Reba McEntire Returning To Series TV
Reba McEntire is set to executive produce and star in a new ABC comedy series, according to The Hollywood Reporter. In Malibu Country, McEntire will play a divorced mother of three who is trying to reignite her singing career in Malibu, Calif.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, The multi-camera comedy project, from ABC Studios, centers on Reba, who divorces her cheating husband and moves her family from Nashville to Malibu. There shell try to reignite her own singing career and keep herself and three kids from being corrupted by the materialistic and rarified Malibu world she now calls home.
The series has been sold as a put pilot at ABC. Trade magazine Variety defines a put pilot as, A deal to produce a pilot that includes substantial penalties if the pilot is not aired; a virtual guarantee that a pilot will be picked up.
McEntire previously starred in the WB (and later CW network) series Reba for six seasons (2001-2007), in which she also played a single mother of three who divorces her cheating husband.
Producers on the new show include McEntires husband and manager Narvel Blackstock and, oddly, former Eurythmics member Dave Stewart.

Sounds like the same premise as "Reba", but I loved that show so I might watch this one as well.
