Happy’s Place has been a smash hit for NBC and is now in its second season. So, why has it vanished from the schedule, and will it return? Moreover, are viewers aware that this has happened? Keep reading for all of the details that are known about the Reba McEntire sitcom.
Happy’s Place Taken Off Schedule
Fans have gone crazy for the Reba McEntire sitcom, Happy’s Place. It has reunited Reba with her former co-star, Melissa Peterman, and teamed her up with her fiancé, Rex Linn. They have incredible chemistry, and viewers have fallen in love with the characters. Moreover, they love the cast and the way they have all so seamlessly connected. It was a bonus when Reba’s character, Bobbie, finally got together with Emmett, who was played by Rex. They had a very playful attraction, and by Season 2, things heated up, but sadly, they just fizzled out.
The hook for the show was that Bobbie had a half-sister, Isabella, whom she never knew about. As it turned out, Rex knew about Isabella all along, leaving Bobbie betrayed. Although there is hope that they may reconnect, fans will have to wait as Happy’s Place will not air for some time. The reason for this is that the Olympics will begin on Friday, February 6th. They will last all of February, meaning some programming will be preempted, and this is one of the casualties.
As of now, it is unclear if viewers are aware that the Olympics will be taking over the timeslot for the next several weeks. However, the show will be back on Friday, February 27th, or at least that is when it is expected to return. For those who will miss Happy’s Place, all of the episodes that have already aired are streaming on Peacock. Additionally, Reba is streaming on Hulu for those who cannot get enough of the McAlester, Oklahoma, redhead.
