Melissa Rauch, John Larroquette, Night Court, NBC

“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. And, beneath his arrogant demeanor, there is an empathetic side to Fielding that Abby is determined to unearth.

According to a logline, “Night Court,” Abby always sees the best in people and her passion for justice is undeniable. In her quest to bring order and dignity to the court and reign in its colorful crew of oddballs, she enlists former night court district attorney Dan Fielding (John Larroquette) 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. And, beneath his arrogant demeanor, there is an empathetic side to Fielding that Abby is determined to unearth.

NBC has reportedly ordered 18 episodes for the show’s third season, marking the longest episode order thus far for the series since its debut in January 2023. Season one had just 16 episodes, while season two, hampered by last year’s dual Hollywood strikes, only produced 13 episodes, with the season ending in March. 

Warner Bros. Television produces in association with After January Productions and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
