News worthy: Country-music queen Reba McEntire released a humorous video featuring herself and Rex Linn that has the streets buzzing about Happy Place suddenly returning for a second season. The duo teased a little about the fate of their characters, building that tantalizingly vague air of secrecy that has fans pulling their hair and going crazy.

Reba starts the video by saying, “Hi, this is my boyfriend. He’s gonna tell you about the second seasons of Happy Place. You better listen and be nice.” The combination of funny threat had her followers in stitches, right in time for the fun-filled announcement! Rex Linn, who plays Emmett on the NBC sitcom, continued to discuss the fall premiere and promised that the storyline would be exciting. He half-jokingly references rumors that his character might finally be getting with Reba’s character Bobby: “I mean we don’t know that for a fact, but it would be great for Bobby,” and that sly smile alone sent the shippers into a frenzy.

The chemistry plays out in the performances, “OHMYGOODNESS…can’t wait!! I love how Emmett is concerned about Bobby’s well being… yes.. it would be good for Bobby if she got together with him!!” says a jubilant viewer, with the comments section filled with similar comments on the will-they-won’t-they dynamic that has captivated the audience.

Many fans call Happy Place “one of the best shows” currently airing on television, whereas some express dismay over the length of time until fall. “90 some days away is too long!” one impatient fan complained, gladly representing the feelings of much of the audience who binge-watched the first season. Joining the debate was an international audience, one of whom asked, “…can we see this in Europe?” Another indication of a growing interest in the show.

The announcement apparently triggered a lot of speculative casting talk as well. Suddenly one user offered, “Dollies and Hulk Hogan video marriage links up these two faces and similar personalities,” which… okay then? The internet will never cease to surprise. Now a bit more sober, other comments read, “Who is your dream guest star?” Somehow viewers are already entertaining the idea of a cameo.

Perhaps the connection between Reba and Rex is so ample that its relatability might be a powerful substance for their fans. Many called them “sweet couple,” and are lined with comments such as, “I just love these two together!!” Their real-life romance surely contributes to the believability of their fictional chums, which means a great deal to the loyal fans.

Several people are missing from a sight that many will undoubtedly point out. “I never saw the 1 st I want to but don t have the channel u r on” the very frustrated fan complains, while another says, “I wish I could watch this. We have no cable.” Such comments reflect the ongoing plight of content availability in the streaming era.

Given the success of Season 1 and the fuel this announcement is putting behind Season 2, Happy Place looks set for bigger things when it returns. The amalgamation of Reba’s star power and undeniable chemistry with Rex alongside the show’s heartwarming humor creates something utterly special, hence that one fan who said, “This show is really great!!! I hope Emmit and Bobbie do get together in the show. I’m so excited!!!” That just made the countdown to fall much more excruciating for the dedicated Happy Place audience.
