Like its predecessor, the Night Court revival revolves around the hectic night shift at the Manhattan Criminal Court. Rauch stars in the Night Court reboot as Abby Stone, the daughter of the late Harry Stone (an iconic character from the original series), alongside Larroquette reprising his role as Dan Fielding and fresh faces like Lacretta and India de Beaufort playing new characters created specifically for the reboot.

The Night Court season 2 cast has seen some major changes from season 1. While most of the beloved characters in the main cast are back for the second season, Kapil Talwalkar is missing. In season 1, Talwalkar played Neil, a clerk with a crush on Abby. But in season 2, he’s nowhere to be seen. In his place, season 2 has brought back another fan-favorite icon from the original Night Court series. The season has also seen the arrival of high-profile guest stars like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Maria Bamford. The Night Court season 2 cast is full of great actors.

The Main Cast
Melissa Rauch leads the cast of Night Court as Abby Stone, the idealistic daughter of the late Harry Stone, who became a judge and took over her father’s night shift at the Manhattan Criminal Court. Rauch is best known for playing the high-pitched Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz in The Big Bang Theory, a role that earned her global recognition and a Critics’ Choice Television Award nomination.

John Larroquette reprises his role from the original Night Court series as Dan Fielding. In the reboot, Dan remains as sardonic as ever, but he’s dropped his “ladies’ man” act. He returns to the Manhattan Criminal Court to serve as a public defender.

The assistant district attorney assigned to Abby’s court, Olivia, is played by India de Beaufort. Before being cast in Night Court, de Beaufort was already a staple of the sitcom genre, having played recurring roles in Veep and Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, as well as the main role in Kevin (Probably) Saves the World.

The bailiff for Abby’s court, Donna Gurganous, known by her nickname “Gurgs,” is played by Lacretta. Before Night Court, Lacretta played Suzi Teplitsky in the 2018 Jennifer Lopez romcom Second Act. Lacretta previously played guest roles on popular TV shows, like Madame in Gotham and Ronnie Pettus in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
