Its official..
Night Court is officially in session.
NBC has handed the follow-up to the classic legal sitcom a series order.
Deadline revealed that the multi-camera comedy, which comes from Outmatched and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt co-EP Dan Rubin and The Big Bang Theory’s Melissa Rauch, was in the works in December. It scored a pilot order in May and will now make it to screens.
Based on the original series created by Reinhold Weege, the multi-camera Night Court centers on 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, with Larroquette reprising his role.
Melissa Rauch and Winston Rauch exec produce via their After January production company with Rubin, who write the pilot, also exec producing. Larroquette is a producer on the half-hour laugher, which comes from Warner Bros. Television, Universal Television and After January.
The pilot, which was directed and exec produced by Pamela Fryman, also stars Ana Villafañe (Younger), Lacretta and Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist‘s Kapil Talwalkar.
It marks the first post-Big Bang Theory TV role for Rauch, who has been the driving force behind the reboot and approached Warner Bros. Television, where she is under a deal, about the Night Court IP.
It’s not clear whether Night Court will air midseason in the 2021/22 broadcast season or in the 2022/23 season. Susan Rovner, Chairman, Entertainment Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, said back in May that its pilot pick-ups may air 2021/22 midseason or roll over to the next season.
Night Court joins drama series The Endgame starring Morena Baccarin and Ryan Michelle Bathe, which also received a series order earlier this week.

Good luck to them
Wonder how they are going to address all the very recent deaths of that original legendary core cast?
Probably a caption at the end of the premiere saying"For Harry,Charles and Markie."
they gonna need to do more than that.
I'll guess one of the characters who is Black may be a relative of either Mac or Roz..
Yeah perfect way to cast a fly afro asian girl as the new clerk
They should keep Dan as Dan though
Great way to have a modern Archie Bunker type
Looking back they tackled race, LGBTQ, gender norms, sexist behavior etc very comfortably way back on prime time NBC.
Yet another example of how we continue to let these kids rewrite our history as being so out of touch back then
When it is not as true as they try to flip it.

I assume she may be the new baliff..
Got to agree.
Nfortunate because I still love the original. Don’t think this new one will get a young viewership.
Exactly! Its not appealing to me at all... i would have to be extremely bored to watch it when there is more entertaining shows on tv...but hey i dunno..some shows i think shouldnt make it n people eat it up...
No familiar theme music.. probably also wont have the pimpslap at the end 
Tax write off coming up for this failed reboot
The very inherent problem with any 80's or 90's reboot is that what made the original shows successful was that it was a reflection or representation of the era or times when the show was being aired on television. So you can't duplicate that magic or recreate an era in history in modern times.
Married with Children is the perfect example. I don't think there is any episode in that shows run that would be able to get air play in today's hypersensitive culture or climate we live in.

Wonder if theyre still planning to do that animated reboot...
No one asked for NBC's 'Night Court' revival, but it's actually okay
NBC's revival of 'Night Court,' starring Melissa Rauch as the daughter of Judge Harry Stone, is unnecessary but actually okay. Read our review.

John Larroquette Opens Up About Returning to Night Court After 30 Years
In an interview with TV Insider, John Larroquette talks about returning to "Night Court" after 30 years. On NBC's new show he plays his iconic character, Dan Fielding.
The eternally optimistic Abby Stone follows in the footsteps of her revered late father, Judge Harry Stone, as she takes on the challenge of overseeing the night shift of a Manhattan arraignment 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 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.
They both must contend with Olivia, the court's officious assistant district attorney. Driven and ambitious, she views the night court as a stepping stone on her way to bigger things. Neil is the court's neurotic clerk who loved that his job came with low expectations - that is, until a new idealistic judge showed up looking to push him out of his comfort zone.
Rounding out the staff is Donna "Gurgs" Gurganos, the night court's sharp-witted bailiff. Gurgs takes her job very seriously and is fiercely protective of her night court colleagues.
From executive producer and writer Dan Rubin ("Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"), "Night Court" is based on the original hit series that ran for nine seasons on NBC. Melissa Rauch and Winston Rauch executive produce through After January Productions. Mona Garcea oversees for After January Productions and John Larroquette serves as a producer.
"Night Court" is produced by Rauch's After January Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
