Judge Judy Sheindlin gets new IMDB TV courtroom show

Sept. 10 (UPI) — Television icon Judge Judy Sheindlin is returning with a new courtroom series called Judy Justice for IMDb TV.

The weekday reality show is slated to premiere Nov. 1.

“Joining Judge Judy Sheindlin in the courtroom are bailiff Kevin Rasco, a retired Los Angeles probation officer and entrepreneur, court stenographer Whitney Kumar, a board-certified court reporter in the state of California, and Sarah Rose, a law clerk and Judge Sheindlin’s granddaughter, extending the legacy of the television and courtroom pioneer by bringing in a new generation of legal analysis,” the streaming service said in a press release Thursday.

The show reunites Sheindlin with her longtime executive producer and director Randy Douthit, and co-executive producer Amy Freisleben.

The trio worked together on Judge Judy for more than 25 years.

The syndicated show debuted in 1996 and wrapped in July.

“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,” Sheindlin said in a statement.

“Our bailiff Kevin has been in charge of my security for the last three years. He comes from law enforcement, has a winning smile, a delightful personality, and is always professional. Whitney was a truly lucky find. A skilled court stenographer for 15 years, she brings warmth, great proficiency, and best of all, can refresh my memory in a heartbeat with her machine. I’ve known Sarah, our law clerk, since she was born. She will be a third-generation female lawyer in our family. She’s smart, sassy, and opinionated. Who knows where she gets those traits?”
