Hear 'Survivor' Reba McEntire croon the theme song to her new show 'Happy's Place'

With the theme song to her eponymous 2001-2007 sitcom, Oklahoma native Reba McEntire memorably proclaimed "I'm a Survivor."

With the newly released theme to her upcoming series, the Country Music Hall of Famer is apparently hoping to viewers will feel at home — and feel the love.

The entertainment icon released the theme to "Happy's Place" Friday via MCA Nashville across all music platforms . The song debuted a week ahead of the premiere for her anticipated new comedy series: "Happy's Place" will bow 7 p.m. Oct. 18 on NBC.

The Chockie native teamed up with fellow entertainment icon and legendary songwriter Carole King to pen the "Happy's Place" theme.

“I’m so happy for the opportunity to write the theme song for 'Happy’s Place' with my good friend, Carole King,” said Reba in a statement. “It just doesn’t get much better than that! I hope my fans will love this song as much as they did the theme song for the “Reba” show."

The "Reba" theme "I'm a Survivor" has proven a surprisingly stalwart staple for the flame-haired hitmaker, continuing to inspire Internet memes and TikTok trends.

How is the new series putting Reba on NBC three times a week this fall?

Once "Happy's Place" debuts Oct. 18, can expect to see Reba on NBC at least three days a week this fall: The three-time Grammy Award winner is back as a coach on the Emmy Award-winning series "The Voice" after winning Season 25 in the spring. Reba is mentoring competitors on "The Voice" Season 26 alongside fellow returning coach (and Sooner State transplant) Gwen Stefani and coaching newcomers Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé .

Reba confirmed in a spring interview with The Oklahoman that filming was completed in April for the pilot episode of "Happy's Place," which will co-star Belissa Escobedo, Melissa Peterman , Pablo Castelblanco, Tokala Black Elk and Rex Linn .

The half-hour, multi-camera series is set to air at 7 p.m. Fridays on the network. It will lead off a new NBC comedy hour, followed by the Season 3 return of fan-favorite “Lopez vs. Lopez,” starring comedic actor George Lopez, at 7:30 p.m. Fridays. The newsmagazine “Dateline NBC” will cap the evening from 8 to 10 p.m. Fridays.

All new episodes will stream the next day on Peacock, along with the rest of NBC’s entertainment lineup.

What is Reba's new sitcom 'Happy's Place' about?

With "Happy's Place," Reba is now in the restaurant business on TV as well as in real life.

The new show stars Reba as Bobbie, who inherits her father’s Tennessee bar, Happy's Place, when he dies. Her character is less than thrilled when she learns she has a new business partner: the younger half-sister she never knew she had, played by "Blue Beetle" star Escobedo.

Peterman co-stars as Gabby, a longtime bartender at the tavern who wishes she was Bobbie’s sister, while Linn, Reba's actor boyfriend and fellow Oklahoman, plays a taciturn cook named Emmett.

"Yellowstone" actor Black Elk, a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe and a direct descendant of the Lakota holy man Black Elk, has been cast as a kindly waiter with handyman skills named Takoda. Castelblanco ("Alaska Daily") plays Steve, the restaurant's accountant who does his work at the bar and dislikes change.

Reba and Peterman became famously close friends when they co-starred in the still-beloved 2001-07 TV series "Reba." They made an uproarious appearance as presenters on last month's Primetime Emmy Awards, where their presence on the red carpet literally had Ayo Edebiri , an Emmy-winning star of the hit FX series "The Bear," squealing with delight.

That isn't the only "Reba" reunion happening on "Happy's Place," though "Reba" executive producers Kevin Abbott, Michael Hanel and Mindy Schultheis are back together for the new project alongside a new addition to the creative team, Julie Abbott.

Kevin Abbott also is the new series' writer, while Reba is listed among the executive producers.

"My crew, my producers and my showrunner, we've been working for a long time. Ever since 2006, when 'Reba' got canceled, we've been trying to find another story," Reba told The Oklahoman in a one-on-one interview behind the scenes at April's Western Heritage Awards in Oklahoma City.

"My showrunner Kevin Abbott, his wife, Julie, was the one that came up with this idea — and we ran with it. And NBC loved it enough for us to do a pilot, and we hope to find out real soon if we get to run forward a little further with it."

“Happy’s Place” is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.

Where in Oklahoma is Reba's real-life restaurant?

The "Reba" reunion on "Happy's Place" comes as McEntire's eponymous series, for which she was nominated for a 2004 Golden Globe for best actress in a musical or comedy TV series, remains a popular title.

All episodes of the six-season show are now streaming on Hulu , and the series debuted in the spring on Netflix .

Reba told The Oklahoman she hopes to bring her real-life experience to the new TV show: She opened in early 2023 her eponymous home-state restaurant Reba's Place in a 100-year-old building in downtown Atoka .

"I have a lot more knowledge about running a restaurant and a tavern than before, so, yeah, I think it'll help," said Reba , who grew up on an Atoka County ranch in nearby Chockie.
