Reba McEntire and her Happy’s Place co-stars teamed up to sing one of the country legend’s biggest hits in a behind-the-scenes clip she shared on Instagram on Wednesday evening (September 17).
McEntire said she and her cast mates were “practicing for Karaoke night at Happy’s Place!” Together, the group sang McEntire’s classic early 90s anthem, “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia.” McEntire stars in the series as Bobbie, who “inherits a restaurant from her late father, then learns she must share ownership with a newly discovered half-sister, creating awkward tension between the two,” per the description on IMDb.
The cast also includes McEntire’s fiancé, Rex Linn (who recently hinted at a possible on-screen romance between their characters in the show’s upcoming second season), plus Belissa Escobedo, Pablo Castelblanco, Tokala Black Elk and fellow Reba star Melissa Peterman. NBC recently confirmed “three new hilarious characters” — played by Christopher Lloyd, Carol Kane and Cheri Oteri — will add “even more star power to the dynamite ensemble.”
“I’ve got to listen to the arc of the second season, and it’s gonna be good,” McEntire teased in an interview with iHeartCountry earlier this year. “And all of the characters – and I do call us ‘characters,’ the actors, we are characters in our own right. We’re so diversified that we bring to the table something in real life that I think comes through on the screen. …We love each other. We respect each other’s opinion on things, their individual lifestyle, their background, their heritage. It’s a fun family.”
The second season of Happy’s Place will premiere on November 7.
