The workplace hysterics continue as Season 2 of Happy’s Place returns with a new episode tonight on NBC, featuring guest star Cheri Oteri.
Reba McEntire‘s Bobbie has been kept on her toes as she navigates the humorous highs and chaotic lows of running her Knoxville tavern, and she’s not the only one navigating exciting changes on Season 2 of Happy’s Place. Beloved bartender Gabby (Melissa Peterman) is making moves to become a mother, Isabella (Belissa Escobedo,) is doing some soul-searching while settling in among her loved ones, Steve (Pablo Castelblanco) and Takoda (Tokala Black Elk) have been doing their best to keep the bar running as smoothly as possible while Bobbie and head chef Emmett (Rex Linn) begin their love story.
Along the way, viewers have been treated to equal parts of hilarity and heart, a hallmark of McEntire’s sitcom charm. “You’ll just laugh, and then the next scene, it’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, my heart’s been torn out,'” McEntire shared in an interview with NBC Insider, calling Season 2 a “good emotional rollercoaster.”
“It’s just wonderful writing. Just love it. We can sink our teeth into it,” McEntire added.
