Cheers to More Laughs! “Happy’s Place” Returns with New Episodes in Early 2025
Good news for fans of Reba McEntire’s heartwarming and hilarious NBC sitcom, “Happy’s Place”! The wait is almost over. Bobbie, Gabby, Emmett, and the entire quirky crew of the beloved bar are set to return with brand new episodes in early 2025, bringing more laughs, heartfelt moments, and classic sitcom shenanigans.
Since its premiere in October 2024, “Happy’s Place” has quickly cemented its place as a comfort show favorite for many. The debut season has been a delightful blend of the familiar and the new, featuring exciting “Reba” universe reunions with fan-favorites Melissa Peterman (as the bubbly bartender Gabby) and Steve Howey, alongside a fresh cast of endearing characters.
At the heart of the series is Reba McEntire’s character, Bobbie, a woman who finds herself unexpectedly inheriting her late father’s bar.2 Her world gets even more interesting when she discovers she has a half-sister, Isabella (Belissa Escobedo), who is now her business partner.3 The first half of the season has seen Bobbie navigate this new family dynamic while also managing her trusty, if sometimes eccentric, staff.
The ensemble cast truly shines, contributing to the show’s charm. Rex Linn, McEntire’s real-life partner, plays the quiet but wise pub cook Emmett.4 Pablo Castelblanco brings his unique touch as Steve, Bobbie’s germaphobic accountant, and Tokala Black Elk rounds out the main cast as Takoda, the friendly waiter and resident handyman.5
Reba McEntire herself has poured her heart into this project, telling NPR’s All Things Considered that she “wanted to work with the same people that I know and love” after “Reba” concluded in 2007.6 Her creative influence extends to the show’s catchy theme song, which she co-wrote and lent her powerful vocals to alongside the legendary Carole King.7
Fans have become deeply invested in the lives and antics of the “Happy’s Place” gang, and the anticipation for new content has been building during the winter hiatus.
