Reba McEntire and Melissa Peterman are excited for the world to see their new sitcom, Happy's Place, which reunites them more than 17 years after their hit show Reba ended. The pair spoke at a Television Critics Association panel, expressing how natural it felt to reprise their roles and work together again. Executive producer Kevin Abbott faces the challenge of creating new characters for the actresses, despite their iconic past roles. McEntire and Peterman rely on the writing to guide their characters' new relationship on the show, with Peterman playing a bartender at Happy's Place, co-owned by McEntire's character. The series follows McEntire's character, Bobbie, returning to take over her father's bar alongside a half-sister she never knew she had. The cast's chemistry and comedic timing promise a fun and entertaining show, set to premiere on NBC on Friday, Oct. 18 at 8 p.m.
