What is 'Happy's Place'?
NBC's Happy's Place gives family its best shot, according to the network.
McEntire stars as Bobbie, "a tough but lovable woman who inherits her late father’s Tennessee tavern - only to discover that her new co-owner is also the half-sister she never knew she had! They couldn’t be more different, but they’ll navigate this new life together... because at Happy’s Place, everyone is family."
Season 2 of the show featured guest appearances from comedic legends like Christopher Lloyd, Carol Kane, and Saturday Night Live star Cheri Oteri.
"I sound so corny, but I tell people [that set] is literally the happiest place. I mean, it’s that title, I walked into the warmest, most supportive group of people..." Oteri told NBC Insider. "[The Happy's Place cast are] the nicest people in the world. It was such a pleasure... It’s like the whole place is having so much fun with everything, you just feel a part of this group, that you just feel lucky. Everybody’s having fun there. I’m telling you, walking onto that set is like you’re just walking into a big hug."
Episode 11 of the second season hits NBC on March 6.
