Reba McEntire has teamed up with music legend and longtime friend Carole King to write the theme song for her new NBC comedy “Happy’s Place.” McEntire co-wrote the three-minute uptempo track with band member Doug Sisemore and King, with her live band credited with recording the track.
“Happy’s Place” stars Reba McEntire as her character, Bobbie, inherits her father’s tavern (Happy’s Place) and is surprised to discover that she has a new business partner, Isabella, played by Belissa Escobedo, a twentysomething half-sister she never knew she had. The series also stars Melissa Peterman, Pablo Castelblanco, Tokala Black Elk and Rex Linn.
McEntire shared in a press release: “I’m so happy for the opportunity to write the theme song for ‘Happy’s Place’ with my good friend, Carole King. It just doesn’t get much better than that! I hope my fans will love this song as much as they did the theme song for the ‘Reba’ show.”
The song will be available across all music platforms and debut simultaneously as the “Happy’s Place” series premieres on Friday, October 18 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The series will also be available to stream the next day on Peacock.
Additionally, McEntire can also be seen this fall as a coach on NBC’s Emmy-winning reality TV singing competition, “The Voice.”
