Judge Judy creator Judy Sheindlin is ending her on-camera courtroom career after about 30 years, and her son Adam Levy is set to take over a new series. Multiple outlets report that Sheindlin is winding down her long-running TV judge persona as her latest court show approaches its final run.
The Oregonian and Global News (Canada) both say that Sheindlin’s current program, “Judy Justice,” is nearing the end of its run. Global News adds that the series is expected to finish in October. The reporting also aligns that Sheindlin plans to hand over the “gavel,” with Adam Levy preparing to lead the next on-screen courtroom format. The sources do not present detailed reasons for the retirement, but they frame the move as a transition of leadership within the show’s production and on-screen presence.
