Plot Synopsis

In this reboot of the classic 1980s sitcom NIGHT COURT, 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 steppingstone 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" Gurganous, the night court's sharp-witted bailiff. Gurgs takes her job very seriously and is fiercely protective of her night court colleagues. NIGHT COURT premieres with back-to-back new episodes on Tuesday, January 17, 2023 from 8-9pm ET/PT on NBC.

On Saturday, December 23, 2023 at 8:30pm ET/PT, NBC premiered "A Night Court Before Christmas," a NIGHT COURT holiday episode. It's Christmastime at Night Court. Abby enlists Dan on her quest to track down a little girl's letter to Santa. Gurgs' gift for Dan isn't what she expected. Olivia is haunted by a witness who believes herself to be the Ghost of Christmas Present.

The sophomore season of NIGHT COURT debuted on Tuesday, January 2, 2024 at 8pm ET/PT on NBC, with Roz Russell (guest star Marsha Warfield) returning to Night Court in the season opener, "The Roz Affair." Dan helps Roz with an investigation that goes awry as they find themselves pleading their case in front of Abby. Gurgs regails the court with stories of her London adventures. Olivia tries to establish a side gig as a sports agent.

On Tuesday, November 19, 2024 at 8:30pm ET/PT, the third season of NIGHT COURT debuted on NBC. In the season opener, "The Judge's Boyfriend's Dad," suspecting Dan might be her boyfriend's father, Abby does some investigating. A blast from Dan's past resurfaces as the court's new prosecutor. Joining the cast as a series regular after appearing as a guest star in Seasons 1 & 2, Wendie Malick portrays Julianne Walters, who is now a prosecutor. Ryan Hansen guest stars as Jake, Abby's boyfriend, and Julia Duffy returns as Susan.
