Judge Judy fans, buckle up: her son Adam Levy is stepping up to the bench with his own syndicated courtroom show, and the Sheindlin daytime dynasty is officially expanding.
What is 'Adam's Law'?
Paramount says Adam Levy will headline a new syndicated court series called 'Adam's Law,' produced by Judy Sheindlin's Queen Bee Productions in partnership with CBS Media Ventures. The pitch is simple: a sharp, modern spin on the classic courtroom format, fronted by a judge who is being positioned as tough, plainspoken, and laser-focused on outcomes — very much in the family tradition.
The show is being developed for CBS Media Ventures' syndicated slate, meaning it will be sold to local stations around the country rather than tied to a single network time slot.
Who is Adam Levy?
Beyond the last name, Levy brings real bona fides. He served two terms as a district attorney before moving in front of the camera as a judge on Amazon's 'Tribunal Justice' and 'Justice on Trial.' So yes, he is Judy's son, but he has actually tried cases and run an office — and on TV, he has already shown he can handle disputing parties with a steady hand.
'Adam is a spectacular lawyer. His search for the truth is unparalleled, and he is the gold standard for judicial excellence,' Judy Sheindlin said.
Where and when you will see it
'Adam's Law' is set to be part of CBS Media Ventures' revamped fall 2026 lineup alongside 'The Drew Barrymore Show,' 'Inside Edition,' 'Hot Bench,' 'Flip Side,' and 'The Perfect Line.' CBS executive John Budkins framed the slate as built to engage and entertain partners and viewers, with this show serving as the bold new courtroom entry.
Why this matters (and a Judy refresher)
'Judge Judy' premiered in 1996 and ran for 25 seasons through 2021, becoming one of the longest-running and most-watched syndicated series on TV. It pulled top daytime ratings, won awards (including a Daytime Emmy), and turned Judith Sheindlin into a full-on TV icon. 'Adam's Law' keeps that legacy going, with the Sheindlins now running multiple benches across daytime and streaming. If you are wondering whether this is just a name play, the answer seems to be: the name helps, but the resume is real.
