‘Night Court’ Sequel Pilot Ordered At NBC
NBC has ordered a
Night Court sequel series pilot starring Melissa Rauch and John Larroquette. The classic legal comedy, which takes place in a Manhattan municipal court, returns with Emmy Award-winning Larroquette in the role of prosecutor Daniel R. “Dan” Fielding.
The new series will focus on the same Manhattan court, many years after the original show took place.
Night Court ran from 1984 to 1992, starring Harry Anderson as young judge Harold “Harry” T. Stone. The upcoming pilot will be centered around Harry's daughter Abby Stone (Rauch), a judge with a refreshingly positive outlook.
