Jennifer Maas TV Business WriterIMDb TV is keeping Judge Judy Sheindlin in session. Amazon’s free streamer has renewed “Judy Justice” for a second season after the first batch of episodes drew 25 million hours viewed by users to date.Sheindlin’s second act after the end of the long-running, iconic daytime series “Judge Judy,” “Judy Justice” launched on IMDb TV last November.
Per the Amazon-owned ad-supported platform, “Judy Justice” has grown to be IMDb TV’s top original program in both “first streams and hours watched.” New episodes of Season 1 will continue to rollout every weekday through April 15 on-demand and on the “Judy Justice” live linear channel.The case of “Judy Justice” is an important one for Amazon’s IMDb TV, a relatively small player in the streaming wars with fewer original offerings, especially compared to Amazon’s pay option Prime Video. IMDb TV is using Sheindlin’s wide-reaching personal brand infused into “Judy Justice” to test the appetite for daytime-type shows on streaming, which has yet to match broadcast and local networks’ place in the genre.
“Judy Justice” is an arbitration-based reality court show presided over by Judge Sheindlin, a retired Manhattan family court judge, who adjudicates real-life high-stakes claims. Sheindlin is joined in the courtroom by bailiff Kevin Rasco, a retired Los Angeles probation officer; court stenographer Whitney Kumar, a board-certified court reporter in the state of California; and law clerk Sarah Rose, a law student and Judge Sheindlin’s granddaughter, extending the legacy of the television and courtroom pioneer by bringing in a new generation of legal analysis.
