Reba Coming to Hallmark Channel; HBO Max Announces Season 4 Roll-out of Search Party

The Hallmark Channel has acquired the rights to Reba. The sitcom will join the lineup on Monday, January 4 and air weekdays from 5-7am, replacing where I Love Lucy used to air before the Christmas movies started. Reba reruns have previously aired on Lifetime, TV Land and Freeform, and the series still airs on UPtv and CMT. Hallmark Channel in January will still air The Golden Girls from 7am-10am & 10pm-1am, while Frasier airs in the overnight from 1am-5am. Reba McEntire stars as the titular character in this smash sitcom about a single mom of three, navigating life in a Houston suburb. The series originally aired on The WB/The CW from 2001-2007.

Search Party

HBO Max announced season four of the Max Original Search Party premieres on Thursday, Jan. 14 with three episodes. The comedy thriller's ten-episode season continues with another three episodes on Jan. 21 and the final four episodes on Jan. 28. In Search Party season four, Dory (Alia Shawkat) is held prisoner by her psychotic stalker Chip (Cole Escola), who is determined to make Dory believe that they are best friends. Meanwhile, Portia (Meredith Hagner) is starring in a film about the trial, although not as herself; Elliott (John Early) has switched party lines to become a far-right conservative talk show host; and Drew (John Reynolds) is trying to escape his dark past by working as a costumed cast member in a theme park. As the friends begin to connect the dots that Dory might not be touring Europe as her faked social media suggests, they must decide whether to put their traumatic pasts behind them and once again become a search party - but this time, for Dory. Joining the show's stellar guest stars this season are Susan Sarandon, Busy Philipps, Ann Dowd, Griffin Dunne and Lillias White, as well as R.L. Stine in a cameo role.
