Night Court (1984–1992) |
Night Court is an American sitcom, a revival of the 1980s series that originally aired from 1984 to 1992. It premiered on NBC on January 17, 2023. It received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Melissa Rauch's performance.[1] In February 2023, the series was renewed for a second season,[2] which then premiered on December 23, 2023.[3][4]
Premise
Judge Abby Stone (Melissa Rauch) comes to New York City to take a job as magistrate for Manhattan Criminal Court's night shift – a position held by her late father Harry Stone. Also part of the night shift are ambitious prosecutor Olivia (India de Beaufort), cheerful and eccentric bailiff Donna "Gurgs" Gurganous (Lacretta), and public defender Dan Fielding (John Larroquette) – who had served as prosecutor in Harry's court, and was convinced by Abby to join her court when the assigned public defender quit on Abby's first day, eventually leaving to become a judge in his home state of Louisiana (though would later come back as public defender).
Cast
Main
- Melissa Rauch as Abby Stone,[5] the daughter of the late Harry Stone, who fills her father's former position as judge on the night shift at the Manhattan Criminal Court. In "Blood Moon Binga", she learns her full name is Abracadabra Stone, though she believed it was Abigail, the name she uses.
- India de Beaufort as Olivia,[5] the assistant district attorney assigned to Abby's court
- Kapil Talwalkar as Neil[5] (season 1)[6], Abby's clerk
- Lacretta as Donna "Gurgs" Gurganous,[5] the bailiff for Abby's court
- John Larroquette as Dan Fielding,[5] the former assistant district attorney for Harry's court and his best friend, who comes back to serve as the public defender in Abby's court, reprising his role from the original series. Formerly a sex-obsessed "ladies' man", Dan settled down in the mid 1990s marrying a woman named Sarah, who died shortly before the revival series began. Though giving up his skirt chasing ways, he does retain his sarcastic wit. At the end of the first season, Dan leaves Abby's court to become a judge in his home state of Louisiana, though returned both to New York and his public defender job at the start of the second season.
Recurring
- Pete Holmes as Rand, Abby's fiancé
- Gary Anthony Williams as Flobert,[6] an eccentric judge who substituted for Abby in her absence, and would later serve as clerk in Abby's court following Neil's departure.

Production
Development
On December 16, 2020, it was announced that Warner Bros. Television Studios and NBC were developing a Night Court sequel series. John Larroquette was slated to reprise his role as Dan Fielding, and produce the show. Melissa Rauch, who initiated the project, and her husband Winston Rauch were to be executive producers, for After January Productions. Dan Rubin would write the series, and be an executive producer as well.[8]
On May 3, 2021, the series was given a pilot order by NBC,[9][10] and on September 24, 2021, was given a series order.[11] The series premiered on January 17, 2023.[1] On February 2, 2023, NBC renewed the series for a second season,[2] which then premiered on December 23, 2023.[3][4]
Casting
Larroquette was already attached to the series when it was announced on December 16, 2020.[8] Although Rauch was not originally expected to act in the show,[8] on April 30, 2021, it was reported that she would play the leading role of Judge Abby Stone, the daughter of the original series character Harry Stone.[12]
In June 2021, Ana Villafañe joined the cast as Monica, an assistant district attorney, and Lacretta was cast as Donna "Gurgs" Gurganous, a court bailiff.[13][14] In July 2021, Kapil Talwalkar was cast as Neil, a court clerk.[15]
Villafañe left the series after shooting the original pilot. In March 2022, India de Beaufort was cast as Olivia, a prosecutor, in a "reimagining" of Villafañe's role, as a second pilot episode was then shot.[16] On December 28, 2023, it was announced that Kapil Talwalkar will not be returning for the second season.[6]

She returns to her previous demeanor. Meanwhile, Olivia struggles to adapt when the police officers withdraw the perks she had been enjoying.

Reception
Critical response
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 74% approval rating with an average rating of 6.5/10, based on 23 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "This revival retains enough of the original Night Court's spirit to ward off objections from fans while offering a somewhat stale sitcom format to newcomers, but it ought to sustain interest when judged alongside its own peers."[36] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 62 out of 100 based on 14 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[37]
William Hughes of The A.V. Club gave the series a B and said, "If you're curious about it, don't let the pilot throw you off, at least; check back in a few episodes later, once the show has actually hit its (often pretty funny) comedic stride."[38]
