Reba says there’s more stories to tell
“We’d love to bring back the Reba TV show. We had a lot more topics to talk about, stories to tell,” the “Fancy” singer told People Magazine, adding that she’s having a “blast” as a special guest star on the show Young Sheldon.

The series will be based off of the book by the same name. The novel was adapted into a film in 1991, which stared Kathy Bates and Jessica Tandy as two present-day women reliving the past through stories and memories.
Most recently, Reba hosted the CMA Awards with fellow singer Darius Rucker. The duo were welcomed warmly as they paid tribute to another great year in country music with a socially distanced award show that featured limited guests and spaced out tables. The crowd also had masks on hand and didn’t mingle among themselves during the ceremony.
Only time will tell if Reba McEntire will be able to revive her beloved show, which has grown even more fans thanks to the re-runs that air on networks such as CMT.
