Reba McEntire’s Sitcom With 73% RT Score Returns For Season 2 with New Romance and A Big Secret

Fans were delighted when Reba McEntire’s popular NBC sitcom Happy’s Place was renewed for a second season. And the upcoming installment has lots in store for viewers.

Created by Kevin and Julie Abbott, Happy’s Place follows Bobbie (McEntire), a woman who inherits a bar after her father dies. She later discovers she has a half-sister who also has a share of the inheritance. Per the official logline via People, when Happy’s Place reopens its doors in Season 2, a long-buried secret comes to light that will test loyalties and shake things up inside the tavern.”

“Through it all, Bobbie must remind everyone that family isn’t what you’re born into, but it’s the people that stand beside you, even in the workplace,” the official Season 2 description continues. A trailer for the upcoming episodes dives straight into Bobbie’s complicated feelings for Emmett (Rex Linn) after their big season one finale confession.

“Emmett is cute, but the men are the ones that are supposed to ask the women out,” Bobbie tells Gabby (Melissa Peterman). “That hasn’t been true for 30 years,” Gabby shoots back, prompting Bobbie’s frazzled response. “I haven’t dated in 30 years!” Another scene sees Bobbie spiraling to her sister Isabella (Belissa Escobedo), saying, “I’m starting to get a nervous sweat right now just thinking about it.”

Happy’s Place Season 1 featured cameos from McEntire’s Reba co-stars, and Season 2 promises to continue the trend with more reunions. “We definitely want to bring Joanna [Garcia Swisher] in,” Kevin Abbott said. “We’ve been talking to her. It’s a matter of timing for her.” Garcia played Reba’s daughter, Cheyenne Hart-Montgomery, in the sitcom. The actor went on to build a successful career of her own.

McEntire Loved Reuniting with Her Reba Co-Stars

McEntire previously talked about what it was like to share the screen with her Reba co-stars again. “It was very emotional,” she told People in May. “That’s the way it was for all of us to be so blessed. If you get one really good sitcom that lasts for six seasons, you think, ‘Man, I’ve got the golden ring. That’ll be it. Probably never do it again, because that’s magic in a bottle.’ We got it again and we realize it.”

“It’s real easy to step back into that with the crew. You love people you get to work together with that you’ve worked with before. It’s just so much easier than starting over,” the actor and country singer added. Along with McEntire, Peterman, and Linn, Happy’s Place also stars Belissa Escobedo, Pablo Castelblanco and Tokala Black Elk. McEntire also serves as an executive producer on the series.

Happy’s Place Season 2 premieres on NBC on Nov. 7, with new episodes available for streaming on Peacock the next day.
