There is no word yet on whether Lopez vs Lopez, which also had an initial order of thirteen episodes and was said to have had three new scripts ordered, has also been extended. Happy's Place reunites McEntire with her Reba co-star Melissa Peterman, as well as her Big Sky co-star and boyfriend Rex Linn.
