Justice on Trial OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Judge Judy Sheindlin's new courtroom docuseries
Justice on Trial OTT Release Date: The gavel is back, but this time it hits much harder. Judge Judy Sheindlin, yes, the Judge Judy, is returning to your screens with a brand-new courtroom docuseries. Titled Justice on Trial, the show is set to premiere July 21, 2025, exclusively on Prime Video, with all eight episodes dropping on the same day.
More about Justice on Trial
So what's different this time? In Justice on Trial, Judy steps away from petty TV squabbles and steps into the world of real, high-stakes criminal cases. The series revisits eight landmark trials that have shaped the lives of millions of Americans. Each episode reconstructs the courtroom drama using a combination of reenactments, actual trial transcripts, news footage, and commentary from Judge Sheindlin herself.
In her own words, 'Judges do not make law. They interpret the law. Judges are people. Sometimes they get it wrong… then what happens?' It's this exact question that drives the show. Justice on Trial is an invitation to rethink everything we assume about fairness, verdicts, and the role of the court.
What kind of cases does Justice on Trial deal with?
The cases explored range from issues of free speech and education policy to questions about suppressed evidence in murder trials. For instance, one episode deals with whether the First Amendment truly protects all types of speech. Another takes a hard look at how and why a piece of evidence like a dead body could be deemed inadmissible in court, potentially letting a killer walk free.
While Judy herself holds the bench, the trial segments are brought to life by actors portraying the prosecutors, defence attorneys, and witnesses. Meanwhile, real-life legal voices, such as Judge Tanya Acker and former district attorney Adam Levy, provide context and analysis, ensuring viewers walk away with a better understanding of how the legal system actually works.
Behind the scenes, Sheindlin is also its creator and executive producer. She's joined by longtime collaborators Casey Barber, David Carr, and Randy Douthit, with Amy Freisleben serving as co-executive producer.

Kpop Demon Hunters: Why Were Ahn Hyo Seop and Lee Byung Hun Chosen as Voice Actors in Animated Film? Director Reveals
A K-pop girl group made up of demon hunters versus a rival boy group of demons, who'll win? The exciting storyline unfolding in Kpop Demon Hunters has taken over the world with its animated charm, and now the director, Maggie Kang, has revealed how she chose actors Lee Byung Hun and Ahn Hyo Seop for the voice acting roles, emphasizing their existing acting skills. Speaking about making the story more related to Koreans than Korean-Americans, the creator shared with KBI Zoom, 'Working with active Korean actors was a key mission. This isn't a story about Korean-Americans but about Koreans living in Korea today.' Thus stemmed the idea of having Ahn Hyo Seop and Lee Byung Hun in the film. With the latter's success via the Squid Game series and his foray into the western world, he became the right pick for the role of the villain Gwi Ma. 'As the first Korean artist to break into Hollywood, I deeply respect and appreciate him.' On the other hand, Ahn Hyo Seop, as a K-pop trainee turned actor, became the male lead, Jinu, whose husky presence in the film has melted many hearts around the world. Maggie Kang revealed, 'Working with an actor who embodies the quintessential K-drama male lead was our dream. Ahn Hyo Seop brought authenticity to the story and characters.' About Kpop Demon Hunters With the story of Huntrix, comprising Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, fighting against the Saja Boys, and a quintessential romance breaking through, Kpop Demon Hunters is peak fantasy-action, blended into an animated marvel that is already breaking charts. A sequel for the film seems unlikely at this point; however, fans of the story have hopes for some update. Other voice actors for the film include Arden Cho as Rumi, May Hong as Mira, Yoo Ji Young as Zoey, Yunjin Kim as Celine, Daniel Dae Kim as Healer Han, Ken Jeong as Bobby, Joel Kim Booster as Romance Saja, Alan Lee as Mystery Saja, and SungWon Cho as Abs Saja.
