There’s a new multi-camera comedy featuring Reba McEntire on your way soon! Happy’s Place stars country music and sitcom star McEntire as Bobbie, who with her half-sister Isabella (Belissa Escobedo) inherits her late father’s bar. With the setup that Bobbie never knew she had a half-sister, there’s sure to be lots of situation comedy in store.

The main cast will also include Melissa Peterman as Gabby. Fans of the sitcom Reba may recognize Peterman as a co-star from that series. And that’s not the only instance of the new sitcom’s cast keeping it “all in the family.” Also appearing in a main role on the series is McEntire’s real-life boyfriend, Rex Linn, in the role of Emmett, the bar’s short order cook.

Also appearing on the series will be Pablo Castelblanco as Steve and Tokala Black Elk as Takoda. The show was created by Kevin Abbott, who is also showrunner and executive producer. Additional executive producers include Michael Hanel, Mindy Schultheis, Julie Abbott and McEntire herself.

So when can you expect to visit the bar for yourself? Happy’s Place will premiere on NBC on Friday, October 18, 2024 at 8/7c, with episodes streaming the next day on Peacock. Are you planning on check the series out when it arrives?
