Life-altering changes are afoot for Night Court season 2, but before Judge Abby Stone (Melissa Rauch) tackles them, the series kicks off with a heartwarming holiday special, The Night Court Before Christmas.
Night Court season 2 airs on NBC from Saturday, December 23, with episodes streaming on Peacock the next day. Americans abroad can watch Night Court season 2 from anywhere with a VPN.
► U.S. premiere: Saturday, December 23, 2023 at 8:35 p.m. ET / 5:35 p.m. PT / 1:35 a.m. GMT (Dec. 24) / 12:35 p.m. AEDT
• TV channel — NBC via Sling / Fubo
• US stream — Peacock

While Abby and Dan embark on a festive quest to discover the fate of a little girl's letter to Santa, poor Olivia (India de Beaufort) is terrorized by a witness who claims to be possessed by the spirit of Christmas – think Charles Dickens, rather than brandy.
Dan, meanwhile, has the judgeship in Louisiana to settle into, and at the time of writing it isn't clear if the Night Court veteran will feature much, if at all, in the upcoming season, though Marsha Warfield’s scene-stealing appearance as Roz Russell, the no-nonsense bailiff from the original show, has raised hopes that we haven't seen the back of him quite yet.
The move back down south was such a bombshell that it rather overshadowed the breakdown of Abby's engagement to Rand (Pete Holmes), though it certainly wouldn't have been lost on Neil (Kapil Talwalkar), who appears to have a soft spot for his boss.
Here's what you need to know to watch Night Court season 2 from anywhere in the world.

Just because NBC and Peacock aren't available everywhere doesn't mean you can't watch Night Court season 2 if you're away from home. Watching along with the rest of the internet can be pretty easy. With the right VPN (virtual private network), you can stream the show from wherever you go.
Not sure which VPN is right for you? We've tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. It offers superb speeds and excellent customer service.
