Description
Court is back in session for the third season of NBC's "Night Court" revival.
The sitcom, originally airing on NBC for nine seasons from 1984-1992, took place during the night shift of a New York criminal court, presided over by Judge Harry Stone (Harry Anderson).
"We come into Season 3 following up on a cliffhanger during the end of Season 2, where we find out if Jake, who is dating Abby, is Dan Fielding's son," said Melissa Rauch ("The Big Bang Theory," "The Bronze"), who plays Judge Abby Stone, daughter of the late Judge Harry Stone.
In the original run, John Larroquette ("The Practice," "Boston Legal") won four consecutive Emmys for his role as prosecutor Dan Fielding. However, in the revival, Fielding is the public defender, after the assigned public defender quit on Abby's first day.
"He's a lousy defense lawyer. He was a very good prosecutor. He lost very few cases. There's not too many he wins as a 'free lawyer,' as he calls himself," Larroquette said of his character. "It's still fun. It is what it is. It's fine. He's becoming more comfortable in that role of defending people who he doesn't really like that much anyways, but he finds ways to get through the day and try to help them."
New episodes of "Night Court" air Tuesdays at 8:30 p.m. ET on NBC and are available to stream the following day on Peacock.
