Reba McEntire is coming back to the small screen, y'all.
The country singer/actress' pilot "Malibu Country" has been picked up by ABC. The multi-camera comedy stars Reba as — surprise! — Reba, a Nashville mom whose rock-star husband leaves the family and takes most of their cash with him. She then moves with her three kids and mother to Malibu and tries to reignite her singing career while protecting her kids from the materialistic snares of their new environment.

The series re-pairs McEntire with her former "Reba" cohort Kevin Abbott, who wrote the pilot and is executive-producing along with McEntire, Mindy Schmultheis (who also executive-produced "Reba"), Michael Hamel, Pam Williams, Dave Stewart, and McEntire's husband and manager, Narvel Blackstock.
