Court is back in session with Night Court season 3. While Night Court season 2 was shortened due to the 2023 writers and actors' strikes, Night Court season 3 will deliver a full session of courtroom comedy in the 2024 fall television season.
The Night Court "newboot" manages to pull off something that many traditional reboots never achieve, namely the balance between honoring the old and celebrating the new. That sentiment carries over in every episode with lots of nods to the past that complement the new series.
Here's everything we know so far about Night Court season 3.
Night Court season 3 release date
Night Court season 3 premieres Tuesday, November 12. The series will air on Tuesday nights at 8:30 pm ET/PT on NBC, with new episodes becoming available to stream the following day on Peacock.
Night Court season 3 will share the night with freshman medical workplace comedy St. Denis Medical and The Irrational season 2.
You can watch the first two seasons of the show on Peacock now.
If you've cut the cord, you can watch NBC through DirecTV Stream, Hulu with Live TV, Fubo, Sling TV and YouTube TV.
Night Court season 3 cast
Most of the Night Court season 2 cast returns for season 3. The cast includes Melissa Rauch (The Big Bang Theory) as Judge Abby Stone, John Larroquette (Night Court) as Dan Fielding, India de Beaufort (Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist) as Olivia and Lacretta (Gotham) as Donna Gurgs.
We fully expect there will be lots of special guests this season and we'll have casting updates as more information becomes available.
Night Court season 3 plot
We don't have a synopsis of Night Court season 3 but here's the description of the series from NBC:
"Unapologetic optimist judge Abby Stone, the daughter of the late Harry Stone, 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."
