Reba McEntire announced the premiere date of the first episode of the sitcom Happy’s Place has been confirmed, but an interesting plot point in it has been replaced by…
Happy’s Place finds McEntire playing Bobbie, a woman who inherits a restaurant from her father.
Soon she discovers a half-sister (Escobedo) she never knew she had.
The two become unlikely business partners; in real life, McEntire is 69 and Escobedo is 25, so it’s safe to expect some generation gap humor.
Linn and Peterman’s roles (see below) position each to share the screen with the show’s star often. That could give the show a head start, given their on and off-screen chemistry.
Since the end of Reba, Peterman and McEntire have toured together and filmed many comedic social media clips together. Their timing is still very sharp.
Linn (formerly of CSI: Miami) appeared alongside McEntire in a made-for-TV movie called The Hammer and on ABC’s Big Sky.
One hopes that if the two are lovers in Happy’s Place, they reach a different conclusion than they did on Big Sky, where McEntire’s Sunny kills husband Buck (Linn).
The cast and characters on Happy’s Place represent a diverse set of backgrounds. Here’s what’s known, courtesy of several media outlets, including TVLine.
Reba McEntire as Bobbie: The star of Happy’s Place is “less than thrilled” to be inheriting her father’s business.
Belissa Escobedo as Isabella: Bobbie’s twenty-something half-sister is thrilled to be working at the tavern. The psychology student is full of energy, smart and creative.
Melissa Peterman as Gabby: Gabby is a bartender at the restaurant. She’s described as needy and dramatic and secretly wishing she was Bobbie’s sister.
Rex Linn as Emmett: A cook at Happy’s Place.
Tokala Black Elk as Takoda: A waiter at the tavern.
Pablo Castelblanco as Steve: An accountant.
Happy’s Place was just a pilot until NBC ordered the series for the 2024-2025 broadcast season. No premiere date has been announced yet. Typically, new shows begin in the fall.
