Come October, longtime Greenwich resident and courtroom television icon Judy Sheindlin, best known as Judge Judy, is saying goodbye to her series on Amazon Prime Video.
"Judy Justice," which launched on Amazon Prime Video in the fall of 2021, will end Oct. 22 after four seasons and two Daytime Emmy Awards, according to Gary Rosen, Sheindlin's spokesman.
"She's not retiring, she's rewiring," Rosen said. "Her son's new courtroom show, 'Adam's Law' – which she is the creator and executive producer – begins Monday in national syndication."
With over 25 years of diverse legal experience, Adam Levy, Sheindlin's son, has served two terms as Putnam County District Attorney in New York, according to his bio on Amazon Prime Video's website. He was also the founding member of the Putnam County Intelligence Committee, "which united law enforcement across jurisdictions to share information and more effectively fight crime within NYS and federally," his bio states.
Also on Amazon Prime Video, Levy is one of three judges on the platform's "Tribunal Justice," which was created by Sheindlin.
Born in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant Neighborhood, Sheindlin graduated from New York Law School and earned a tough but righteous reputation as a prosecutor and judge in the New York Family Court system.
She later accepted an offer from CBS to star in a reality courtroom series, "Judge Judy," which debuted in 1996. "Judge Judy" became one of the nation's most popular shows throughout its 25-year run, routinely drawing nine to 10 million daily viewers.
Scheindlin's success helped her and her spouse, Judge Jerry Scheindlin, in financing the $13.2 million purchase of a Greenwich property in 2007, where they built a 17,000-square-foot mansion. She maintained her primary residence in Greenwich despite owning properties across the United States, including a mansion in Newport, Rhode Island, that was purchased for over $9 million in 2018.
"Judge Judy" aired its final season in 2021. In 2025, Scheindlin starred in Prime Video's "Justice on Trial," where she and her legal team re-examined a series of notorious legal cases throughout history in which the legal outcome ultimately felt unjust, according to Prime Video.
