CBS announced a 90-minute primetime special, “Judge Judy: Unfiltered, Unforgettable,” to mark the long-running court show’s 30th anniversary. The program highlights Judith Sheindlin’s career and reflects on how she became a prominent TV judge, drawing on personal materials and behind-the-scenes footage.
The special is timed to the show’s debut in the fall of 1996 and is set to air Tuesday, Sept. 22 from 8:00 to 9:30 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. Deadline also reports that the special will be accompanied by live streaming availability on Paramount+ (Premium), extending access beyond broadcast.
Both outlets describe the format as an intimate retrospective using home movies and archival content. Coverage also points to notable participation associated with the event, with Deadline adding that Steven Spielberg, Samuel L. Jackson and other figures are connected to the special, while Variety focuses more on Sheindlin’s personal perspective and the story of her rise as a Manhattan bench jurist.
