Judge Judy is sadly coming to an end.
During an upcoming interview on Ellen, host Judge Judy Sheindlin revealed that her hit show is coming to an end after 25 years with the upcoming 2020-2021 season.
“CBS [which distributes the show] sort of felt, I think, they wanted to optimally utilize the repeats of my program,” the 77-year-old judge shared. “Now they have 25 years of my reruns. What they decided to do is sell a couple of years’ worth of reruns.”
However, this doesn’t mean Judy is hanging up her gavel just yet – she also announced that she has a new show in the works!
“But I’m not tired, so Judy Justice will be coming out a year later,” Judy revealed. When asked what network the show will be on, Judy coyly replied, “I can’t tell you yet.”
Judy continued: “Judge Judy, you’ll be able to see next year — a full year, all new shows. The following couple of years, you should be able to get all the reruns that CBS has sold on the stations currently carrying Judge Judy, and Judy Justice will be going elsewhere. Isn’t that fun?”
Judge Judy first premiered back in 1996.
