Each episode features two cases and begins with Romesh Ranganathan entering the courtroom to flashing lights and hip-hop music.

On 23 January 2018, UKTV announced that Judge Romesh had been commissioned for ten half-hour episodes.

Five extra cases lasting 10 minutes were released on UKTV Play under the title Judge Romesh: Justice Never Sleeps.

[1] Commissioned by Joe McVey, the programme was produced by Hungry Bear Media for Dave, a British channel owned by UKTV.

[1] Ranganathan says that he did no legal research prior to filming, as he wanted to judge based on instincts.

Howard commented on social media that she had felt out of place as clerk and wanted to spend more time with her son.

Bennett writes that the show is "not a revolutionary formula" and criticises the short ten-minute slot for each case.

He criticises that Howard is underused, but praises that the casting of Ranganathan as judge perfectly fits his "grumpy, intolerant and judgmental" comedy persona.

"[14] Reviewing the second series, Barbara Speed of i gave the programme three out of five stars, praising it as a reality television show that demonstrates "you can combine members of the public, their problems and some good-natured mockery without tipping over into exploitation".
