Judge Judy’s son Adam Levy set to star in his own CBS courtroom show

Judge Judy’s son Adam Levy is heading to the TV courtroom — this time with his own show.

CBS has announced that Mr. Levy, 57, will star in a new courtroom series titled “Adam’s Law,” set to premiere this fall as part of the network’s 2026/2027 programming slate. The show will be produced by his mother, Judy Sheindlin, better known as Judge Judy, with CBS Media Ventures serving as distributor.

Like Ms. Sheindlin, Mr. Levy will bring real-world legal expertise to the role. He served two terms as the Putnam County District Attorney in upstate New York, though unlike his mother, he never served as a judge outside of television. Ms. Sheindlin had been a family court judge in New York City from 1982 until the mid-1990s.

Mr. Levy will step away from his role on “Tribunal Justice,” an arbitration-based reality series also created by Ms. Sheindlin, on which he has appeared since its 2023 debut.

“Adam’s Law” comes five years after “Judge Judy” concluded its run in 2021, following 25 seasons that began in 1996. CBS ended the show after network executives determined they had enough episodes to simply repeat the series. Ms. Sheindlin did not take kindly to that decision, telling The Wall Street Journal that the network had “disrespected my creation.”

Following the program’s conclusion, Ms. Sheindlin launched the spinoff series “Judy Justice” on Amazon’s Freevee and Prime Video, featuring real small-claims disputes with a new team that includes her granddaughter, Sarah Rose Levy, as a law clerk.
