NBC granted a second season for its revival of Night Court. After the pilot episode of the series debuted as the top broadcast premiere of the 2022-2023 season, the network quickly tapped its gavel for more. 

"It’s so rewarding to have audiences respond and return to a show in which they have such incredibly warm feelings, and, more broadly, it’s testament to how broadcast is still a huge driver of communal viewing," said Lisa Katz, NBC's President of Scripted Content. "A huge thank you to our studio partners, a wonderful cast, incredibly talented writers and producers, and a crew that has transformed a lower Manhattan courtroom into a true family."

Here's everything we know so far about Night Court season 2.
