NBC began making big renewal and cancelation announcments on May 9 with Night Court and Lopez vs Lopez, after three seasons each, both axed.
Found, The Irrational, and Suits LA have all also been canceled.
Warner Bros. Television, the production company behind Night Court, may shop the sitcom to other networks or a steamer.
Night Court
Night Court was a reboot of the 1980s comedy with The Big Bang Theory’s Melissa Rauch as Judge Abby Stone, who was given the same New York City night court as her late father Harry Stone (played on the original series by Harry Anderson).
John Larroquette returned to the series to reprise his role as attorney Dan Fielding, and they were joined by Lacretta as bailiff Gurgs, Nyambi Nyambi as court clerk Wyatt and Wendie Malick.
Lopez vs Lopez
Lopez vs. Lopez has also been axed, three months after the season three finale – now the series finale – aired on February 7, 2025. Lopez vs. Lopez told the story of a “working-class old-school Latino who moves in with his modern Gen Z daughter as they rebuild their dysfunctional relationship one argument at a time”.

What else is on the line?
NBC has also canceled Found after two seasons, as well as The Irrational.
Brilliant Minds, Grosse Pointe Garden Society, and The Hunting Party, all still on the bubble.

The rebooted Suits show, Suits: LA, has also been canceled after one season. Headlined by Stephen Amell, it was spinoff of the long-running USA Network series Suits starring Meghan Markle.
NBC renewals
NBC has renewed the One Chicago franchise – Chicago Fire, PD, and Med – as well as Happy’s Place, Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, and the sitcom St. Denis Medical.
One Chicago fans can expect some changes next season, however, as Daniel Kyri, who plays Darren Ritter, and Jake Lockett, two long-standing members of the cast, will not be returning for season 14.

Jake has yet to comment publicly.
The pair are thought to be leaving as part of an “effort to trim the budget of Chicago Fire,” with many cast members not appearing in all of a season’s episodes. Deadline has also reported that the actors who take on Illinois residency will see their episode count increase while those who don’t will see a further slide.
There may still be changes to come though, as there are a few cast members whose contracts are up and are still in talks for renewal, including Taylor Kinney.
