Reba McEntire offered a sneak peek of the Happy’s Place theme song as the country legend’s newest sitcom nears its premiere date.
McEntire shared a video on Instagram on Thursday (October 10), and announced the official theme song will release on Friday (October 11). It will arrive one week before the series premiere, slated for Friday, October 18 on NBC.
The soon-to-debut show follows Bobbie, McEntire’s character, who inherits the tavern, Happy’s Place, from her father. Bobbie “is surprised to discover that she has a new business partner, Isabella (Belissa Escobedo), a twentysomething half-sister that she never knew she had,” per the show’s description. The Happy’s Place cast also includes Pablo Castelblanco, Tokala Black Elk, McEntire’s boyfriend Rex Linn, and reunites McEntire with her Reba costar, Melissa Peterman. McEntire executive produces the series with Michael Hanel, Mindy Schultheis, Matt Berry, Pamela Fryman and writer Kevin Abbott, who created Happy’s Place with Julie Abbott.
McEntire and Peterman played unlikely friends on the beloved early 2000s series. The show premiered in 2001, and the finale aired in 2007. It also starred Christopher Rich, JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Steve Howey, Scarlett Pomers and Mitch Holleman. Like she did for Reba, McEntire performs the Happy’s Place theme song.
