‘Night Court’ Canceled After 3 Seasons at NBC

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

NBC opted not to renew the Melissa Rauch-led sitcom 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).

While the sitcom 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, the daughter of Harry Anderson’s judge Harry Stone, as she presides over a night court in New York City. Original “Night Court” star John Larroquette also reprises his role as Dan Fielding, who takes on a father-like role to Abby following Harry’s death.

Original “Night Court” star Marsha Warfield also begin appearing in the reboot in the Season 1 finale, and has appeared in several episodes across the second and third installments. Notably, the reboot series portrayed a more authentic version of Warfield’s Roz, making her character gay, in alignment with Warfield’s own sexuality.

In addition to Rauch and Larroquette, the main cast for “Night Court” Season 3 included Lacretta, Nyambi Nyambi and Wendie Malick, and had previously starred India de Beaufort and Kapil Talwalkar in the first season.

Ahead of the Season 3 finale, Rauch told TheWrap she would “do this show until Abby Stone was a geriatric judge.”

“I’m having the time of my life getting to do it, and I truly feel like a little kid who got to step through my TV screen into a show that I love so much,” Rauch said. “I’ll do it for as long as they’ll have us. I’m hopeful. I love what we’ve created this season, and I feel like, as we saw from the cliffhanger, there’s so many more stories to tell.”

“Night Court” is produced by Warner Bros. TV.
