Happy’s Place is now on a break for the rest of 2024 (but there is some good news)

by

As a die-hard fan of TV shows, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and anticipation as the year winds down and our favorite shows take a break. It’s like a bitter-sweet moment when you finish a good book or binge-watch an amazing series – you’re left wanting more, but at the same time, there’s this strange sense of satisfaction knowing that you’ve experienced something great.

At this seasonal point, numerous productions take their winter hiatuses. As for Happy’s Place, it has broadcasted its final episode of the year in 2024; however, here’s a cheerful update:

Indeed, you’re correct! There won’t be any fresh episodes of “Happy’s Place” airing in 2024. However, some good news to share: A rerun is scheduled for December 20th. This seems to indicate that NBC appreciates the series and encourages viewers to stay tuned. The episode will broadcast after the network shows “Shrek the Halls.

What about the return date, though? We have some great news about that.

Why is Happy’s Place now on a break?

It seems that even if NBC is content to air repeats of the show, there’s a pause in its production schedule. This is because during this season, all broadcasters temporarily halt the release of new episodes. The reason being, linear viewership decreases at this time of year. It’s not worth jeopardizing a series’ future when a break could be an option instead.

This arrangement also facilitates scheduling, as even after adding the additional episodes of “Happy’s Place,” there are still more empty slots in the regular September to May timetable. Consequently, breaks are necessary, and an extended one during Christmas and New Year aids in providing those breaks.

When will Happy’s Place return with new episodes?

Fans eagerly anticipating the return of Reba McIntyre’s new series don’t have long to wait – it’s set to make its comeback as early as 2025, making it the first show returning that year. The highly anticipated “Happy’s Place” will air on Friday, January 3rd at 8/7c on NBC. Following this, fresh episodes of “Lopez vs. Lopez” and “Dateline” will air, restoring a familiar Friday night schedule for viewers.

Compared to many other shows on NBC and various networks, this one has a relatively brief hiatus, spanning just three weeks. Frankly, it’s hard to find much to complain about with such a short break!

Will Happy’s Place be renewed for season 2?

As the season progresses, we start wondering if our preferred TV series will be axed or given another chance. NBC usually doesn’t announce major decisions this early unless a show has gained unexpected popularity in a short time. Consequently, it’s not uncommon to wait for the renewal news at this stage.

I’m looking forward to the possibility of a second season for “Happy’s Place”. As per “TV Series Finale”, this comedy ranks third among genres on the network, trailing only “St. Denis Medical” and itself. In terms of all scripted shows, it holds the eighth position. These ratings are based on the demo, a number that most broadcast networks focus on.

On Fridays, achieving such a lofty position is quite impressive. Clearly, NBC would be delighted for it to continue!

Happy’s Place returns on Friday, Jan. 3 at 8/7c on NBC. Catch up on the series on Peacock.
