Reba McEntire’s Latest Multi-Camera Sitcom Lands Pilot Order at NBC
NBC has given a pilot order to a new Reba McEntire untitled multi-camera sitcom.
The show, from Universal Studio Group’s Universal TV division, stars McEntire as a woman who “inherits her father’s restaurant and is less than thrilled to discover that she has a new business partner in the half-sister she never knew she had.” Kevin Abbott is the writer and exec producer, while Michael Hanel, Mindy Schultheis and Julie Abbott are non-writing exec producers. More recently, McEntire has played June as a recurring role on “Young Sheldon.” She also appeared in Season 3 of ABC’s “Big Sky” as Sunny Barnes, and starred in the Lifetime movie “Reba McEntire’s The Hammer” (in which she reunited with “Reba” co-star Melissa Peterman). Abbott’s most recent credits include “Last Man Standing” (which McEntire guest starred on), as well as “The Cool Kids” and “Cristela.” Besides “Reba,” the TV vet has worked on shows like “Roseanne,” “The Golden Girls,” “Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper” and “Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place.”
