“Night Court” will be back in session for a third season, NBC announced on Friday.
The series stars Melissa Rauch in a follow-up to the 1984-1992 original, where she plays the eternally optimistic Abby Stone, who takes on the challenging role previously held by her revered late father, Judge Harry Stone (played by the late Harry Anderson), overseeing the night shift of a Manhattan arraignment court.
Currently ranked as the network’s most-watched and highest-rated comedy series, the second season, executive produced by Rauch, Dan Rubin, Winston Rauch and John Larroquette, has amassed 24 million total viewers across linear and digital platforms to date.
In addition to Rauch, “Night Court” also stars John Larroquette, who reprises his role as former night court district attorney Dan Fielding when Abby asks him to serve as the court’s public defender. Still exceedingly self-confident, Fielding must adjust to a new boss and a new job – defending the downtrodden.

It’s official — Night Court will be returning for a third season on NBC.
The renewal of the comedy sequel headlined by Melissa Rauch, who also executive produces, and the original series’ John Larroquette, was never in doubt. As Deadline reported earlier this week, the delay was caused by NBC and producing studio Warner Bros. TV going back-and-forth on the size of the order. Season 3 will ultimately consist of 18 episodes, I hear.
The contract for the series is believed to stipulate 22-episode seasons while NBC asked for a 18-episode third season, sources said. Because the sitcom, a followup to the 1984 NBC sitcom, launched in midseason 2023, its first season counted 16 episodes. Its second season, whose production was interrupted by the strikes, was comprised of 13 episodes, in line of the rest of NBC’s popular scripted series this season. Its season finale aired March 26.
Except for CBS, which still does 22 episodes of its established shows,...

The verdict is in! Melissa Rauch is not guilty of suffering from “the Seinfeld Curse” (if you believe in such things). She wrapped her part as Bernadette on The Big Bang Theory in 2019 and has followed it up nicely with a brand-new role – Judge Abby Stone on the revival of Night Court, now in its second season on NBC (and streaming the next day on Peacock). Rauch is joined on the series by her husband, Winston Rauch, her fellow executive producer on the sitcom made famous by the late Harry Anderson (Judge Harry Stone). TV Insider caught up with Winston for a one-on-one interview when a gaggle of TV critics and reporters were invited to visit the famous Warner Bros. Studios lot earlier this month. Winston chatted about why he took his wife’s surname when they wed, why a few familiar faces are returning to the show later this season,...

John Larroquette admits it was more than a little sad when he first walked on the set of the new Night Court.
Speaking with reporters Tuesday from the comedy’s set on the Warner Bros. lot, Larroquette recalled his state of mind when he decided to reprise his character, Dan Fielding, for the NBC reboot. “As we all know, out of all of the originally cast, I am literally the only one left on the door like Leo in Titanic, wondering if I would make it.”
“There was some sadness involved,” he continued about the reboot. “But the aliveness of these people around me made me it bittersweet and it became sweeter and sweeter. The heart of the show is in their hands. Melissa [Rauch] is running this boat well. I became sort of pleased with coming back. Still, sometimes, I am reminiscent. So much of my career was buoyed by this show.

The revival of Night Court on NBC has actress Melissa Rauch of The Big Bang Theory pick up the gavel at the courthouse as the daughter of Harry Stone. In our review of the new show, Alex Maidy pointed out, “The reboot of Night Court comes from the production team of Melissa Rauch, her husband Winston Rauch, and John Larroquette. All three are avid fans of the original series and have an invested interest in making this series feel like a worthwhile successor to the sitcom without turning it into a woke recreation…Showrunner and writer Dan Rubin, a veteran of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Scrubs, keeps his staff on the ball with episodes that are as wacky as the original series and consistently feel like they could have been storylines thirty years ago.”

Night Court will remain in session on NBC.
NBC renewed the hit comedy for a second season today.
Although the ratings have dipped from the revival's premiere, they're still pretty impressive.
Night Court stars Melissa Rauch as unapologetic optimist judge Abby Stone, the daughter of the late Harry Stone.
Abby follows in her father’s footsteps as she presides over the night shift of a Manhattan arraignment court and tries to bring order to its crew of oddballs and cynics, most notably former night court prosecutor Dan Fielding.
Fielding is played by the always-impressive John Larroquette, offering significant laughs that haven't changed since the series' initial run.
In addition to Rauch and Larroquette, Night Court also features India de Beaufort, Kapil Talwalkar, and Lacretta.

The news came during NBCUniversal’s presentation at the Television Critics Association’s winter 2023 press tour, where star and executive producer Melissa Rauch called “Night Court” a “newboot” of the original, which ran on NBC from 1984 to 1992 and starred Harry Anderson as judge Harry T. Stone.
Along with announcing the new guest stars, with character details yet to be announced, producers said during the “Night Court” panel that they would be open to bringing back Richard Moll and Marsha Warfield. Moll and Warfield are the only living cast members from the original series besides John Laroquette, who reprises his role in the revival.

Laughter erupted on Warner Bros.’ Burbank lot one night last August as a scene played out on the very familiar set of a courtroom and judge’s chamber. At the center of the mirth was another infinitely recognizable part of the action — now-silver-haired John Larroquette, bringing his iconic character, snarky lawyer Dan Fielding, back to life for the NBC revival of Night Court. “We knew we wanted John to be a part of [the show], and luckily he was open to it,” executive producer Winston Rauch says. “He won four Emmys in a row for Night Court.” What elicits Fielding’s (and the series’) return? Jovial judge Abby Stone (The Big Bang Theory’s Melissa Rauch), who moves to New York City to take over the wacky arraignment court once presided over by her now-deceased father (memorably played on the 1984-92 series by the late Harry Anderson). “Abby has a belief in...

Plot: The eternally optimistic Abby Stone follows in the footsteps of her revered late father, Judge Harry Stone, as she takes on the challenge of overseeing the night shift of a Manhattan arraignment court.
Review: NBC’s Night Court is the latest classic series getting the revival treatment. While we have recently been critical of many reboots, many of us at JoBlo.com are excited for this one, as the original Night Court holds a special place in our hearts. Initially running for nine seasons starting in 1984, Night Court boasted an excellent ensemble cast, including the late Harry Anderson and the late Markie Post. Revivals can be tricky, especially with multi-camera sitcoms, which look somewhat dated these days. Thankfully, I am happy to report that the new Night Court is a satisfying successor to the original comedy and boasts a bunch of new faces alongside returning star of the original, John Larroquette.

Chicago – She’s conquered television, and now it’s time for the movies. Melissa Rauch – also known as Bernadette on “The Big Bang Theory” – has created a new, uniquely voiced character named Hope Greggory. The character is a third placed, foul-mouthed Olympic gymnast in the new film “The Bronze.”
The film has an one-of-a-kind angle. Hope Greggory goes to the 2004 Olympics out of Amherst, Ohio, with the help of her Dad Stan (Gary Cole) and Coach Pavlek (Christine Abrahamsen). After a showy injury at the Games, she holds on to take the Bronze medal, and gets seemingly lifelong celebrity in her hometown. Fast forward to 2015 – the shine is off the medal, and a new gymnast sensation in town named Maggie (Haley Lu Richardson) is threatening to take Hope’s territory. Hope agrees to coach her, but can lightning strike twice?

Melissa Rauch may be getting a taste of pregnancy playing her character on The Big Bang Theory, but in real life, her baby is her new dark comedy The Bronze. Together with her husband, screenwriter Winston Beigel, she co-wrote the film about a former Olympic gymnast making her way back into the spotlight after she realizes a new, younger one is threatening her status. But perhaps the most intriguing scene of the movie is when her character has a raunchy and very acrobatic sex scene with another gymnastics coach played by The Martian's Sebastian Stan.
