Skip to content Her plans for Judyverse, her executive producing work, and the new courtroom program featuring Adam Levy all point toward continued activity away from the camera.
For viewers who have followed Sheindlin since the beginning of Judge Judy, the change represents the closing of an important era. Her original program became one of the most successful courtroom shows in television history, while her later work allowed her to continue that familiar format in a new setting.
Now, after decades spent appearing before millions of viewers, Sheindlin is preparing to let others take the on-screen role while she concentrates on what happens behind the scenes.
The end of one chapter
At 83, Sheindlin is choosing a different way to remain involved with the television industry. Her decision to step away from the camera follows an extraordinary run that began with Judge Judy and continued through Judy Justice.
Although the familiar television appearances may soon come to an end, her work as an executive producer and her involvement in new projects mean that her connection to television will continue.
For now, October represents an important point in that transition. Once Judy Justice concludes, Sheindlin expects to leave regular on-camera work behind and devote more of her time to producing, developing new ideas, and spending time with her family.
After almost 30 years in front of television cameras, the next chapter of Judge Judy’s career will take place largely behind them.
