In her quest to bring order and dignity to the court and reign in its colorful crew of oddballs, she enlists former night court district attorney Dan Fielding (John Larroquette) to serve as the court\u2019s public defender. Still exceedingly self-confident, Fielding must adjust to a new boss and a new job \u2013 defending the downtrodden. And, beneath his arrogant demeanor, there is an empathetic side to Fielding that Abby is determined to unearth.<\/p>\n<p>They both must contend with Olivia (India de Beaufort), the court\u2019s officious assistant district attorney. Driven and ambitious, she views the night court as a steppingstone on her way to bigger things. Donna \u201cGurgs\u201d Gurganos (Lacretta) is the night court\u2019s sharp-witted bailiff. Gurgs takes her job very seriously and is fiercely protective of her night court colleagues. Rounding out the staff is Wyatt Shaw (Nyambi Nyambi), the court\u2019s new clerk. He\u2019s a jack of all trades and devoted single dad trying to make it all work as a law student at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>From executive producer and writer Dan Rubin (\u201cUnbreakable Kimmy Schmidt\u201d), \u201cNight Court\u201d is based on the original hit series that ran for nine seasons on NBC. Melissa Rauch and Winston Rauch executive produce through their After January Productions. Mona Garcea oversees for After January Productions and John Larroquette serves as a executive producer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNight Court\u201d is produced by Rauch\u2019s After January Productions in association with Warner Bros.
