is Reba McEntire’s new NBC sitcom connected to Reba?
No. But it will reunite that show’s EPs: Kevin Abbott will executive produce the pilot alongside Michael Hanel and Mindy Schultheis, who will be non-writing exec producers. (These three also worked in varying capacities on McEntire’s ABC show Malibu Country, which only ran for one season between 2012 and 2013.) New to the mix is Julie Abbott, who will also serve as a non-writing EP.
Who is cast in Reba McEntire’s new NBC sitcom?

McEntire’s former costar, who played Barbra Jean on Reba, joins the cast as Gabby, the restaurant’s “needy and dramatic” bartender who inserts herself into Bobbie’s life.
Peterman confirmed she was joining the show with an enthusiastic Instagram post shared on March 18, 2024. “This.
