Red-headed actress and legendary country crooner Reba McEntire is at it again with another funny project for the whole family.
And this time, she's joined by a familiar face.
Believe it or not, a whole generation of adults grew up watching McEntire's classic series Reba and didn't even know she was a country singer.
Her roles and country queen persona are very similar, with the only difference being her singing.
In recent years, the southern songstress appeared in a leading role in the Big Sky series.
This fall, Reba returns with Melissa Peterman and up-and-coming actress Belissa Edwards. Here's everything we know so far about Happy's Place!

Bobbi (Reba McEntire) inherits her father's restaurant and is less than thrilled to discover she has a new business partner in the half-sister she never knew she had.

As buyers touch down at Lax for the annual LA Screenings, it will be a case of a return to the norm following the unusual circumstances of last year. The Hollywood labor strikes not only threw confusion on what would be a realistic purchase, but also stopped acquisitions executives getting face time (and a quick selfie) with acting and writing talent — something many value as part of their buying process.
There will be no such issues this year, and the studio sales bosses are relishing a return to the norm. “We’re really excited, it feels like we’re really back after the strikes and firing on all cylinders,” says David Decker, President of Content Sales for Warner Bros. Discovery (Wbd). “We have an abundance of titles that run the gamut of broadcast and streaming in drama and comedy. We’ll be showing the best of what Wbd stands for.

Is Reba McEntire running a little behind Bob Hope, as an awards-show-hosting perennial… or actually a little bit ahead? It depends how you count. Because this year marks her 17th year hosting the Academy of Country Music Awards, aka the ACMs, and Hope did the Oscars 19 times, so she’s still two years from matching his record, if we compare these gigs.
However, McEntire has also hosted a rival program, the CMA Awards, five times over the years. So if we include all the times that McEntire has hosted one country awards program or another, she’s actually up to 22, if we’re doing our math right… well ahead of Hope. Something’s clicking, to say the least.
Variety clicked onto a Zoom with McEntire for a few minutes in the run-up to Thursday night’s ACM Awards, which for the third year are being broadcast live exclusively on Prime...

Reba McEntire and Melissa Peterman are officially back together in the first trailer for their upcoming NBC sitcom Happy’s Place, which was handed a series order earlier this month. The new sitcom reunites McEntire and Peterman more than 17 years after both starred together in Reba, which aired its final episode on The CW in 2007.

When an estimated 1,000 international TV buyers descend on Los Angeles for the annual TV event known as the LA Screenings, they will see a contracted market still recovering from the twin Hollywood strikes of last year and, to a somewhat lesser extent, the pandemic.
It kicks off with the LA Screenings Independents, held May 15-17 for smaller studios and distributors at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel, which are then followed by screenings at the major studios’ respective lots across May 18-22 where they present their latest shows. They may also host a variety of events for their clients during those days, which may include cocktail receptions and luncheons or dinners with talent and executives.
While stalled projects ramped up as soon as the strikes ended, some delays were inevitable. “A couple of months ago I was wondering if we were going to be entertaining [buyers],” says Lisa Kramer, president, International Content Licensing,...

The Voice’s 26th season is going to the Dogg.
NBC announced at its upfront presentation Monday that Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé will join the singing competition as coaches for its 26th season in the fall. Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani will return to the show, McEntire for her third edition of the show and Stefani for her eighth.
Both Snoop and Bublé have appeared on The Voice in the past: Snoop Dogg served as a “mega mentor” in the show’s 20th season, and Bublé was an adviser to Blake Shelton’s team back in season three.
McEntire’s return means that she’ll bookend NBC’s weeknight schedule in the fall, with The Voice on Mondays and Tuesdays and Happy’s Place, a comedy series starring the multiple Grammy, CMA and ACM award winner, set for Fridays.

While not the traditional venue for touting upcoming movies — as this week is all about wooing Madison Avenue to shell out big bucks for prime ad placement on TV — with film chief-turned-overall content boss Donna Langley on stage for her first upfront, the move was a natural moment for synergy.
Langley teed up a new trailer for “Wicked,” a treat just for those attending the presentation at Radio City Music Hall, and promised it will drop wide later this week.

Looking at the crop of new scripted series selected by the broadcast networks for 2024-25, one cannot help but reminisce about the 20th anniversary of what may have been broadcast television’s greatest season ever.
The 2004-05 season introduced several genre-defying series — all but one based on original ideas — whose impact on TV storytelling is still being felt: Lost, Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy, House, The Office and Veronica Mars. Remarkably, one of them, Grey’s Anatomy is still around, having just been renewed by ABC for Season 21, along with another show that premiered that same season, animated comedy American Dad!.
Aside from the fact that the current economic realities of the TV business will likely never support another drama going to 21 seasons, broadcast networks will also likely never take chances on so many unconventional ideas: a sci-fi drama on a deserted island that set the tone for modern genre fare, a...

NBC has unveiled its 2024 fall schedule, which highlights franchise dramas, two nights of laughs, unscripted hits, live specials, and holiday programming. All new series will stream the next day on Peacock along with the rest of NBC’s entertainment lineup.
Three new series are set to premiere in the fall, including the drama Brilliant Minds, starring Zachary Quinto and inspired by the true story of a revolutionary, larger-than-life neurologist, Oliver Wolf, and his team of interns as they explore the last great frontier — the human mind — while also grappling with their own relationships and mental health.
Also coming is St. Denis Medical, which stars Wendi McLendon-Covey, Allison Tolman, and David Alan Grier and is from co-creators Justin Spitzer and Eric Ledgin. It brings the laughs with a mockumentary about an underfunded, understaffed Oregon hospital where dedicated doctors and nurses try their best to treat patients while maintaining their own sanity.

The network unveiled its 2024 fall schedule, highlighting fan-favorite franchise dramas, two nights of laughs, huge unscripted hits and the biggest and best live specials and holiday programming.
If that seems like a mouthful, the details will probably help you see what’s what.
Fall Season
Three new series are set to premiere in the fall, including the drama Brilliant Minds, starring Zachary Quinto and inspired by the true story of a revolutionary, larger-than-life neurologist, Oliver Wolf, and his team of interns as they explore the last great frontier — the human mind — while also grappling with their own relationships and mental health.
St. Denis Medical, which stars Wendi McLendon-Covey, Allison Tolman, and David Alan Grier and is from co-creators Justin Spitzer and Eric Ledgin, brings the laughs with a mockumentary about an underfunded, understaffed Oregon hospital where the dedicated doctors...

NBC has revealed its complete schedule for this fall, and it looks like there’ll be a buffet of offerings available to fans of the network, including the return of some fan-favorite dramas, sports, and some new series debuting in the autumn. Joining the returning shows this fall will be the Zachary Quinto-led medical drama Brilliant Minds, the mockumentary series St. Denis Medical, and Reba McEntire‘s new sitcom Happy’s Place. Meanwhile, Dick Wolf‘s procedurals, One Chicago and the Law & Orders, will return to their tried-and-true schedule spots, with one major change: Noticeably absent from the lineup is Law & Order: Organized Crime, which has been renewed for Season 5 … but at Peacock as a streaming-only drama. Elsewhere in NBC’s upcoming plans, the network will host a behind-the-scenes special about Wicked with Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande called Defying Gravity: The Curtain Rises on Wicked on Nov. 25; they...

NBC’s schedule for the 2024-25 season doesn’t look that different from its current lineup: The Voice on Monday and Tuesday nights, the three Chicago dramas on Wednesday and Law & Order shows on Thursday.
It’s a business-as-usual lineup — but after last year’s strikes-affected schedule and the numerous disrpuptions of the pandemic year of 2020-21 still relatively fresh, that’s a good thing.
“Basically, it was just where do we put our sophomore shows and our our new shows on schedule?” Steve Kern, senior vp program planning and scheduling at NBC Entertainment, told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview. “Our wish was to have two comedy blocks on the fall schedule, and we were fortunate to have enough comedies to do it this year.”

NBC has joined other networks in adding to the slew of cancellations on television. It was announced that a new fan-favorite comedy series would be canceled after just one season. Continue reading for the details about what the latest cancellation is and what’s behind it.
NBC Decides Against Renewing New Comedy Series
Extended Family was granted a pilot episode in 2022. The pilot wound up being a great success and several big names signed up to be part of the show. Some of the names included in the project were Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men), Abigail Spencer (Grey’s Anatomy), and Donald Faison (Scrubs).
However, when they started filming, it was delayed by the strikes, which went on for several months. They were able to film six episodes before the strikes, leaving the remaining seven episodes left to film once production resumed four days after the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike.
