Reba McEntire is returning to the sitcom world, baby. NBC has given a pilot order to an untitled multi-camera comedy starring McEntire, who will also executive produce.
The show will naturally star McEntire as a woman 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.” Kevin Abbott is the writer and exec producer, while Michael Hanel, Mindy Schultheis and Julie Abbott are non-writing exec producers.
Most previously worked together on McEntire’s signature series for The WB, “Reba,” as well as her follow-up sitcom for ABC, “Malibu Country.” The multicam will be produced in-house by Universal Television.
