Night Court Loses Main Character India de Beaufort Before Season 3
India de Beaufort, who played prosecutor Olivia Moore on the NBC sitcom Night Court for the past two seasons, will not be returning for Season 3. The actress broke the news herself in an Instagram post earlier this month, the same day Night Court was renewed for a third season at NBC.
In her post, de Beaufort expressed her gratitude towards NBC, WB, After January Productions, and the show’s writers, producers, directors, and cast and crew for the past two years, and her excitement for the possibility of reuniting with old friends in new projects.de Beaufort co-starred as Olivia Moore, the tightly wound prosecuting attorney who reluctantly struck up a friendship with Melissa Rauch’s Judge Abby Stone and with bailiff Gurgs, played by Lauretta.
The cast also includes John Larroquette, reprising his role as Dan Fielding from Night Court’s original NBC run. This marks the second original cast member to leave Night Court: Kapil Talwalkar exited the series ahead of its second season as court clerk Neil, with Nyambi Nyambi joining the Season 2 cast as new court clerk Wyatt.
Night Court, which has been renewed for a third season since May 3, will continue without de Beaufort’s character. Headlined by Melissa Rauch, who also executive produces, the original series John Larroquette, Night Court follows Abby Stone (Rauch), an eternally optimistic woman who takes on the challenge of overseeing the night shift of a Manhattan arraignment court.
Abby’s unwavering belief in people and her strong passion for justice are evident as she strives to bring order and dignity to the court and manage its eccentric crew. In her pursuit of maintaining order, she enlists the help of former night court district attorney Dan Fielding (Larroquette) to serve as the court’s public defender. While it will be sad to not see de Beaufort on the series, at the very least, perhaps they will explain why Olivia had to leave.
Maybe she can even return later down the line, even if it’s just to pop in to say hi. Night Court will be returning to NBC this fall but at a new time, airing at 8:30 p.m. ET on Tuesdays, following the new series St. Denis Medical.
