Former
The Big Bang Theory cast member Melissa Rauch is heading back to TV with a new lead role.
The star is set to appear in a reboot of the legal sitcom,
Night Court.
Deadline broke the news, whilst also confirming that original star John Larroquette is reprising his character Reinhold Daniel Fielding Elmore.
Night Court aired on NBC between 1984 and '92. It centred on the night shifts at a Manhattan municipal court, led by Harry Anderson's unorthodox judge Harold 'Harry' T Stone.
