After a record-setting 25 seasons on CBS, the Judge Judy courtroom reality show will be seeing its last episode in the near future. Judge Judy Sheindlin made the announcement during a pretaped appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
“I’ve had a 25-year-long marriage with CBS, and it’s been successful. Next year will be our 25th season, silver anniversary,” said the 77-year-old judge.
The show’s first airing episode debuted in September of 1996, making this upcoming season its last season of new episodes. Don’t get sad though! In a snippet of the interview, Judge Judy explains that she is expecting a new show because she is “not tired,” but when asked about which network it will be on Judge Judy stated: “I can’t tell you yet.”
Reports state the new show will be titled Judy Justice and is set to come out next year. “Judge Judy, you’ll be able to see next year. A full year, all new shows. With a ponytail!” the Emmy Award-winning judge explained. “The following couple of years, you should be able to catch all the reruns that CBS has sold to the stations that are currently carrying Judge Judy, and Judy Justice will be going elsewhere. Isn’t that fun?”
The air date for Judy Justice has not yet been released as fans anticipate the Tv favorite’s next move.
