How to Watch Happiness Season 2 on PBS
By American TV editorial team |
Happiness Season 2 premieres December 13, 2026, according to PBS. Check your local PBS schedule for the broadcast time: member stations set their own schedules, so the announcement does not establish one nationwide DIRECTV channel or time slot.
Our PBS on DIRECTV guide explains local station numbers. For another PBS program, see the Craft in America: Handwork guide.
What Happiness is about
The musical comedy follows Charlie Summers, a Broadway director who returns to New Zealand and finds himself back in his childhood bedroom. His mother, Gaye, draws him into the local community theater, where the performers' enthusiasm exceeds their professional experience. That contrast between Charlie's ambitions and the group's passion drives the show.

Find your PBS station on DIRECTV
Search the DIRECTV guide for Happiness, select the Season 2 episode and check that the station and date match. Set a series recording if your service supports it, then review the upcoming recordings. Local PBS scheduling can differ, so do not assume another city's airtime applies to your home.
Streaming on PBS
PBS identifies PBS.org and the PBS app as streaming options for Happiness. That show-level listing does not guarantee that every Season 2 episode is immediately available without a membership. Read the episode listing for release dates, geographic restrictions and any PBS Passport requirement before choosing how to watch.
