All Rise! The Night Court reboot will premiere on NBC next year

It was announced late last year that a revival of NBC’s Night Court was in development and it seems that court will be in session early next year. NBC laid out their midseason schedule today, which will find the premiere of the first two episodes of the Night Court reboot landing on January 17, 2023.

The new incarnation of Night Court got off the ground thanks to The Big Bang Theory‘s Melissa Rauch, who was a big fan of the original series. Rauch not only stars in the series but also serves as an executive producer as well. John Larroquette is slated to return as Dan Fielding and will be starring alongside Rauch. The new Night Court series will revolve around “unapologetic optimist judge Abby Stone (Rauch), the daughter of the late Harry Stone, who 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 (Larroquette).” In addition to Melissa Rauch and John Larroquette, Night Court also stars India de Beaufort, Kapil Talwalkar, and Lacretta.

Also on NBC’s midseason schedule is the latest season of Magnum, P.I., which the network picked up after it was cancelled by CBS. “We can’t wait to share these terrific new series with our audience,” said Susan Rovner, Chairman, Entertainment Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “Found, from Greg Berlanti and Nkechi Okoro Carroll, is a stellar addition to our drama lineup while Magnum, P.I. comes to us with a passionate fanbase already in place that we intend to nourish. On the comedy side, having John Larroquette and Melissa Rauch co-star in an updated Night Court is a dream come true, and our critically acclaimed comedy American Auto is back with its hilarious and ironic look at corporate America. Add AGT: All-Stars to that mix and it’s a great start to the new year.
