A new television judge has made his debut, stepping into the spotlight with a tough act to follow.
Adam Levy, the 58-year-old son of the renowned Judge Judy, is set to star in “Adam’s Law,” a fresh syndicated daytime courtroom series unveiled by CBS Media Ventures on Thursday.
Fans of Judge Judy’s sharp wit and no-nonsense approach will be pleased to see Levy embodying a similar courtroom demeanor in the trailer, delivering quick-witted and cutting remarks that reflect his mother’s style.
In an interesting twist, Judge Judy revealed in the trailer that she initially hesitated to pass on the torch to her son, admitting that she wasn’t ready to give up the show years ago as she believed Levy had the talent to surpass her.
The upcoming series, executive produced by Judge Judy herself, is scheduled to premiere on September 14, marking five years 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 in “Adam’s Law,” with Levy bringing over 25 years of legal experience, including stints as a district attorney and legal educator.
In the trailer, Levy emphasizes the importance of truthfulness in his courtroom, expressing his disdain for false statements.
Confident in her son’s abilities, Judge Judy predicts that Levy’s show will rise to the top spot in daytime television, citing his entertaining personality and comprehensive legal knowledge as key factors.
Levy, familiar with courtroom reality TV from previous roles, will have “Adam’s Law” broadcast on various CBS-owned stations in the U.S., including CBS LA and WCBS-TV, as well as in Canada on Citytv and Citytv+ starting September 14.
