Fall TV Preview 2025: Happy Place
Friday, Nov. 7, at 8/7c (NBC)
Whereas Season 1 was very much a story about two sisters just getting to know each other, executive producer Kevin Abbott says Season 2 plays more like there are “three sisters,” with Melissa Peterman’s Gabby now just as essential to the NBC comedy as Reba McEntire’s Bobbie and Belissa Escobedo’s Isabella.
“You’ve got Bobbie, the oldest… you’ve got Isabella, the baby… and then you’ve got Gabby, the middle daughter, who is just constantly seeking attention from one of them.”
Meanwhile, Season 2 will kick off with the discovery that Emmett has been keeping a huge secret from Bobbie. Fans have theorized that he knew about Isabella and chose not to tell her out of respect for Happy — but Abbott isn’t about to say whether that prediction is right or wrong.
“I will just say that our audience is pretty well in tune with our show,” he says. “I’m not confirming or denying it, but that’s a really interesting idea.”
What he will divulge is that viewers will know sooner rather than later whether Bobbie and Emmett decide to give romance a shot.
“Things move a little bit faster than one might expect.”
BONUS SPOILER!:
“We just shot [a bottle episode] called ‘Mouse in the House,'” Abbott reveals — and yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like.
“It’s a real romp, and I’m looking forward to the audience seeing that one. It’s not really part of the Season 2 arc. We just went out there and had a great time.”
