Reba McEntire Opens Up About Her New NBC Sitcom ‘Happy’s Place’ & Reveals She’s Singing the Theme Song

Reba McEntire is revealing more details about her brand new sitcom.

NBC has handed a series order to Happy’s Place, a multi-camera comedy starring McEntire and and her former Reba co-star Melissa Peterman. It will air during the 2024-2025 TV season.

The comedy centers around Bobbie, played by McEntire, who inherits her father’s restaurant and is less than thrilled to find she has a half-sister she never knew she had, who also becomes her business partner. The new series was created by Reba executive producer Kevin Abbott.

Fans of her original sitcom will also be happy to know she’ll be performing the new sitcom’s theme song as well.

In an interview with People, McEntire said: “Oh, definitely. I’ll be singing the theme song. We’ve started working on it, and we’ll have it soon finished. If they say it’s a go, I’ll finish it up and have it ready for when we go to series.”

Reba originally aired from October 2001 to February 2007, with five seasons on The WB and the sixth and final season airing on The CW.
