Reba McEntire Reuniting With ‘Reba’ Team for New Sitcom

Reba McEntire is heading back to the small screen.

Hot on the heels of her run as a coach on the reality singing competition The Voice, McEntire is teaming up again with NBC in an untitled multi-camera comedy pilot.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series revolves around McEntire’s character, “who inherits her father’s restaurant and is less than thrilled to discover she has a new business partner in the half-sister she never knew she had.”

McEntire will reunite with veteran showrunner Kevin Abbott, whose credits include Last Man Standing, Roseanne and The Golden Girls.

Former Reba executive producers Michael Hanel and Mindy Schultheis will reportedly also join McEntire on the new NBC comedy series.

This marks NBC’s first pilot order of 2024 since the end of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

The “Fancy” singer burst onto TV in the early 2000s with her smash hit sitcom Reba, which ran for six seasons from 2001 to 2007.

The series starred McEntire as a Texas-based mom navigating the end of her marriage, her husband’s cheating scandal and her daughter’s teen pregnancy.

Reba lives on in syndication and is currently airing on the Hallmark Channel.

In 2012, McEntire starred in the short-lived ABC series Malibu Country alongside Lily Tomlin and Sara Rue.

She also appeared in Season 3 of ABC’s Big Sky in 2022.

Reba Nell Hart is a single mother recently divorced from a dentist, Brock Hart. She is the star of the show and her no-nonsense, wise-cracking ways drove ratings.

She’s Reba! The television series and its eventual cancelation didn’t slow McEntire’s music career. While she’s not getting rewarded with radio airplay, the Hall of Famer keeps creating great albums while she maintains a high profile as host of shows like the ACM Awards.

Barbara Jean was a stereotypical dumb blonde, but her big heart and affection for Reba — despite being the one who broke up the marriage — was charming. The new Mrs. Hart found out she was pregnant on early on during the series. She remained on the show to the end.

Peterman and McEntire remain very good friends, with the actress and comedian often appearing during specials like the ACM Awards. They’re a peanut butter and jelly kind of duo, but on her own Peterman has been very successful. Most notably, for six seasons she starred as Bonnie, the mother on Baby Daddy on ABC Family.

Reba’s ex-husband is Brock Hart, a dentist who has an affair with his hygienist. The tension between the two ex-lovers was both relatable and a great source of comedy.

Unlike many of the stars of Reba, Hart had TV experience prior to the show and he kept trucking after it was canceled. He divorced in real life, as well. In this picture he’s seen with wife Eva Halina Rich. They were married in 2003.

Jake was the sensible little kid on the show while his older siblings and parents often acted very un-adultlike. His role grew as the show went on.

Holleman has had a few Hollywood roles since Reba ended in 2007, including that of “Max” in the movie The Hangover (2009). We don’t remember who Max was, either, but the kid is only 24 today so his future is still bright.

Van Montgomery matched wits with Barbara Jean on the show. He got Reba’s daughter pregnant and later moved in with the family when he was thrown out of his own house. The show’s star and the football player become very close.

Howey burst out of any notion of typecasting after wrapping the show. These days he’s anything but a dolt, with his best role post-show being as Kevin in Shameless since 2011. He’s now married to actress Sarah Shahi and together the couple have three kids.

As a character, Cheyenne enjoyed the largest arc. She gets pregnant as a senior in high school, marries, tries to become a dentist, realizes she’s an alcoholic and decides to help others with addiction by the end. While at times selfish, fans grew to love the big, caring heart beneath the surface.

Joanna Garcia added the Swisher when she married MLB star Nick Swisher in 2010, but she’s also remained very busy in film and television, starring as the lead role in two-short lived programs and earning recurring roles on several others. Most recently she was on Kevin (Probably) Saves the World on ABC.

Reba’s second daughter Kyra has a quick wit like her mother, which is a great source of humor and perhaps some hurt feelings. The middle child is also a child with challenges, and she disappeared completely for most of the fifth season. There was a real-life reason for that …

Reba was Pomers’ last television role, but she tried music as frontwoman for the Scarlett Pomers Band for awhile after the show (the Facebook page was last updated in 2014). Sadly she battled an eating disorder while on the show. The depth of her battle with anorexia came out only after the show was through. It’s something she was treated for when she was 16.
