Night Court Star Lacretta Signals First Day of Season 3 Filming

Night Court star Lacretta had some great news to share with fans of the hit NBC sitcom, confirming today's the first day of Season 3 filming.

When we last checked in with how things were looking with the upcoming third season of series star/EP Melissa Rauch, co-star/EP John Larroquette & writer/EP Dan Rubin's Night Court, we were taking a look at the filming dates that ticketing site Iota had listed that folks could request tickets for to join the studio audience. But as much of a ten-ton hint that was that filming on Season 3 was getting underway this month, nothing beats actually getting the confirmation from one of the show's stars – and that's exactly what we got earlier today from Lacretta (Donna "Gurgs" Gurganos). Along with a look at some Season 3 cast swag from the producers, Lacretta also shared a look at the script cover for the first episode ("conveniently" blurred, dammit) and a comment that makes it pretty clear: "Day 1 Season 3 let's goooooooooo!!"

Here's a look at what Lacretta shared this afternoon to signal the start of filming on the third season of the hit NBC sitcom:

NBC's Night Court: An Overview

The eternally optimistic Abby Stone (Melissa Rauch) follows in the footsteps of her revered late father, Judge Harry Stone, as she takes on the challenge of overseeing the night shift of a Manhattan arraignment court.

Abby always sees the best in people, and her passion for justice is undeniable. 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's public defender. Still exceedingly self-confident, Fielding must adjust to a new boss and a new job – defending the downtrodden. And, beneath his arrogant demeanor, there is an empathetic side to Fielding that Abby is determined to unearth.

They both must contend with Olivia (India de Beaufort), the court's officious assistant district attorney. Driven and ambitious, she views the night court as a stepping stone on her way to bigger things. Wyatt Shaw (Nyambi Nyambi), the court's new quick-witted and sarcastic clerk, has seen it all. As a recently divorced, overprotective father of two young girls, he's determined to make sure his daughters see way less than he did.

Rounding out the staff is Donna "Gurgs" Gurganos (Lacretta), the night court's sharp-witted bailiff. Gurgs takes her job very seriously and is fiercely protective of her night court colleagues. Nikolai (Dimiter Marinov) is the court's maintenance man. A staple character within the building, Nikolai pops up in the day-to-day lives of the crew. He's a mystery to everyone around the courthouse (and he likes it that way).

Rauch and Winston Rauch executive produce via After January production company (based at Warner Bros. TV) alongside Rubin- with Larroquette set to produce. After January produces in association with the original series studio, Warner Bros.
