So when is the brand new show is releasing? What is the plot? Who is playing the lead roles? Continue reading to know further details.
Night Court Plot and Cast
The revival of Night Court is wisely anchoring itself to the memory of Harry Stone. As his daughter, Abby will be eager to follow in her dad’s footsteps. Just like Harry, she’ll be preceding over the night shift of a Manhattan arraignment court, and as a result, viewers can expect her to encounter an eclectic bunch of characters each week.
Meanwhile, Dan Fielding is no longer working as a night court prosecutor, which suggests he may have a personal connection to Abby. He may be a surrogate father figure to her in the wake of Harry’s death or even an antagonistic figure in her life since she’s eager to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, while Dan was always more of a shark.
So far, those are the only details NBC has released, but since the pilot is a multi-camera project like the original, it will likely follow a similar format. Expect Abby to handle a different wacky case each week as she and the rest of the night shift workers deal with the strange people who frequent late-night courtroom proceedings.
There’s no denying the “Night Court” revival has big shoes to fill, but the early details suggest the potential series is off to a solid start.
The main cast includes Melissa Rauch as Abby Stone, John Larroquette as Dan Fielding, India de Beaufort as Olivia, Kapil Talwalkar as Neil and Lauretta as Donna “Gurgs” Gurganus.
