NBC has issued an series order for the Night Court reboot, Deadline reports.

The revival of the 1980s series will star Melissa Rauch as Judge Harry Stone’s daughter, Abby, with John Larroquette returning as prosecutor Dan Fielding

Here’s the official summary of the show: Night Court centers on unapologetic optimist judge Abby Stone, the 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.

Originally, Melissa was only set to executive produce the show, but stepped into the lead role after reading the script.

“My intention was purely to be behind the camera on this project, but my plans quickly changed after falling in love with the incredible script from the brilliant mind of Dan Rubin,” she shared. “I couldn’t be more thrilled to join forces with Dan, the immense talent that is John Larroquette, and the two powerhouse institutions of comedy that are NBC and Warner Bros. to bring Night Court back to television.”

John will also be a producer on the series. He earned four Outstanding Comedy Series Emmy nominations during the original run of the show, and won them all.

Harry Anderson, who starred as judge Harry Stone in the original series, passed away in 2018.

Congrats are in order for Melissa Rauch and her husband, Winston Rauch – they’ve welcomed a new baby to their family!

The 39-year-old Big Bang Theory actress shared the happy news about her new baby’s arrival on Instagram.

“I am incredibly thankful and overjoyed to announce the birth of our son, Brooks Rauch, who we just welcomed into the world and directly into our hearts,” Melissa wrote on her Instagram, snapping a pic of the baby’s adorable beanie with his name stitched on it.

She continued, “His arrival was made possible, in no small part, by the front line heroes — the nurses and doctors who show up each day to make sure that life keeps marching forward, regardless of the circumstances.”

“Words can’t describe how grateful I am to have this baby boy join our family, but to say that it is a surreal time to be bringing life into the world is an understatement.”

In an essay for Glamour, Melissa opened up about not having Winston in the delivery room with her – not because of a rule that barred him from being there, but because there was no one else to watch their daughter, Sadie, during it.

“I tried my best to hold on to that as I said goodbyes to my husband and daughter and walked myself into the hospital, masked up, clumsily balancing my bags and birthing ball like I was doing a knocked-up Mr. Bean bit,” she wrote.

Congrats to the happy family.

Following the emotional series finale of The Big Bang Theory on Thursday, the cast of the beloved CBS sitcom joined Stephen Colbert on The Late Show!

Kaley Cuoco, Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik, Melissa Rauch and Simon Helberg all hit the stage on Thursday night (May 16), where they dished on the show coming to an end, answered questions, and shared some secrets about their time on set over the last 12 years.

One of the funniest moments came when Colbert‘s questions came “from an anonymous member of the group, for the entire group.”

“Did anyone ever have sex in their dressing room?,” one cast member fessed up before both Cuoco and Nayyar pointed a finger at Galecki. “You must have,” Cuoco and Nayyar said as Galecki slowly raised his hand.

Jim also talked about how the writers were under enormous pressure as they worked on the series finale: “You can’t get it wrong, because it’s yours – you’ve been writing it all this time,” he said, then adding, “Think of it this way, you can’t get it right! Someone’s going to hate it. We’ll find out tomorrow.”

It started with reading that initial script, and then last night shooting it in front of the audience, and this morning with the hands at Mann’s Chinese [Theatre]. It’s just been a beautiful tribute to our show. I don’t know, I just feel so grateful. It’s been a gift, a gift of 12 years.”
