Judge Judy Sheindlin left her eponymous CBS show just a few months ago, but she’s already getting back to work on Judy Justice, where she will again rule daily on IMDb TV. The show premieres November 1.
Joining Judge Judy on the IMDb TV Original series are bailiff Kevin Roscoe, court stenographer Whitney Kumar and Sarah Rose, a law clerk who also happens to be Judge Sheindlin’s granddaughter.
Judge Judy will reunite on the project with her longtime executive producer and director Randy Douthit and co-executive producer Amy Freisleben. The trio worked together on her CBS show for 25 years.
“I am probably the luckiest on-air personality in the history of television to have had Randy Douthit and Amy Freisleben shepherd my program for over two decades. They continuously make me look good. With Judy Justice on IMDb TV, the magic continues,” said Judge Sheindlin.
