When appearing on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show', Judge Judy Sheindlin assures fans that while her Daytime Emmy award-winning show has been axed, she will return with a new show.

AceShowbiz - Popular U.S. courtroom TV show "Judge Judy" is set to end after 25 seasons.
The show debuted in 1996, and Judge Judy Sheindlin has presided over the courtroom ever since, overseeing civil cases with maximum damages of $5,000 (£3,894).
Speaking during an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" to be broadcast on Monday, March 02, however, the star confirmed the Daytime Emmy award-winning show had been axed, and will come to an end after its 2020-2021 season.
"CBS (which syndicates the show) sort of felt, I think, they wanted to optimally utilise the repeats of my program," the 77-year-old shared. "Now they have 25 years of my reruns. What they decided to do is sell a couple of years' worth of reruns."
However, Judy insisted retirement isn't an option, as she announced that she has a new show, "Judy Justice", in the works, which "will be coming out a year later".
"Judge Judy, you'll be able to see next year — a full year, all new shows. The following couple of years, you should be able to get all the reruns that CBS has sold on the stations currently carrying Judge Judy, and Judy Justice will be going elsewhere," she confirmed, adding, "Isn't that fun?".
