The doors of Happy’s Place are about to swing open again, and the cast is giving fans a special behind-the-scenes look at what’s coming in Season 2. A newly released featurette offers never-before-seen footage from the set, capturing the energy, laughter, and live-audience excitement that define the show’s signature style.
Filmed in front of a studio audience, the sitcom thrives on real-time reactions, and the cast’s pre-show ritual — a spirited “one, two, three, have fun!” chant — sets the tone before every taping. According to Belissa Escobedo, returning after the break felt effortless, with the cast slipping right back into their characters and chemistry as if no time had passed.
Story-wise, romance is taking center stage. Rex Linn teased major developments for Emmett and Bobbie, joking that while Emmett doesn’t deserve her, the relationship could last — unless he ruins it — or even lead to marriage. The playful hint has fans wondering whether real life might inspire the storyline, as Linn and Reba McEntire are engaged offscreen.
Familiar faces are back behind the bar, including Melissa Peterman as Gabby, Tokala Black Elk as Takoda, and Pablo Castelblanco as Steve, alongside Escobedo’s Isabella. Peterman shared how much she loves performing for a live crowd again, while McEntire took a moment to thank fans for making the show’s return possible.
With heart, humor, and a hint of romance, Season 2 promises plenty of laughs when it premieres this November.
