Things were looking grim for the Melissa Rauch-led Night Court reboot at NBC following its cancellation after three seasons. Despite hopes from the team that the sitcom could find a new home for courtroom hijinks by shopping the series, initial reports from TV Line revealed that nobody was biting on bringing back Judge Abby Stone and her staff for another run. Now, Rauch has delivered the show its sentence. In a recent post on Instagram, she finally addressed the show's end and revealed that, despite the best efforts of everyone involved, the Manhattan municipal court will be remaining closed.

"I have held off on posting anything about Night Court not continuing until I knew we did everything in our power to find another home for it," Rauch said to open her post. As a longtime fan of the original Reinhold Weege series starring Harry Anderson, the reboot was a...

Melissa Rauch officially bid farewell to “Night Court” on Wednesday, breaking the news that the reboot series was unable to find another home after its cancellation at NBC.

“I have held off on posting anything about ‘Night Court’ not continuing until I knew we did everything in our power to find another home for it,” Rauch said in a Wednesday Instagram post, adding that the Goonies “Never Say Die” motto or “straight up denial” led her to hope the “incredibly special experience” wouldn’t be coming to an end.

“That said, after turning over all the stones there were to be turned over, we’ve learned that it is officially the hour to say ‘farewell.’ Or at least ‘Until next time,'” Rauch continued.

The news comes just over a month after NBC opted not to renew “Night Court” for the upcoming 2025-26 broadcast season, canceling the sitcom after three...

The 2024-2025 TV season has ended, and now audience members can look forward to networks throwing up new shows and brand-new seasons of their favorite ones. However, prior to the network shows taking a break, several shows were axed. Over at NBC, in early May, the verdict came in regarding the network's courtroom comedy, Night Court. Starring Melissa Rauch as Judge Abby Stone, it was announced that the show, which is a reboot of the classic Reinhold Weege sitcom, will not be returning for a fourth season. With NBC locking up the gates of the courthouse, will we see the comedy continue elsewhere?

While we Night Court fans might be hoping that NBC might be willing to shop the comedy series out, recent reports don't offer much hope. Per TV Line, "early efforts to shop the sitcom revival have thus far come up empty," the report says in part, adding,...

The article includes spoilers for the Night Court Season 3 finale.

Despite ending its third season on a cliffhanger, Night Courtwill not see a fourth season as NBC recently canceled the reboot of the popular 1980s sitcom. One of the original Night Court stars, Marsha Warfield, who played Rosalind “Roz” Russell in the series from 1986 to 1992, took to the social media site Threads to express her thoughts on the reboot being canceled.

Warfield, who reprised her Roz role in the new series, stated via Threads, “I’m so sorry to hear this! To John Larroquette, I have enjoyed every moment of working with you, and if fates allow, let's do it again sometime! To [Melissa Rauch] meeting you and watching you revive a cherished memory and give it new life has been inspirational. May you continue to dream and shine! [Lacretta], gurrll, don't you ever stop being amazing! And to all...

Nostalgia is not, inherently, a bad thing. Classic films like Federico Fellini's "L'Avventura," George Lucas' "American Graffiti," and Richard Linklater's "Dazed and Confused" pine away for carefree youth, but they're also careful to acknowledge that the end of the party is on the horizon. Those tales are told from a place of melancholy remove. To quote Thomas Wolfe, "Going back home is a real boneheaded idea."

But in our glutted age of entertainment, where the competition for eyeballs is fierce, the old-school networks believe that one of their programming strengths is viewers' wistfulness for a simpler time, when there were three or four major broadcast entities providing the lion's share of original content. ABC, NBC, CBS and the 1980s party crasher Fox have their work cut out for them in 2025. They're held to conservative content standards and archaic scheduling strictures. Decades ago, they still had an edge because...

The NBC jury has reached a verdict, your honor, and it is bad news for Night Court fans. The reboot of the classic Reinhold Weege sitcom was firmly on the bubble for the network after drawing a more modest audience than its first two seasons under Dan Rubin. In the end, Melissa Rauch will not be returning to the bench as Judge Abby Stone for Season 4, as the series has been cancelled per Deadline. The news comes just days after Season 3 served out the final two episodes of its 18-episode sentence with a bombshell reveal that changed everything for Judge Stone.

Night Court kicked off on a white-hot note when it debuted in 2023. According to Nielsen ratings at the time, the reboot had been NBC's biggest comedy premiere since 2017, only being surpassed by the reboot of Will & Grace. Since then, the series settled into a groove, bringing zany courtroom...

NBC has canceled Lopez vs. Lopez and Night Court after three seasons apiece. The cancellations come on the final business day before NBC’s upfront — when networks pitch advertisers on their coming slates — on Monday.

Night Court aired its third season finale, which will now serve as a series ender, on Tuesday — although sources say Warner Bros. TV, which produces the show with Universal TV, may try to find a new home for the series.

This Night Court stars Melissa Rauch (who also executive produces) as Abby Stone, a judge in Manhattan’s often chaotic night court and the daughter of Harry Stone, the lead character in the original 1984-92 series (who was played by the late Harry Anderson). John Larroquette reprised his role from the original series as attorney Dan Fielding; the season three cast also includes Lacretta, Nyambi Nyambi and Wendie Malick. Marsha Warfield made several appearances as Roz,...

It’s the end of the road for the “Night Court” reboot and “Lopez vs. Lopez” at NBC.

NBC opted not to renew the Melissa Rauch-led sitcom or the George and Mayan Lopez comedy series for a fourth season, TheWrap has learned. The news comes just days after “Night Court” aired its Season 3 finale, which left off on a cliffhanger surrounding the romantic life of judge Abby Stone (Rauch). “Lopez vs. Lopez” wrapped its run in February.

The cuts come ahead of NBC’s upfront presentation on Monday, with the network having to make tough decisions to make room for NBA programming starting this fall.

While “Night Court” won’t return to NBC, Warner Bros. TV, which produces the show, is hoping to find a new home for series, an individual with knowledge told TheWrap.

Following in the footsteps of the original “Night Court” sitcom, which ran from 1984 to 1992, the reboot series follows Abby,...

Night Court is no longer in session: NBC has cancelled the courtroom comedy revival after three seasons, TVLine has confirmed, though it is possible that Warner Bros. Television could shop the sitcom around to another network or streamer.

The continuation of the 1984-92 courtroom comedy starred Melissa Rauch (The Big Bang Theory) as Judge Abby Stone, who presided over the same New York City night court as her late father Harry Stone (played on the original series by Harry Anderson, who died in 2018). John Larroquette reprised his role as attorney Dan Fielding, who served as the night court’s public defender.

Exclusive: NBC’s Night Court is no longer in session as the multi-camera comedy starring Melissa Rauch is not being renewed for a fourth season.

The news is not surprising since NBC has been looking to make cuts as it is preparing for basketball coverage next season under the $2.5B a year deal with the NBA. Night Court, a reboot the original 1984 sitcom, was considered vulnerable — after a strong early run early on, the comedy has been posting significant year-to-year drop-off this season as the nostalgia factor may have worn off.

Still, Deadline understands there was a late push for Night Court to return for a shorter fourth and final season, which was unsuccessful. There is a possibility for it to be shopped elsewhere by studio Warner Bros. Television.

Night Court was one of three multi-camera comedy series on NBC this season. Freshman hit Happy’s Place has been renewed for next season.

The third season ofNBC's Night Court ended with a very unanticipated reveal, and at the same time, debuted Melissa Rauch’s former Big Bang Theoryhusband. The finale aired on NBC on Tuesday, May 6, as a one-hour event with Part 1 featuring guest stars Michael Urie and original Night Court star Marsha Warfield. Part 2, on the other hand, saw Simon Helberg appear once again as Rauch’s onscreen spouse, marking the first TV reunion between the duo since their stint on Big Bang.

Given how things concluded in the Night Court Season 3 finale, fans should expect Helberg's return in future episodes if the show is renewed. But while that remains to be seen, Rauch recently discussed the finale with TV Insider, including what it was like working with her former Big Bang Theory co-star. The actress only had the best words for Helberg, describing his presence on set as “so incredibly special” before adding:

“We’re,...

Night Court has officially adjourned its third season on NBC — and yes, it had another treat for all you Big Bang Theory fans.

Part 1 of Tuesday’s two-part season finale had a few guest stars of its own, with Marsha Warfield returning as Roz and Michael Urie playing a zany judge who annoyed Abby with his wild popularity. But it was Part 2 that pressed that Big Bang nostalgia button: Simon Helberg, who played Howard to Melissa Rauch’s Bernadette on Big Bang, popped up in the episode’s final moments as Abby’s previously unmentioned “husband,” who walked into her...

Night Court is airing its two-part Season 3 finale Tuesday (May 6) night on NBC, and with it comes the arrival of two stars from Melissa Rauch‘s Big Bang Theory world as well as a tribute to the original Night Court episode that made her fall in love with the series in the first place. The finale’s second half will see Rauch’s former TV husband, Simon Helberg, appear in a mystery role that’s involved in a plot twist so big, Rauch says, “Even people who haven’t seen one of our episodes would be extremely surprised by what have in store.” It’s a change that’s also hugely involved in the show’s plans for a fourth season. Part 1 of the Night Court Season 3 finale begins at 8/7c and features the return of Marsha Warfield, Night Court‘s original bailiff, who will ...

Night Court is about to adjourn for Season 3, but there are still two more episodes to go before Abby Stone (Melissa Rauch) and her overworked colleagues clock out.

Entertainment Weekly has exclusively shared the first images from the upcoming Season 3 finale of Night Court that finally brings Simon Helberginto the Manhattan Municipal Court to stand before Judge Abby Stone, played by his former on-screen partner Melissa Rauch.

On May 7, 2022, a historic moment in comedy unfolded at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. LGBTQ+ comedians from around the world gathered for an unprecedented performance celebrating diverse voices and groundbreaking achievements in Netflix's stand-up special Stand Out: An LGBTQ+ Celebration. While audiences may have viewed it as an epic comedy night, for filmmaker Page Hurwitz, it became much more: the backbone of her documentary, Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution.

“The truth is that the documentary came first,” Hurwitz tells Gold Derby. “When I envisioned the documentary, I envisioned having this big LGBTQ historic comedy show that would serve as sort of this energetic spine and envelope for a documentary. When I pitched the concept to Netflix, they loved it. What I wanted to do is create a documentary that felt as dynamic as our community. By combining these disparate elements of having original performances with sit down interviews, with their taped footage,...

It’s not every day that a classic 1980s sitcom gets revived by a major television channel, but that’s exactly what happened with Night Court. Fans of the original series, which aired from 1984 to 1992, were thrilled—and perhaps a little shocked—when NBC premiered a revival of Night Court on January 17, 2023. Rather than rebooting the beloved show, this new series continues the original storyline, focusing on Abby Stone, the daughter of Harry Stone, the quirky and endearing judge who was the heart of the original series.

The revival has proven to be more than just a nostalgic trip down memory lane. In February 2023, after a successful debut, the series was renewed for a second season, which premiered on December 23, 2023. The momentum didn’t stop there—by May 2024, NBC had renewed Night Court for a third season, set to premiere on November 19, 2024. With its blend of old and new, the...

A familiar face is joining the cast of Night Court Season 3. Wendie Malick, who recurred in the first two seasons, has been upgraded to a series regular for the upcoming third season of the NBC sitcom, which is set to premiere on NBC on Tuesday, Nov. 19 at 8:30 p.m. Et/Pt.

Per Deadline, Malick will be reprising her role from the first two seasons as Julianne Walters, the new prosecutor for the night shift at the Manhattan Criminal Court. She is described as "a reformed convict" who is "a sophisticated, savvy woman and accomplished attorney who also knows how to make a shank out of a spoon." She is also the former love interest of Dan Fielding (John Larroquette). Malick's casting comes after it was revealed back in May 2024 that India de Beaufort had departed the series after two seasons and would not be returning as assistant district attorney/prosecutor Olivia Moore.

In the opening section of Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution, you might be forgiven for thinking this is an extended Pride Month promo to breathe new life into Netflix’s 2022 special, Stand Out: An LGBTQ+ Celebration. But in a Q&a following the rousingly received opening-night screening at the Provincetown Film Festival, director Page Hurwitz clarified the chicken-and-the-egg situation, explaining that she produced the event at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, which assembled 22 prominent queer comics on the same bill, as a foundational building block for this documentary surveying the rich history of LGBTQ+ comedians.

At a time when a new generation of queer comics from across the sexual and gender identity spectrum has emerged into what appears to be a thriving scene, this is an invaluable primer on the many performers who kicked down resistant doors to make today’s greater representation possible.
