Judge Judy Sheindlin said, “I’m over the moon to be in business with Amazon Studios.”
The TV star’s new court show, which follows her famed reality court show, Judge Judy, will stream exclusively on IMDb TV — Amazon’s free entertainment platform, according to Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter.

Similar to Judge Judy, Sheindlin’s new series, which is currently untitled, will see her presiding over small-claims cases with her signature no-nonsense style.
“I’m over the moon to be in business with Amazon Studios and continuing this incredible journey with them on a new platform is so exciting,” Sheindlin, 78, said in a statement obtained by Deadline. “I used to yell at my husband, Jerry, for all the packages he had ordered from Amazon every day. I have enough mouthwash in the cabinets to keep the entire planet’s breath fresh until the next millennium. The doorbell never stops ringing. The dogs don’t even bark at the delivery people anymore. After I signed this deal, I apologized to Jerry. Who would have thought that Sheindlins and Amazon would be mishpachah?”
Of the upcoming project, Lauren Anderson and Ryan Pirozzi, co-heads of content and programming for IMDb TV, said in a statement obtained by Deadline: “Judge Judy Sheindlin is a TV icon and visionary who has entertained millions of fans for decades. As we build the IMDb TV slate of high-quality, ambitious Amazon Studios Originals, we are delighted to deliver customers a court program from the legendary Judge Sheindlin who, without a doubt, is the very best in the business.”
Judge Judy is currently airing its 25th and final season in syndication.
Sheindlin announced in March on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that her show would be coming to an end and revealed she was prepping for the new show, which she called Judy Justice. (The name is still in the works.) Read more from People.
