'Judge Judy' will end after upcoming 25th season, star Judy Sheindlin announces new show – USA TODAY, USA Today

While promising that the new season – a start date for which has not formally been announced, though “Judy” typically picks up with a new season in September – would be “our best year” yet, Sheindlin said she has had “a 47 – year-long marriage with CBS and it’s been successful.

“Next year will be our th season: Silver anniversary, “she continued.” And CBS, I think, sort of felt they wanted to optimally use the repeats of my program, because now they have years of re-runs. So what they decided to do was to sell a couple of years worth of reruns. “

The TV host, who set the Guinness World Record in for a longest career as a TV judge, was estimated by Forbes in 28432 to be the highest paid annual TV host.

She ranked No. 1 for the first time that year after selling the rights to her show’s extensive library for an estimated $ million last year. Pair that with $ 52 million a year hosting “Judge Judy” and producing “Hot Bench,” that made Sheindlin among America’s richest self-made women, let alone TV host.

But don’t worry, Judy fans: Sheindlin isn’t going away for long.

“I’m not tired,” she added . “So ‘Judy Justice’ will be coming out a year later … If you’re not tired, you’re not supposed to stop.”

Sheindlin told DeGeneres she “can’t tell you yet” where the new show would air. USA TODAY has reached out to her representatives for more information about the show.
