Why did Judge Judy end? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There have been multiple reports about why Judge Judy ended after 25 seasons in summer 2021. According to Deadline<\/a>, Judy Sheindlin revealed that tensions between her and CBS warranted the conclusion of the long-running series. Another contributing factor was CBS\u2019 handling of the show Sheindlin created called Hot Bench. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Per Entertainment Weekly<\/a>, she said that she felt disrespected by the network because she thought they gambled with replacing it with The Drew Barrymore Show in some markets. A final reason was CBS\u2019 purchase of Sheindlin\u2019s Judge Judy episodes, which prevented her from selling them to another network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some fans have other theories about why Judge Judy ended though. A fan named SpikesEvilTwin on Reddit<\/a> wrote the reason behind it was: \u201cGreed. She wanted more and CBS wouldn’t pay. They already paid her a boatload of $$ for the show library, which they will play forever, basically she got out played and got pissed and walked.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another user, mrbeck1, added: \u201cShe probably ultimately did it so she could totally produce the show herself. Have more control and make more money.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
