She recently revealed that her former Reba costar, Melissa Peterman and boyfriend, Rex Linn will both have parts in the new NBC sitcom.
"We have been working on trying to get another show since we were canceled on the Reba show," McEntire disclosed to Entertainment Tonight. "We got to do Malibu Country for one season. We've got the same producers, same show-runner, same writers and now we're back with Melissa Peterman and Rex Linn, my boyfriend, and wonderful, wonderful cast and crew."
According to a press release, McEntire will play the part of Bobbie, a woman who inherits her father’s restaurant and despises her new business partner — a half-sister played by Belissa Escobedo — she never knew she had. Peterman will star as a dramatic bartender who longs to be Bobbie’s sister, while Rex’s part has yet to be disclosed.
A premiere date for the series has not been released yet, however in a recent post to social media Reba promised fans she’d be seeing them at Happy’s Place “soon.”
