Christopher Rich, known for his role as Brock Hart on the popular sitcom “Reba,” recently sat down for an exclusive interview to discuss where he believes his character would be now. The actor, who recently made a guest appearance on Reba McEntire’s NBC comedy show “Happy’s Place,” reflected on the fate of his character from the beloved WB series in 2025.
According to Rich, his character Brock Hart is still navigating the complicated dynamics between his ex-wife Reba and his second wife Barbra Jean. The 71-year-old actor shared his insights on how Brock would be in 2025, suggesting that despite the challenges, he remains close to his blended family.

Rich further speculated that Reba and Barbra Jean may have developed a closer friendship over the years, despite the inevitable moments of driving each other crazy. He emphasised the strong family connection that would keep Brock close to Reba, especially considering their shared son, Henry.

While there is no official news of a “Reba” reboot, Rich expressed his enthusiasm for the possibility of a reunion. The veteran actor revealed that he has been advocating for a return of the show in some form for years. He even pitched the idea of a made-for-TV movie titled “The Harts Go on Vacation,” envisioning a fun and chaotic storyline set on a cruise ship.
Although a “Reba” reboot is not in the works, fans can still enjoy reunions of the show’s cast on McEntire’s current show, “Happy’s Place.” Notably, the first season of the show has already featured appearances by both McEntire and Peterman, offering glimpses of the beloved Reba ensemble.
Rich expressed his willingness to reprise his role as Maverick, the tattoo artist and stroke survivor, on “Happy’s Place.” He even jokingly entertained the idea of getting involved in the characters’ drama once again, proposing to play the father of Peterman’s character’s child on the show.
“Happy’s Place” airs on NBC on Fridays at 8 p.m. ET, providing fans with a chance to catch up on the latest adventures of McEntire and her co-stars. While a “Reba” reunion may not be on the immediate horizon, the spirit of the show lives on through these mini-reunions and the enduring popularity of the original series.
As fans look back on the legacy of “Reba” and eagerly await any potential reboots or reunions, Christopher Rich’s reflections offer a glimpse into where his character Brock Hart might be today. With his insights and fond memories of the show, Rich keeps the spirit of “Reba” alive for fans both old and new.
