Melissa Peterman Reflects on Longtime Friendship With Reba McEntire and Celebrates Their New Show (Exclusive)

The actress also shared with ET why she takes a 'little credit' for setting Reba up with her beau, Rex Linn.

The longtime friends and Reba co-stars are set to reunite on a new sitcom, Happy's Place, and on Tuesday, ET's Deidre Behar was the first to break the news to Peterman that their pilot had been picked up to series by Peacock. In addition to Peterman, most of the creative team leads -- executive producers Michael Hanel and Mindy Schultheis, as well as writer Kevin Abbott --- also worked on McEntire's eponymous sitcom, which ran on The WB and The CW from 2001-07. Happy's Place is also set to star Pablo Castelblanco, Tokala Black Elk, and McEntire's real-life beau, Rex Linn-- who previously co-starred with Peterman on Young Sheldon.
