Actress Melissa Raunch portrays the role of the protagonist, Judge Abby Stone, on NBC’s Night Court which premiered Tuesday.
”Rather than a reboot of the original, the new Night Court will be a continuation of the original story, this time starring Judge Harry Stone’s daughter, Abby Stone (Melissa Rauch), taking the reins as Judge in the courtroom. Episodes will follow a similar formula to the original Night Court as Abby and her courtroom staff tackle the day’s most complicated and kooky cases that make their way to the night shift,” according to NBC.
