Fans Counting Down the Days After Reba McEntire’s Happy Announcement

 

Fans of “The Voice” coach Reba McEntire have something to cheer about, as her latest project has officially been renewed for a second season.

However, there is a catch: the highly anticipated return won’t be happening as soon as many of her fans were hoping.


‘Happy’s Place’ Returning for Season 2

NBC has announced that “Happy’s Place” will be returning to the network for season 2. However, when Deadline shared the network’s full fall schedule, fans noticed something a little off.

Deadline said that “Happy’s Place” will continue to air on Friday nights. The show will also be a key component of a Friday night comedy block in primetime, like it did during season 1 when airing with “Lopez vs. Lopez.”

Unfortunately, season 2 of “Happy’s Place” will be making its debut later than expected. NBC announced it won’t be included in the first wave of the network’s fall shows. Instead, season 2 will premiere on November 7.

As far as the fall 2025 schedule goes for NBC, shows like “The Voice,” the “Law & Order” franchise, and the “Chicago” franchise will all premiere between September 22 and October 1.

When season 2 of “Happy’s Place” initially premieres on November 7, NBC will air back-to-back new episodes. However, the network will eventually fill the timeslot after “Happy’s Place” with one of NBC’s new series, either “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins” or “Stumble.” Both of those shows are expected to premiere in December 2025 or January 2026.


‘Happy’s Place’ Cast Starts the Countdown

After the announcement of the season 2 premiere date, NBC shared a teaser for the return on Instagram. The caption read, “Counting down the days ⏳ #HappysPlace returns on Nov 7.” The new episodes will air on both NBC and Peacock.

In the video, the “Happy’s Place” cast can be seen asking, “How many days until the premiere?” The video then switches over to McEntire, who responds, “102.” It pans back to the rest of the cast, who reply, “Oh, that’s not bad.”

Reba also made her way into the comments on NBC’s post, saying, “The countdown is on!”

While the cast seems super excited about the return of the show, fans were also showing their love in the comments. One person wrote, “You are so cute together 😍🔥 I’m rewatching Season One, excited for the new season 😍.”

While others said the wait was too long and they missed the cast, another person said, “Can’t wait!! I love the show and all of the cast.”

Catch Reba back on “Happy’s Place” on November 7 at 8/7c on NBC. You can also catch her on “The Voice” season 28 this fall on NBC, premiering on September 22 at 8/7c.
