Reba McEntire is returning to TV comedy — and bringing some close friends with her. On May 14, NBC dropped a trailer for the country icon's new sitcom, “Happy’s Place,” that just so happens to also star her boyfriend, Rex Linn, and former “Reba” co-star Melissa Peterman. McEntire, who has no plans to leave “The Voice,” is a sitcom veteran, having starred in the series “Reba,” in which she played a suddenly single mom. That show ran for six seasons between 2001 and 2007.
” The 'Fancy' singer did not shy away from the possibility that art may imitate life when asked if their characters could develop a romance. “Wow, you think there could? I’m sure glad you brought that up,” she joked. Peterman, Pablo Castelblanco and Tokala Black Elk will also star in the show. What’s with the 'Reba' reunion? Yes, Peterman, who played the delightfully ditzy and perky Barbra Jean on “Reba,” is teaming up with McEntire again.
