“Judge Judy,” the source of some of our childhood nightmares, will be coming to an end.
After 25 years, the tough-as-nails courtroom reality show will come to an end in 2021. The CBS series now has a treasure trove of reruns to sell to syndicated networks, and Judy Sheindlin herself is showing no signs of slowing.
The reality star will be returning to a new series, “Judy Justice” next year. As for as what network it will premiere on, Judy’s not saying.
A former prosecutor and Manhattan family court judge, Sheindlin didn’t really become Judge Judy until 1996 when her show premiered on CBS. Since then, she’s become a household name for whenever a parent was being a bit too strict on their kids.
Sheindlin announced the series’s conclusion on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” Watch the clip from Monday’s show below.
