Great news for fans of Happy’s Place: the NBC comedy is officially coming back for a third season. The network confirmed the renewal on February 2, ensuring that Friday nights will continue to belong to Bobbie and the crew at the tavern.
The series, which marks Reba McEntire’s long-awaited return to sitcom television, has steadily built a loyal audience since its October 2024 premiere. With Season 2 currently airing, viewers had been wondering whether the feel-good comedy would continue. Now, they have their answer.
Reba Reacts to the Renewal
When NBC shared the announcement on Instagram with the caption “Another round, please,” McEntire kept her response simple and celebratory: “We’re back!”
Fans immediately flooded the comments with excitement, calling the show a weekly comfort watch and celebrating the chance to spend more time with the characters.
A Real-Life Love Story On Set
Part of the show’s charm comes from McEntire working alongside her real-life partner Rex Linn, who plays Emmett to her Bobbie. Their off-screen relationship adds an extra layer of warmth to their on-screen chemistry.
Linn previously shared that the two often run lines together, sneaking in quick kisses between rehearsals—a dynamic that reflects how much fun they’re having during this stage of their careers.
Why the Renewal Matters
Happy’s Place represents McEntire’s first starring sitcom role since the beloved early-2000s series Reba, and its success proves her enduring appeal in both music and television. The renewal signals NBC’s confidence in the show as a reliable, crowd-pleasing comedy in a competitive prime-time lineup.
The Bottom Line
With Season 3 officially on the way, fans can look forward to more laughs, heartfelt moments, and tavern shenanigans. For McEntire, it’s another chapter in a career that continues to evolve—and for viewers, it means their favorite Friday night hangout isn’t closing anytime soon.
