Reba McEntire says she and the ‘Reba’ cast have been ‘trying hard’ to get a reboot of the hit sitcom off the ground
Reba McEntire revealed in a recent interview that she “really” wants to reboot her hit sitcom “Reba,” which ran from 2001 to 2007 on the WB and the CW.
“We’ve really been trying hard to do a reboot of the ‘Reba’ show,” the country singer said during her Friday appearance on iHeart Radio’s “The Bobby Bones Show” (around the 8:38 mark in the video below).
“I really want to work with the people that I got to work with during that six and a half years,” she added.
McEntire starred on the popular comedy series as Reba Hart, a hardworking mother whose life is upended in the first season after her husband, Brock Enroll Hart (Christopher Rich), leaves her for his younger (and pregnant) dental hygienist, Barbara Jean (Melissa Peterman). Further complicating matters are the Harts’ children: pregnant high school senior Cheyenne (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), sarcastic middle child Kyra (Scarlett Pomers), and Jake (Mitch Holleman), the youngest.
In the iHeart Radio interview, McEntire had nothing but praise for her former costars during the sitcom’s six-season run.
“It was fun — the cast, the crew, everybody we got to work with and play with, they were wonderful people,” the singer said, adding: “We wanted to get back together like a reunion and have fun, so hopefully that will happen one day.”
Garcia Swisher, who played McEntire’s eldest daughter on the show, also recently opened up about her thoughts on a reboot and working with the “I’m a Survivor” singer again.
“She’s so powerful because she walks the walk. I get so excited when people ask me how she is. I’ll happily go on glowingly about this woman. She’s so strong even in uncertain moments, and she’s super grateful and gracious and kind,” Garcia Swisher said of McEntire during an interview on “The Art of Kindness” podcast, per People.
The actress added that she would “love” to do a reboot of “Reba.”
