A new TV judge is making his debut, stepping into the spotlight with a tough act to follow. CBS Media Ventures unveiled a trailer on Thursday for “Adam’s Law,” a fresh syndicated daytime courtroom series featuring Adam Levy, the 58-year-old son of the renowned Judge Judy.
Fans of Judge Judy’s sharp wit, no-nonsense approach, and fiery demeanor are in for a treat as Levy appears to bring a similar courtroom energy. In the trailer, Levy showcases quick-witted remarks and cutting banter, reminiscent of his mother’s judicial style.
Initially hesitant to pass on the judicial torch, Judge Judy candidly admits in the trailer that she wouldn’t have encouraged her son to take on the show years ago, as she wasn’t ready to relinquish her role. With a chuckle, the 83-year-old star mentioned that she believes Levy has the talent to surpass her, a thought she finds unsettling.
Executive produced by Judge Judy herself, the new series is scheduled to premiere on September 14, marking a five-year hiatus since the conclusion of the original “Judge Judy” show after a successful 25-season run on CBS. Viewers can anticipate the same level of excitement and commitment to justice that made Judge Judy a household name.
With over 25 years of legal expertise, including terms as a district attorney and experience as a legal educator, Levy emphasizes the importance of honesty for litigants appearing on “Adam’s Law.” Judge Judy has full confidence in her son’s abilities, predicting that his show will rise to the top spot in daytime programming.
Levy, who previously presided over courtroom reality shows, will bring his experience to “Adam’s Law,” airing on various CBS-owned stations across the United States and on Citytv in Canada starting September 14.
