The beloved sitcom 'Night Court' is set to return for a third season, but not without some notable changes to its cast. While several familiar faces will be back in the courtroom, one star has announced her departure, and a new addition is joining the ranks.
India de Beaufort, who played assistant district attorney Olivia Moore for the first two seasons, confirmed in May that she would not be returning. In a heartfelt statement, she expressed her gratitude for her time on the show, praising the cast and crew for their dedication and talent. "My time at *Night Court
has come to an end," she wrote, "but my god. That was fun."
De Beaufort's departure leaves a void in the courtroom, but the show is welcoming a new face: Wendie Malick joins the cast as series regular Julianne Walters, a former romantic partner of Dan Fielding (played by Ryan Hansen). The seasoned actress brings a wealth of experience to the role and promises to add a new dynamic to the already vibrant ensemble.
The rest of the core cast, including John Larroquette, Melissa Rauch, Lacretta, Gary Anthony Williams, and Nyambi Nyambi, are all set to return for the new season, ensuring that the spirit of the original 'Night Court' continues to thrive.
NBC has also recently renewed several other shows for the 2024-2025 season, showcasing its commitment to providing entertaining programming for viewers.
While the departure of India de Beaufort is a loss, the addition of Wendie Malick brings fresh energy and intrigue to the upcoming season. With a familiar cast and a captivating new character, 'Night Court' promises to deliver more laughter and heartwarming moments in its third season.
