Night Court Revival Ends After Failing to Find New Network Home

Melissa Rauch announced on Instagram that efforts to relocate the sitcom after NBC’s cancellation fell through.

Overview

  • NBC opted not to renew the revival for the 2025–26 season after three seasons on the air.
  • Season 3 average viewership slipped 36 percent to about 1.95 million per episode.
  • Warner Bros. Television and Universal Television shopped the series to other outlets without success.
  • The revival continued the original 1984–1992 Night Court and reunited Melissa Rauch with John Larroquette as Dan Fielding.
  • Cancellation reflects NBC’s shift toward live sports and broader declines in scripted program audiences.
