Judge Judy to move her gavel to streaming service IMDb TV

LOS ANGELES (AP) —

Everyone’s going to streaming, including Judge Judy. The broadcast TV staple’s next act will be with IMDb TV, Amazon’s free digital service.

Judith Sheindlin, whose long-running syndicated courtroom show “Judge Judy” will end production in 2021, will be dispensing justice on an exclusive show in the U.S. for IMDb TV, it was announced Thursday.

“I’m over the moon to be in business with Amazon Studios and continuing this incredible journey with them on a new platform is so exciting,” Sheindlin said in a statement.

The title and debut date for the new courtroom show weren’t announced.

“The Untitled Judge Judy Sheindlin Project will feature no-nonsense, expeditious Judge Sheindlin’s signature adjudication style with a new array of cases, litigants and judgments,” according to the announcement.

Last March, Sheindlin said “Judge Judy,” which debuted in 1996, would end production in 2021. But the show will continue to be

TV Ratings: ‘Big Brother’ Finale Dips as ‘The Masked Singer’ Wins

Now that the Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the World Series, Fox was back to its regular programming on Wednesday night, with “The Masked Singer” returning top the charts, as per usual.

The singing show scored a 1.6 rating among adults 18-49 and drew 5.9 million total viewers. While that reprsents a slight dip from last week, it’s also almost exactly on par with its season 4 debut. Right afterwards, “I Can See Your Voice” lost a little ground from last week, falling to a 1.0 rating and 3.7 million viewers.

“Big Brother” aired its two-hour season 22 finale last night to a 1.0 rating and around 3.8 million viewers, that’s down a 0.2 ratings point and around 400,000 viewers from last season’s curtain call. Prior to that, “The Amazing Race” came in at a 0.7 and just over 4 million pairs of eyeballs.

Over on NBC, the finale of “The

Susan Wokoma: ‘I thought that TV belonged to size zero models’ | Television & radio

Susan Wokoma arrives at Regent’s Park in central London in a nostalgic mood. “I was here last summer,” she says, “and it was the best summer of my life”. Wokoma, who describes herself as having been “terrified of Shakespeare” faced her fears as Bottom in Dominic Hill’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Open Air Theatre in this park, warming up on the grass each day. She was unsure about playing the comic foil, until Hill told her what he had heard about her. “He said, I know somebody who was in your year at Rada [Royal Academy of Dramatic Art] and they said your Juliet was the best they have ever seen. It was a show to our year and teachers, so for this secret thing to be brought out as evidence … I was like, shit, I’ve got to do it now!”

Click here to read the full article.

EXCLUSIVE: The next projected layoffs stemming from NBCUniversal’s recent restructuring are starting next month, sources tell Deadline.

November 12 is penciled in as the target date as company brass are eying mid-next month for the second wave of staff reductions to begin, we hear. The cuts will likely come in waves, one in mid-November and one to follow in late December or early 2021, with as many as 150-300 employees affected.

NBCUniversal’s recently formed Television and Streaming division, led by Chairman Mark Lazarus, is expected to take the brunt of the layoffs.
