Judge Judy's son will have his own network courtroom show, CBS announces

The gavel stays in the family: CBS announces courtroom show starring Judge Judy's son

Adam's Law, starring Adam Levy, is set to join CBS Media Ventures' syndicated fall 2026 lineup — with Judge Judy herself executive producing.

"Adam is a spectacular lawyer. As a judge, his search for the truth is unparalleled. In a justice system where the truth is often diminished by the lazy or inept, Adam is the gold standard for judicial excellence."

— Judge Judy Sheindlin, executive producer

CBS Media Ventures has officially announced Adam's Law, a new first-run syndicated courtroom series starring Adam Levy — the son of television icon Judith "Judge Judy" Sheindlin. The show is slated to debut as part of the network's expanded fall 2026 syndication slate, marking what CBS called "a landmark moment in TV history."

Levy, 57, brings serious legal credentials to the role. A two-term former district attorney in Putnam County, New York, he previously appeared as a presiding judge on Tribunal Justice and Justice on Trial. Adam's Law will mark his first solo courtroom series — a milestone in a career that has long unfolded in his legendary mother's shadowThe show is produced by Sheindlin's Queen Bee Productions in association with CBS Media Ventures, with Sheindlin and longtime collaborator Roland Tieh serving as executive producers. CBS describes the format as a "bold new take on the courtroom" — expected to follow the fast-paced, no-nonsense style that made Judge Judy a cultural phenomenon for 25 seasons, while letting Levy's own personality and prosecutorial background shape its tone.

The announcement is notable given the complicated history between Sheindlin and CBS. She ended Judge Judy in 2021 in what was widely described as an acrimonious split with the network before launching Judy Justice on Amazon Freevee. The new collaboration signals a reunion of sorts — and a bet that the courtroom genre still has a next generation to offer.

Adam's Law joins CBS Media Ventures' fall 2026 slate alongside America's Funniest Home Videos (hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro) and a new weekend series called American Mayhem. More details on format and premiere date are expected in the coming months.
