NBC’s so happy with Happy’s Place season one’s ratings that they’ve officially renewed the half-hour comedy for season two. Starring Reba McEntire, the popular comedy’s premiere episode has drawn in 17.6 million viewers since its premiere on October 18, 2024. The network reports the workplace comedy’s increased its Friday nights at 8pm ET/PT viewership year-over-year by 54%.
The season one cast includes Belissa Escobedo, Melissa Peterman, Pablo Castelblanco, Tokala Black Elk, and Rex Linn. NBC hasn’t confirmed if all series regulars will return for the second season, nor have they announced the number of season two episodes. In November, NBC upped the season one order by five, bringing the total to 18 episodes. The renewal announcement was released with four new episodes to go in the first season.
“Bobbie (McEntire) inherits her father’s tavern and is surprised to discover that she has a new business partner, Isabella (Escobedo), a twenty-something half-sister she never knew she had,” reads NBC’s synopsis.
The series was created by Kevin Abbott and Julie Abbott, with Kevin writing, executive producing, and serving as showrunner. Additional executive producers include Reba McEntire, Michael Hanel, Mindy Schultheis, Matt Berry, and Pamela Fryman.
According to NBC, Happy’s Place took the number two spot on Peacock’s list of NBC comedy launches. Only St. Denis Medical starring Wendi McLendon-Covey, David Alan Grier, and Allison Tolman did better. NBC renewed St. Denis Medical for season two on January 14, 2025.
