NBC‘s “Happy’s Place” continues to deliver the laughs Friday nights on television. The series takes place in a lively local bar filled with regulars that has a lot of comedy and heart. The type of show that seems to be less common these days. “Happy’s Place” has done well enough that, in a world filled with abrupt cancellations, it has earned a third season.

CATCHING UP WITH PABLO CASTELBLANCO

I had the opportunity to catch up with one of the stars of “Happy’s Place”, Pablo Castelblanco. He plays Steve in the series. In our conversations we talk about the importance of a series being able to breath for at least two seasons, and what that meant for his character. He shares with me how he thought the writers used more of his personality for this season and on. It was a fun chat that you can check out below!

Set against the backdrop of a lively local bar and its eclectic regulars, the series blends sharp humor with heartfelt moments, exploring family dynamics, second chances, and the chaos that comes with running a small-town business.
