The Big Bang Theory’s Melissa Rauch is set to star in the previously announced Night Court revival, according to Deadline.
In her first series lead role, Rauch will play Abby Stone, the daughter of Harry Stone, who will preside over the same night shift in Manhattan arraignment court as her father.
Rauch was already attached to the show as an executive producer but reportedly decided to take on the lead role after reading the pilot penned by the reboot’s executive producer, Dan Rubin.
The revival will center around her as she tries ruling over a courtroom filled with oddballs and cynics, just like the original series.
