Judge Judy bailiff says he was never consulted before recast.
One of the crown jewels of daytime television programming, reality courtroom show “Judge Judy,” will take a new form in 2021 as a spin-off series on an entirely new platform — this time, without a familiar face.
Bailiff Petri Hawkins Byrd, who appeared alongside Judge Judy Sheindlin in over 4,000 episodes during the Emmy Award-winning show’s 25-year run, does not appear in the trailer for the show’s upcoming adaptation “Judy Justice,” causing an uproar from longtime fans.

Byrd, who was passed up for the gig in favor of retired Los Angeles probation officer Kevin Rasco, broke his silence on the omission in an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly on Friday, revealing that Shiendlin never even contacted him with an offer.
Instead, Byrd said he found out about the new series like every other “Judge Judy” fan, when Shiendlin announced it on the “Ellen Degeneres Show” in March 2020.
