    Reba McEntire is returning to the small screen in the new NBC sitcom, “Happy’s Place,” which reunites her with beloved “Reba” co-star Melissa Peterman, as well as her “Reba” co- will executive producers Kevin Abbott, Michael Hanel and Mindy Schultheis.

    Reba says she just loved the premise of the show. “I love the script ‘Happy’s Place’ because it is something that actually really could happen,” she says. “It’s a lot of fun. It’s got a lot of heart to it. It’s about me. I play Bobbie Jo, and my dad is Happy, and he has owned this tavern for many, many years. he’s kind of retired, so I’ve been kind of handling it. Well, my daddy dies, and I go to the lawyer’s office to make sure all the will is just right and sign the papers, and I have quite a surprise. I find out that my daddy did have two families. There you go.”

    The show follows Bobbie Jo (Reba), who inherits her father’s restaurant and is less than thrilled to discover that she has a new business partner in a half-sister (Belissa Escobedo) she never knew she had.

    The rest of the cast includes Reba’s real-life boyfriend, Rex Linn, Pablo Castelblanco and Tokala Black Elk.

    “Happy’s Place” will debut as part of NBC’s 2024 fall schedule and is currently set to air at 8pm ET/7pm CT on Fridays.

    Some of Reba’s previous acting credits include “Tremors,” Broadway’s ”Annie Get Your Gun,” “Young Sheldon,” “The Hammer,” “Buffalo Girls,” “North,” “Maverick,” “One Night at McCools,” “Malibu Country” and many others.

    Fans can celebrate by catching up on the beloved 6-season sitcom Reba, now available to stream on Netflix.

    Reba also continues as a coach on Season 25 of NBC’s The Voice, with the two-part finale set for May 20th and 21st and will return for Season 26 this fall with fellow coaches Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé.

    The Country Music Hall of Famer just released her new song, “I Can’t,” which she just performed on both “The Voice” and last week’s ACM Awards.

    Reba McEntire

    Reba McEntire loves everything about her new song, “I Can’t,” which she debuted in a fiery performance on NBC’s The Voice last week.

    “I love the lyrics of this song. I love the melody,” she says. “I really am drawn to minor chords in a song, and that’s what this one has. A lot of people tell me they can relate to it.”

    Reba also enjoyed the recording process for the driving new song. She says, “Recording this song was a lot of fun ‘cause I got to work with Dave Cobb and his musicians. We stripped it down, and then we recorded it and then started adding more things to the track. It was a lot of fun. We had a great time in the studio.”

    The Oklahoma native is doing double duty on Thursday night’s (May 16th) ACM Awards. She will not only host the entire show, but she’s set to perform “I Can’t, which is the first track from Reba’s upcoming album and was penned by Victoria Banks, Tania Hancheroff and Tia Sillers.
