CBS Media Ventures has confirmed September premiere dates for a raft of syndicated shows, including a shake-up to Judy Sheindlin's courtroom franchise. Sheindlin is handing the gavel of her legal format to her son, Judge Adam Levy, in a new show called Adam's Law, while continuing to front the Emmy-winning Hot Bench herself. The scheduling matters for the syndicated TV market, as it signals continuity for established hits alongside a generational transition for one of daytime television's most durable brands.

The Drew Barrymore Show, Adam's Law and Hot Bench all launch on Monday 15 September, with Barrymore beginning her seventh season backed by her regular "Drew Crew" of contributors. Levy, a two-term district attorney and former presiding judge on other legal shows, takes over Adam's Law, while Sheindlin returns for Hot Bench's 13th season alongside judges Rachel Juarez, Yodit Tewolde and Daniel Mentzer. The same date brings new seasons of Flip Side, Entertainment Tonight, Inside Edition and The Perfect Line, while Larry the Cable Guy's new clip show American Mayhem debuts that week with an exact date still to be confirmed.
