Belissa Escobedo has found her happy(’s) place…
NBC has given a series order to Happy’s Place, starring the 25-year-old Latina actress and Reba McEntire.
The comedy sees McEntire play Bobbie, who inherits her father’s restaurant and is less than thrilled to discover that she has a new business partner in the half-sister she never knew she had.
In addition to McEntire and Escobedo, the multi-cam series also stars Melissa Peterman, Pablo Castelblanco, Tokala Black Elk and Rex Linn.
Writer Kevin Abbott executive produces with Michael Hanel, Mindy Schultheis, Julie Abbott and McEntire.
It’s produced by Universal Television.
Happy’s Place, which reunites McEntire with members of her Reba team, was the first pilot of the season to be ordered, in January.
Escobedo’s previous credits include Blue Beetle, Hocus Pocus 2, The Baker and the Beauty and American Horror Stories.
