Reba McEntire and Rex Linn didn’t just ride the “Better Be Nice” trend; they turned it into a love-soaked TV bombshell. In a playful video, Reba introduces Rex as her boyfriend, then hands him the spotlight to confirm what fans were desperately hoping for: Happy’s Place is officially renewed for a second season, premiering November 7 on NBC.

Rex, who plays Emmett, gushes about the ratings, the reviews, and then slips in the line that sends the fandom into overdrive—hinting that Emmett and Reba’s character, Bobbie, might finally get together. With a joking warning about chasing viewers down with a spatula if they miss it, the couple’s real-life chemistry spills straight into their sitcom world. Surrounded by a vibrant ensemble cast and powered by a new theme song Reba co-wrote, Happy’s Place now feels less like a TV show and more like an invitation into their shared, chaotic, joyful universe.
