In January 2023, fans of the hit '80s sitcom Night Court were thrilled to hear the news that NBC was rebooting the show. The storyline picked up right where the original series left off, ushering in a whole new era for the characters of the Manhattan Criminal Court.
Set three decades after the first iteration's series finale, the new Night Court centered around Abby Stone (Melissa Rauch), daughter of the late Harry Stone, who takes over her father's job as a judge on the night shift. Filled with hijinks, hilarity and a whole lot of heart, the Night Court reboot has pulled on the heartstrings of fans young and old.
