Fans of the classic early 2000s series Reba will soon get a taste of the good old days thanks to a new sitcom coming to NBC whose pilot will feature Reba McEntire and Melissa Peterman reuniting on the small screen. In the plot of Reba, Peterman played "the other woman," Barbara Jean Hart, who had an affair with the husband of Reba's character. Here, their dynamic will be rather different. After six seasons together on Reba, which ended in 2007, Peterman and McEntire will play restaurant staff contending with a change in ownership and family secrets transforming life entirely.

This business partner is a half-sister she's never heard of. RELATED: Was The Bond Between Reba McEntire And Loretta Lynn That Of Friendship Or Family? As for Peterman, she's Gabby, a bartender at that same restaurant who, for all her theatrics, would have loved to be in the position of Bobbie's long-lost sibling. "She is a bit needy and dramatic and would have loved to be Bobbie’s sister," the official description reveals. The series will also feature Belissa Escobedo of Hocus Pocus 2 fame playing the surprise sister Isabella. She is "thrilled to start working at the tavern and is full of ‘great’ ideas about how to bring it to life." She'll be bringing her experience as a psychology student everywhere she goes, the better to not miss a chance to psychoanalyze people.

"She’s always trying to break me and she does it a lot." Their antics never stop, even when the cameras do. "We love to act together, we love to hang out together. We rented a house and all of us we’re in the house together — my bunch and Melissa — and it was just the best. I had the most wonderful experience getting to shoot this movie."
