Judge Judy Sheindlin‘s son is ready to follow in her TV footsteps.
CBS Media Ventures announced on Wednesday, December 17, that Adam Levy will host the brand-new syndicated courtroom series Adam’s Law. The series, set to premiere in 2026, was announced as a part of a new lineup of syndicated shows, including the America’s Funniest Home Videos spinoff, American Mayhem.
“Adam is a spectacular lawyer. As a judge, his search for the truth is unparalleled,” Sheindlin said of her son in a statement, per multiple outlets. “In a justice system where the truth is often diminished by the lazy or inept, Adam is the gold standard for judicial excellence.”
Sheindlin’s Queen Bee Productions and CBS Media Ventures will produce Adam’s Law, with Sheindlin and Roland Tieh serving as executive producers. According to Deadline, CBS Media Ventures is currently in talks with station groups about the show.
Sheindlin became a household name with her long-running courtroom series Judge Judy, which ran for 25 seasons from 1996 to 2021. She returned to TV with the Amazon Freevee spinoff, Judy Justice, in 2021, and Prime Video’s Justice on Trial earlier this year.
