"Garcia Swisher's role will make her one of a handful of former Reba cast members to cameo alongside McEntire and Peterman on the series, following first-season appearances from both Steve Howey and Christopher Rich. In her guest star appearance, Garcia Swisher will take on the role of Kenzie, a "local Knoxville influencer who has been hired to represent Happy's Place for their upcoming social media marketing campaign," much to "Bobbie's chagrin," according to a description from NBC."

"The casting news comes after Garcia Swisher and other Reba stars recently linked up for dinner. On Sept. 27, Peterman shared photos from the hangout featuring herself, McEntire, Garcia Swisher and Rich in a parking lot after grabbing a bite. The former castmates were joined by McEntire's fiancé, Rex Linn, and Rich's wife, Eva Halina Rich. "Dinner with friends is always good. Dinner with these friends is everything. #familyforever ❤️," Peterman, 54, captioned the snaps, as Garcia Swisher commented, "Goodness, i love you all so much ❤️.""

Season 2 kicks off in November. The series previously premiered in October 2024."
