Country superstar Reba McEntire is coming to NBC where she will headline a
yet-untitled sitcom that has scored a pilot order for the network.
The 68-year-old country singer will team up once again with former “Reba”
showrunner Kevin Abbott, who will write the script for the project, according
to The Hollywood Reporter.
The music legend will also work with executive producers from “Reba,” Michael
Hanel and Mindy Schultheis, on the project, Deadline noted.
The series will reportedly center around the music legend whose character is
less than pleased to learn she has a half sister and a new business partner
after inheriting her father’s restaurant.

In addition to the previous team who worked on her popular WB/CW series
joining the show, Julie Abbott will also executive produce the new comedy,
Deadline noted.
McEntire’s “Reba” series debuted in 2001 and ran for six seasons. The
hitmaker previously talked about the idea of rebooting the series with stars
such as Steve Howey, Christopher Rich, JoAnna Garcia, among others, E! News
noted.
“We talked about that a lot,” McEntire exclusively told the outlet in 2023.
“I don’t think that’s ever going to come to fruition, but maybe one of these
days.”
Last year, Reba added to her acting credits when she starred in the ABC
series “Big Sky.” She appeared in the series’ third season where she played
Sunny Barnes alongside real life boyfriend Rex Linn, Deadline noted.
The untitled “Reba” comedy is the first pilot order of NBC’s for the 2024
season which was greatly impacted by last year’s writers’ and actors’
strikes, THR noted.
NFL and Roc Nation recently dropped news — via posts on X — that this year’s
“Super Bowl LVIII Pregame Lineup” includes McEntire performing “The Star
Spangled Banner.”
The “Fancy” hitmaker later shared the news with her followers and wrote, “I’m
honored to be part of something as big and historic as the Super Bowl coming
to Las Vegas for the first time!”
Reba, a three-time Grammy Award winner, spoke to CBS Mornings about getting
the call to perform on the world’s biggest stage and admitted at first she
wanted to think about it. However, Linn spoke up immediately and said
excitedly, “Yes she’ll do it, absolutely.”
