Great news - Reba‘s new comedy series “Malibu Country” has officially been picked up by ABC.
In February, we learned that the network had ordered the series pilot, and this week, the network officially announced that the series had been given the green light.
“Congrats to everyone associated with “Malibu Country! We got picked up,” Reba tweeted after hearing the good news. “We’re going to have so much fun! Can’t wait to get to work!”
The multi-talented superstar is set to star in the series alongside Lily Tomlin, Sara Rue, Julietta Angelo, Justin Prentice, Jai Rodriguez, and Owen Teague.
“Malibu Country” tells the story of a divorced mom of three who moves from Nashville to Malibu in order to reignite her singing career despite the “materialistic and rarified Malibu world she now calls home.”
On May 11, 2012, ABC placed a series order for the comedy. It is expected to premiere during the 2012–13 television season.
