BACK TO BASICS

Reba has been busy promoting Happy’s Place on social media and elsewhere.

The Voice fans gush Reba McEntire ‘showed the contestants how it’s done’ as she performs ‘jaw-dropping’ new song I Can’t
In April, she revealed that her new show will be similar to her iconic WB series, which ran from 2001 to 2007.

For one, Happy’s Place will bring back Melissa, who starred alongside the I’m a Survivor star on her past show.

Reba will play a tavern owner called Bobbie on the new show.

She opened up to Entertainment Tonight about the show and what fans can expect from it.

Reba McEntire TV Appearances

In addition to being a country superstar, Reba McEntire has enjoyed a lucrative career in TV and film. She had her own eponynimous sitcom, which ran from 2001 to 2007, and also famously served as a judge on The Voice. Reba’s acting credits don’t stop there, however.

“My dad was the owner, and I’ve been running it for the last 10 years, and my dad died,” she said.

“So I find out some information at the reading of his will that I’m not too happy with, so…”

Bobbie’s half-sister, played by Blue Beetle star Belissa Escobedo, joins Reba’s character’s business as a partner, which is the news Bobbie isn’t “too happy” with.

There is sure to be plenty of comic relief on the show as the power struggle between Bobbie and he half-sister plays out.

Melissa is set to play a character called Gabby on the show, according to Deadline.

Gabby is a bartender who wishes she was Bobbie’s sister.

The show will be executive-produced by Kevin Abbott, Michael Hanel, and Mindy Schultheis.

Each of them worked with Reba on her previous series.

The award-winning musician confessed to ET that she was confident her new show would be “heartfelt and fun” because Reba’s showrunners were working on it.

“It’s the shame showrunner, same writers, and same producers as [Reba]. So it’s gonna be that heartfelt, fun, funny, laugh at our silliness, but also be touched by the heart in the show,” she told the outlet.

“That’s what I really loved about Reba.”

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

Reba’s new TV venture was announced in January.

Prior to being called back to scripted television, she has been focused on her music and The voice.

Reba officially became a coach on the singing competition series in 2023.

Additionally, Reba performed the national anthem at the Super Bowl LVIII back in February.

She has been keeping her acting skills sharp, though.

Reba appeared in a skit with former The Voice coach Gwen Stefani, 54, on The Voice finale last year.
