“Night Court” is getting a reboot on NBC.
The revamped series will star Melissa Rauch and John Larroquette, according to Deadline. The comedy will reportedly be similar to the 1984 original, which aired for nine seasons.
Larroquette reprises his role as nighttime prosecutor Daniel “Dan” Fielding while Rauch will executive produce and star as an all-new original character named Abby Stone.

However, Rauch’s character will reportedly be the daughter of Judge Harold “Harry” Stone, who was played by the late Harry Anderson (1952 to 2018). As the legacy character for the Stones, Rauch’s character will serve as a nighttime judge at the Manhattan arraignment court much like her scripted father, Deadline reports.
