Judge Judy is getting a scripted TV show based on her life and career

The people are real, the cases are real, this story is real.

Many of us will know Judge Judy from, well, Judge Judy - the long-running, real-life courtroom series that sees a septuagenarian dispense brutal putdowns and swift justice on people who dare to speak out of turn in front of her. The show, which has now become a pop culture sensation, nets the formidable judge a whopping $47,000,000 annually.

However, that's not enough apparently for Judy, who's now signed a deal with CBS to develop a scripted television series based on her life and career, according to Variety. Sheindlin will co-write the opening episode with Michael Chernuchin, who previously served as a showrunner on Law & Order and has previously worked on Rogue, 24 and Black Sails.

The best part? The show will be called Her Honor. CHRIST, WE ARE SO READY FOR THIS SHOW.
