Reba to reunite with ‘Reba’ team on new NBC comedy pilot

Reba is reuniting with Kevin Abbott, Michael Hanel and Mindy Schultheis — all executive producers from her hit series Reba — to create a new comedy pilot for NBC in collaboration with Universal Television. In addition to the Reba team, Julie Abbott also executive produces.

In the as-yet-untitled multi-cam project, Reba (McEntire) 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.

This is the first official pilot order for the 2024 broadcast pilot season, which was impacted by the dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
