One of Reba’s former co-stars is also on the sitcom! Melissa Peterman plays Sheldon’s neighbor Brenda Sparks on the show. They previously starred in the comedy Reba together. Sadly, the two will not act together on this show. It seems like a missed opportunity for a fun reunion!

No word yet on how many Young Sheldon episodes Reba may appear in, but it appears she may only be in one episode right now. The show is currently on its third season but has already been renewed for a fourth.
The show announced the guest star on Instagram. Her photo was captioned, “We’re feeling Fancy—the one-and-only @Reba McEntire will be joining us as a guest star in an upcoming episode of #YoungSheldon!”
