*We have an exclusive clip from the new drama series “Judge Me Not,” which is loosely based on the life of Judge Lynn Toler.
Toler serves as creator and EP/writer of the series led by actress Chyna Layne. Per the series synopsis: “Judge Me Not is the story of Zelma Jay Johnson (Chyna Lane), an exceptionally bright, young Black woman who struggles with mental health issues, a ludicrous family, and volatile love life. We join her as she takes on her new role as a judge in a court full of outrageous characters both in front of and behind the bench.”
“As her passionate relationship with her live-in lover takes them both on a ride, she finds herself caught in the crosshairs of a psychological thriller that puts her life at risk,” the description continues.”

Per Shadow and Act, Toler said in a statement, “A municipal court is a fascinating, often amusing, study of human nature. Its where regular people go when they get caught doing irregular things. Judge Me Not presents you with that world through the eyes of a woman who’s not so regular herself.”
“Judge Me Not” premieres May 25 on AMC Networks’ ALLBLK.
