Detroit has seen Randi Rossario behind the microphone, in front of the camera and building her own lane across media and entrepreneurship. Now, she is taking a seat behind the judge’s bench.
The Detroit media personality and television host will premiere her new courtroom series, Judge Randi, on Tubi on Sept. 4, bringing her unmistakable personality to a television format generations of viewers have come to know well.
The six-episode first season will center on real-life disputes, disagreements and the kind of complicated situations that can quickly turn a courtroom into must-watch television.
But Rossario is not trying to become the next Judge Judy. She is bringing Randi to the courtroom.
“Judge Randi is about more than settling disputes,” Rossario said. “I wanted to create something that felt entertaining, engaging and relatable while still giving people the courtroom experience they love. You’re going to get justice, but you’re also going to get personality, unexpected moments and a whole lot of entertainment.”
That personality has long been part of Rossario’s appeal.
Known throughout Detroit as a media personality, entrepreneur, content creator and host, Rossario has built a career that crosses television, digital media, business and community-focused work. Judge Randi now places that Detroit-grown career before a national streaming audience.
The series follows the familiar rhythm of courtroom television, allowing viewers to hear opposing sides of a dispute, follow the arguments and watch Rossario ultimately determine how each case will be resolved.
What changes is the person holding the gavel.
Rossario’s approach is designed to be conversational, entertaining and driven by the human conflict behind each case. The first season promises unexpected exchanges and high-energy moments alongside the rulings.
For Rossario, the move also speaks to the changing pathways available to Detroit creatives.
Streaming platforms have widened the television landscape beyond traditional broadcast networks, creating opportunities for personalities with established audiences and distinctive voices to take concepts directly to viewers across the country. Tubi gives Judge Randi a national home while Rossario brings a distinctly Detroit presence with her.
And that matters in a city where entertainers, personalities and entrepreneurs have often built loyal audiences locally before the rest of the country caught on.
Rossario’s latest chapter follows that tradition while pushing her brand into another arena.
Courtroom television has endured because the conflicts are instantly recognizable: money between friends, broken agreements, relationships gone wrong and everyday disputes that leave each side convinced they are right. Judge Randi will lean into those tensions while allowing Rossario to bring humor, personality and her own judgment to the bench.
The result is a courtroom show that does not ask Rossario to leave who she is outside the courtroom doors.
For Detroit viewers who have followed her career, the premiere will offer a chance to see a familiar hometown personality in an entirely new role. For audiences meeting Rossario for the first time, six episodes will serve as the introduction.
The gavel drops Sept. 4.
Judge Randi will stream exclusively on Tubi.
