Reba is back! McEntire reunites with her ex co-stars for new sitcom Happy's Place - as first trailer is released

Reba McEntire is set to return to comedy TV as her latest series, Happy's Place, got the green light. The actress, 69, got her latest series ordered by NBC on May 7. She plays Bobbie in the comedy.

Also cased in the flame-haired country crooner's pilot were 1883's Tokala Black Elk as kind waiter Takoda and Alaska Daily's Pablo Castelblanco as OCD-inflicted accountant Steve. Blue Beetle's Belissa Escobedo was cast as as Bobbie's half-sister Isabella, an 'enthusiastic' psychology student, who also inherits the restaurant and has 'great ideas about how to bring it to life' (pictured in 2022) McEntire originally met the 67-year-old actor - who like her graduated from college in Oklahoma - in 1991 on the set of NBC's four-quel flick The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw.
