Melissa Peterman Reunites With Reba McEntire in NBC Comedy Pilot

Melissa Peterman is set to reunite with Reba McEntire in a new NBC sitcom pilot.

Peterman, who played Barbra Jean on “Reba,” will star opposite her former costar in a new restaurant-set multicam comedy project, which will be executive produced by McEntire. She will also reunite with “Reba” EPs Mindy Schultheis, Michael Hanel, Kevin Abbott and Julie Abbott, all of whom serve as executive producers for the pilot. 

The official logline for the pilot is as follows: “Reba 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.”
