NBC Considers “Night Court” Sequel With John Larroquette As Dan Fielding

The multi-camera Night Court reboot will be written and executive produced by Dan Rubin (The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) and based on the original series created by Reinhold Weege. The series will center on the unapologetic optimist judge Abby Stone, daughter of the late Harry Stone, who follows in her father’s footsteps as she presides over the night shift of a Manhattan arraignment court and tries to bring order to its crew of oddballs and cynics, most notably former night court prosecutor Dan Fielding (Larroquette).

The original Night Court aired on NBC for nine seasons from 1984-92 and earned three Outstanding Comedy Series Emmy nominations, followed the proceedings during the night shift of a Manhattan municipal court. Harry Anderson, who died in 2018 at age 65, played the young, unorthodox Judge Harold “Harry” T. Stone.
