How to watch Night Court season 2 online — TV channel and streaming
There's more quirky cases as Abby embarks on a new chapter
Life-altering changes are afoot for Judge Abby Stone (Melissa Rauch) in Night Court season 2.
Night Court season 2 airs on Tuesdays NBC with episodes streaming on Peacock the next day. Americans abroad can watch Night Court season 2 from anywhere with a VPN.
► U.S.: Tuesdays at 8/7c
• TV channel — NBC via Sling / Fubo
• US stream — Peacock
• Watch anywhere — try ExpressVPN 100% risk free
While Abby and Dan embark on a festive quest to discover the fate of a little girl's letter to Santa, poor Olivia (India de Beaufort) is terrorized by a witness who claims to be possessed by the spirit of Christmas – think Charles Dickens, rather than brandy.
Dan, meanwhile, has the judgeship in Louisiana to settle into, and at the time of writing it isn't clear if the Night Court veteran will feature much, if at all, in the upcoming season, though Marsha Warfield’s scene-stealing appearance as Roz Russell, the no-nonsense bailiff from the original show, has raised hopes that we haven't seen the back of him quite yet.
The move back down south was such a bombshell that it rather overshadowed the breakdown of Abby's engagement to Rand (Pete Holmes), though it certainly wouldn't have been lost on Neil (Kapil Talwalkar), who appears to have a soft spot for his boss.
Here's what you need to know to watch Night Court season 2 from anywhere in the world.
How to watch Night Court season 2 from anywhere
Just because NBC and Peacock aren't available everywhere doesn't mean you can't watch Night Court season 2 if you're away from home. Watching along with the rest of the internet can be pretty easy. With the right VPN (virtual private network), you can stream the show from wherever you go.
Not sure which VPN is right for you? We've tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. It offers superb speeds and excellent customer service.
Our favorite VPN service, ExpressVPN, really shines thanks to its safety, speed and simplicity-to-use. It's also compatible with loads of devices - from iOS and Android to Roku, Apple TV and PlayStations. You'll even get an extra 3 months free if you sign up for a year, or there's a 30-day money-back guarantee if you just want to give it a try.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to your streaming service of choice and tune in.
