This January on CBS Reality, brand new series Birth Days explores the emotional whirlwind that is the first six weeks of a newborn’s life at home with their new family – diapers, dirty dishes and all! On the 19th, we head from the maternity unit to the offices of the world’s best physicians for the awe-inspiring true-life cases documented in Amazing Medical Stories, and the astonishment continues to take hold as we move down-under with eye-opening series, Outback Coroner, which explores some of the most mysterious and high-profile deaths in Australia alongside those who inspect the crime scenes.

And last but certainly not least, Judge Judy Sheindlin continues to unabashedly dish out justice with her trademark hard-hitting putdowns in the 7th series of CBS Reality favourite Judge Judy from the 26th.
