Aside from being a great singer in the country music industry, Reba McEntire was also applauded for her acting skills, as she has a few credits. One of her most unforgettable roles was June Ballard on the television series "Young Sheldon."
More recently, one of the show's producers, Steve Holland, expressed his desire for the legendary musician to return and reprise her character.
According to TV Line, the producer wanted McEntire to play the role of June Ballard again for the final time, as the show is in its last season.
"We would love to have her back," he said. He further explained that the singer herself wanted to return and play the role again; however, there were some issues with her work.
"She's expressed interest, but she's very busy. She has another [sitcom] pilot that she's shooting...so I just don't know if it's going to work out," he added.
As of this writing, it's still unclear if Reba McEntire will reprise her role for the show before the final season ends.
