ABC Halloween 2024 Schedule; Reba Creates Happy's Place Theme Song

Throughout this month, ABC will air a ghostly lineup of Halloween-themed episodes and festive films, including spine-tingling new episodes of 9-1-1, Abbott Elementary, AFV, Press Your Luck, Dancing with the Stars and Doctor Odyssey, and broadcast television debuts of fan favorites Haunted Mansion (2023) and Hocus Pocus 2. On Abbot Elementary on October 27, it's Halloween at Abbott Elementary! Janine and Gregory proudly show off their couple’s costume, but it fails to translate. Meanwhile, Barbara faces pushback from parents concerned about hygiene and her beloved apple-bobbing tradition.
Adding a new song to her Country Hall of Fame resume and for her millions of fans to enjoy, entertainment icon Reba McEntire has teamed up with renowned songwriter Carole King and written the show's theme song for her upcoming new NBC comedy, Happy's Place. The song, released by MCA Nashville, is available across all music platforms and will also debut on the Happy's Place series premiere, which is set for Friday October 18 at 8 p.m. Happy's Place will stream the next day on Peacock. Listen to the theme song from Happy's Place HERE.
The sitcom stars Reba McEntire as her character, Bobbie, inherits her father's tavern (Happy's Place) and is surprised to discover that she has a new business partner, Isabella, played by Belissa Escobedo, a twentysomething half-sister she never knew she had. The series also stars Melissa Peterman, Pablo Castelblanco, Tokala Black Elk and Rex Linn.
