Watch Reba McEntire Help Reveal Guest Stars Appearing On 'Happy's Place'

Reba McEntire teased celebrity guest stars making an appearance on Happy’s Place.

McEntire shared a reel on Instagram on Thursday (January 8) with Eric Stonestreet, Emmy-winning actor known for his role in Cam on Modern Family. NBC also revealed award-winning actor and comedian Jane Lynch is set to appear on the sitcom.

Happy’s Place stars McEntire as Bobbie, “a tough but lovable woman who inherits her late father’s Tennessee tavern - only to discover that her new co-owner is also the half-sister she never knew she had,” per NBC. “They couldn’t be more different, but they’ll navigate this new life together... because at Happy’s Place, everyone is family.” The series, created by Julie Abbott and Kevin Abbott, also stars McEntire’s real-life fiancé, Rex Linn, plus Melissa Peterman, Belissa Escobedo, Pablo Castelblanco and Tokala Black Elk.

McEntire said in an interview with iHeartCountry last year that the key to a successful sitcom is strong writing, expertly blending “comedy and heart.” She said “it is very important to have heart in there. You gotta laugh, but you gotta cry. You’ve got to hit all of those emotions.” She said of Happy’s Place, “all of the characters – and I do call us ‘characters,’ the actors, we are characters in our own right. We’re so diversified that we bring to the table something in real life that I think comes through on the screen. …We love each other. We respect each other’s opinion on things, their individual lifestyle, their background, their heritage. It’s a fun family.”

NBC announced on Thursday that Stonestreet will play “Dr. Russell Peabody III, an unconventional therapist.” Lynch will play Peterman’s character’s mother, and “she has a secret.”

Happy’s Place returned for its second season on November 7. The season will return again on Friday, January 16 on NBC and Peacock.
