The company hopes a new court show starring the straight-talking judge will help turbocharge its free, ad-supported streaming platform, IMDb TV.
It probably won’t show up on Judge Judy’s newly announced court series for IMDbTV, but the multimillion dollar legal battle between Judith Sheindlin and Rebel Entertainment Partners is turning into even more of a bareknuckle brawl. With a history of indirect litigation over the past few years, both sides are now directly flinging terms like “vicious” and “baseless character assassination” at each other — and that’s just the polite stuff.
Judith Sheindlin is headed to streaming. The Judge Judy star’s untitled new court show (aka Judy Justice) has been greenlighted by Amazon Studios to stream exclusively on IMDb TV, Amazon’s free, ad-supported streaming service.
Judge Judy Rules In Favor Of Mike Bloomberg
Joe Ferullo: “Mike Bloomberg just released a new campaign ad featuring the most trusted jurist in America.

Most voters don’t ultimately make choices based on their favorite television characters. Sheindlin could be different.”
In new court papers in an ongoing lawsuit, it’s also argued that Judith Sheindlin’s emails with a long-time CBS attorney are protected under attorney-client privilege.
Judge Judy Primetime, which airs May 20, will chart the 71-year-old Judith Sheindlin’s transition from a New York Family Court judge to the star of her top-rated syndicated courtroom show.
