Judge Judy Sheindlin’s original show was one of the highest-rated and most profitable programs in daytime history. After concluding its successful 25-season run in 2021, the legacy of Judge Judy continues with a new courtroom series titled ‘Adam’s Law.’ CBS Media Ventures has announced that Adam Levy, the son of Judge Judy, will take on the role of presiding judge in this upcoming show.
‘Adam’s Law’ is set to premiere as part of CBS Media Ventures’ expanded fall 2026 syndication slate. The show aims to focus on rooting out facts and dispensing justice in small-claims-style cases, following a fast-paced, no-nonsense style similar to its predecessor, ‘Judge Judy.’
Adam Levy, who is 57 years old, has experience in the courtroom, having served as a prosecutor and judge on Amazon’s courtroom programs. The new series will be produced by Judge Judy’s Queen Bee Productions in association with CBS Media Ventures, ensuring that the hallmark qualities of the original show are retained.
Industry reaction to the announcement has been cautiously optimistic regarding the potential success of ‘Adam’s Law.’ John Budkins from CBS Media Ventures noted, “With seven of the top 10 most-watched first-run syndicated titles currently on the air, we’re proud to continue to produce and distribute a wide range of high-quality shows.”
As CBS Media Ventures engages in discussions with station groups about clearances for the 2026 season, the anticipation around ‘Adam’s Law’ is growing. Judge Judy remains active in television production and is an executive producer for the new series, further solidifying her influence in the industry.
While the legacy of Judge Judy continues through her son, the question remains whether Adam Levy can carve out his own successful chapter in this competitive landscape. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the show’s specific format and case types, but the excitement surrounding its debut is palpable.
