NIGHT COURT Gets a Season 2 Renewal at NBC
The NBC reimagining of the hit ‘80s series Night Court has gotten a Season 2 renewal at the network. The series, which welcomes back original star of the show David Larroquette, also stars The Big Bang Theory’s Melissa Rauch, Ana Villafañe (Younger), Lacretta (Second Act), and Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist‘s Kapil Talwalkar.
The new Night Court follows judge Abby Stone (Melissa Rauch), the daughter of the late Harry Stone, as she follows in her father’s footsteps presiding over the night shift of a Manhattan arraignment court. Throughout Season 1, she tries to bring order to its crew of oddballs and cynics, most notably former night court prosecutor Dan Fielding (John Laroquette).
In response to the season 2 renewal, Lisa Katz, President, Scripted Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming said:
“It’s so rewarding to have audiences respond and return to a show in which they have such incredibly warm feelings, and, more broadly, it’s testament to how broadcast is still a huge driver of communal viewing. A huge thank you to our studio partners, a wonderful cast, incredibly talented writers and producers, and a crew that has transformed a lower Manhattan courtroom into a true family.”
Channing Dungey, Chairman and CEO, Warner Bros. Television Group, added:
“The verdict is in and the ‘new-boot’ of Night Court is a hit! The series’ razor-sharp humor makes the show a weekly must-watch. We’re overjoyed that court will remain in session and return with new cases for season two. We’re so grateful to our colleagues at NBC, to the richly talented creative team led by Melissa Rauch, Winston Rauch, Dan Rubin, and John Larroquette, and to the stellar ensemble cast.”
The series has a lot of heart, and I have been enjoying it. Are you looking forward to the show’s upcoming episodes and Season 2?
