Happy’s Place is staying open on NBC. The Peacock Network has ordered additional episodes for the freshman comedy series’ first season. This news comes only a week after the network ordered additional scripts to be produced to keep the writers’ room open and running.

Reba McEntire, Melissa Peterman, Belissa Escobedo, Pablo Castelblanco, Tokala Black Elk, and Rex Linn star in the Happy’s Place comedy, which follows Bobbie (McEntire) after she inherits her father’s bar and learns she is to run it with the half-sister she never knew she had.

The new order adds five episodes to the season one count, meaning viewers will see 18 total episodes of Happy’s Place this season.

NBC revealed that 14 million viewers watched the series premiere across all platforms, and the series has improved its timeslot by +88% in the 18-49 demo.

Happy’s Place currently airs on Friday nights on NBC, paired with episodes of Lopez Vs Lopez.
