Get ready for a packed month of television! CBS Media Ventures has revealed the premiere dates for a bunch of new and returning shows hitting your screens this September. Whether you love talk shows, courtroom drama, or entertainment news, there’s something for everyone starting Monday, September 14.
The Big Headliners: Three Major Shows Return on the Same Day
Mark your calendars! September 14 is going to be a huge night for TV fans. Three major series are kicking off their new seasons all on the same Monday.
1. The Drew Barrymore Show – Season 7
America’s favorite optimistic host is back for a seventh season! Drew Barrymore returns with her signature energy and her amazing "Drew Crew" of experts.
Meet the Drew Crew:
- Chris Appleton – Celebrity Hairstylist
- Sunny Anderson – Chef

- Ross Mathews – Drew’s News Co-Anchor
- Zanna Roberts Rassi – Fashion & Beauty Expert
- Danny Seo – Sustainable Living Guru
- Will Taylor – Cheerful Designer

Fun Fact: The Drew Barrymore Show is currently the No. 2 syndicated talk show in the ratings!
2. Adam’s Law – Brand New Series!
Judy Sheindlin (yes, Judge Judy herself) is stepping back and passing the gavel to her son, Judge Adam Levy.
Who is Judge Adam Levy?
- Served two terms as a District Attorney (that’s the top prosecutor for a county)
- Previously presided as a judge on Tribunal Justice and Justice on Trial
- Created by Judy Sheindlin
This is a fresh legal show where real people bring their real disputes to a real judge—who just happens to be the son of the most famous TV judge ever!
3. Hot Bench – Season 13
Judy Sheindlin’s Emmy-winning courtroom show returns for a lucky 13th season. Unlike traditional court shows with one judge, Hot Bench uses a panel of three judges who discuss and debate the case together before ruling.
The Season 13 Panel:
- Judge Rachel Juarez
- Judge Yodit Tewolde
- Judge Daniel Mentzer
- Bailiff Gina Findley (keeps order in the court!)
Note: Both Adam’s Law and Hot Bench are created by Judy Sheindlin. She’s building a whole TV courtroom universe!

FAQ: Your Questions Answered
1. What does "syndicated" mean?
Syndicated means the show isn’t tied to one specific network (like CBS, NBC, or ABC). Instead, it’s sold to local TV stations across the country. So The Drew Barrymore Show might air on Channel 5 in New York, Channel 7 in Chicago, and Channel 10 in Los Angeles—all at different times. Check your local TV guide!
2. Is Judy Sheindlin (Judge Judy) retiring?
Not exactly! She ended her long-running show Judge Judy in 2021, but she’s still creating and producing new shows like Hot Bench and Adam’s Law. She’s behind the scenes as the creator and executive producer.
3. Who is Adam Levy and why does he get his own show?
Adam Levy is Judy Sheindlin’s son. But he’s not just "the judge’s kid"—he’s a two-term elected District Attorney and has already served as a TV judge on Tribunal Justice and Justice on Trial. He has real legal credentials!
4. What’s the difference between Hot Bench and Adam’s Law?
- Hot Bench = Three judges hear the case together, deliberate on camera, and decide as a panel.
- Adam’s Law = One judge (Adam Levy) hears the case and rules solo, more like a traditional courtroom show.
5. How can I find out what time these shows air in my city?
Since these are syndicated shows, air times vary by market. The easiest way:
- Visit TVGuide.com or Zap2it.com
- Enter your zip code
- Search for the show name
- It’ll show you the channel, date, and time for your area!
Happy watching!
