Court is back in session with Night Court season 3. While Night Court season 2 was shortened due to the 2023 writers and actors' strikes, Night Court season 3 will deliver a full session of courtroom comedy in the 2024 fall television season.
The Night Court "newboot" manages to pull off something that many traditional reboots never achieve, namely the balance between honoring the old and celebrating the new. That sentiment carries over in every episode with lots of nods to the past that complement the new series.
Here's everything we know so far about Night Court season 3.
Night Court season 3 release date
Night Court season 3 premiered Tuesday, November 19. The series airs on Tuesday nights at 8:30 pm ET/PT on NBC, with new episodes becoming available to stream the following day on Peacock. Night Court season 3 shares the night with freshman medical workplace comedy St. Denis Medical and The Irrational season 2.
Here's everything we know about the Night Court episode airing November 19:
Night Court season 3 episode 1: "The Judge's Boyfriend's Dad"
"Suspecting Dan might be her boyfriend's father, Abby does some investigating; a blast from Dan's past resurfaces as the court's new prosecutor."
You can watch the first two seasons of Night Court on Peacock now.
If you've cut the cord, you can watch NBC through DirecTV Stream, Hulu with Live TV, Fubo, Sling TV and YouTube TV.

Night Court season 3 plot
Here's the description of the series from NBC:
