NBC’s Night Court will return for Season 2.
The comedy series centers on unapologetic optimist judge Abby Stone, 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.
Each episode sees Abby trying to bring order to its crew of oddballs and cynics, most notably former night court prosecutor Dan Fielding.
“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,” said Lisa Katz, President, Scripted Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming.
“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.”
Night Court stars Melissa Rauch, John Larroquette, India de Beaufort, Kapil Talwalkar and Lacretta.
The series was NBC’s number broadcast premiere of the 2022-23 season in both the 18-49 demo and total viewers, and also the number one premiere of the 2022-23 season on broadcast or cable in the 18-49 demo and total viewers.
Dan Rubin writes and executive produces. Melissa Rauch and Winston Rauch also executive produce. John Larroquette produces.
Night Court is produced by Warner Bros. Television in association with After January Productions and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
