She’s a survivor! Reba McEntire proved she is more than just a country superstar when she led her own TV show — appropriately called Reba.
The sitcom ran six seasons, from October 2001 through February 2007. McEntire starred as a single mother raising her three children — played by JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Scarlett Pomers Mitch Holleman — alongside her ex-husband (Christopher Rich) and his new wife (Melissa Peterman).
The cast has remained close in the years that have passed since the series ended. Swisher said in June 2019 that McEntire is her family. “She’s very much Auntie Reba,” the Sweet MagnoliasStar exclusively told Us WeeklyAt the time. “She spoils quite a bit. She doesn’t babysit because when I see her, I want to be with her.”
Swisher observed in February 2018 how the group is so close that they travel together. “We are all extremely close,” she told Use. “We talk all the time. Reba’s got a tight hold on her little brood because she makes sure we are all doing OK and taken care of. Melissa Peterman is a dear friend and a member of my family. We’re all just very close.”
The Gossip GirlAlum teased another possibility of a future. RebaThe revival was happening at the time. “I definitely think it’s possible and I think everybody would love to,” she said. “There is so much love there and such fond memories of our time on the show. I feel like we kind of ended before we really wanted to and I think there is a lot of goodwill in that world and I know everybody would be supportive of it.”
The cast would be joining the crew, and there have been discussions. “I know there has definitely been a lot of talk about it,” she divulged.
Where she thought she was going to be? Steve Howey’s characters, Cheyenne and Van, respectively, would be, she believed the high school sweethearts were going strong. “I think Van and Cheyenne would still be together and defy all odds in their own quirky way. But it takes a village and that village was really strong,” she explained. “They were the definition of a modern family. It was a real, supportive, loving family. We loved each other to the end, despite all the crazy that was going on in our lives. And I think that allows you to beat the odds.”
