A new season of the most complex prank show is on its way, and this time, it's moving from the courtroom to a company retreat. Amazon Prime Video on Thursday released the first teaser for Jury Duty Season 2, and fans are already hyped for the mayhem to come.
The teaser recaps the first season of Jury Duty, which premiered on Amazon's since-defunct Freevee in April 2023. The first season of the show follows Ronald Gladden, a contractor from Southern California who thinks that he's filming a documentary about the juror process. Instead, everyone around Gladden — from his fellow jurors to the judge to the defendant and plaintiff in the court case — are actors. That includes James Marsden, who plays a heightened, very Hollywood version of himself. As the jury is sequestered, everyone that Gladden interacts with over the three-week filming period is an actor, and Gladden has no idea he's living in his very own version of The Truman Show.
Of course, the popularity of Jury Duty meant that the show's premise couldn't be replicated exactly for a sophomore season. This time around, Jury Duty is taking the same concept, but putting a new unsuspecting man in a different scenario by sending him to a fake company retreat.
The teaser reveals shots of what appear to be a camp, where an annual retreat for a business is being held. Except, of course, "this is not a real company," the text on the video reveals. "It's fake. Everyone involved is an actor. Except Anthony."
While we don't meet Anthony in the teaser, we do hear his voice. "If I go home and tell my parents about this stuff," he says, "they're gonna be like, 'You're lying.'"
According to a synopsis, the new show — titled Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat — the show "captures a corporate offsite event at a family-owned hot sauce company from the perspective of Anthony, a recently hired temporary worker."
"Unbeknownst to Anthony, the entire experience is staged, every colleague around him is performing a role, and each moment — whether in conference rooms or during downtime — has been meticulously orchestrated," the synopsis continues. "As the founder prepares to step down, the getaway transforms into a clash between big corporate ambitions and small business values, with control of the company hanging in the balance."
For anyone who did not watch the first season of Jury Duty and is concerned about the well-being of its star Gladden, things worked out. The final episode of the series saw Gladden — beloved by fans and the crew for his kind, empathetic behavior, especially in the face of the chaos — being gifted $100,000 for his participation, and getting to see behind-the-scenes of the show.
And there's no bad blood between Gladden and the Jury Duty team for the trickery. Gladden told People in April 2023, "I'd stay in contact with everyone. And it's not just the cast members that you saw. I'm talking about the camera operators, I'm talking about the EPs, the showrunners, the sound technicians, literally everyone. They're all amazing."
Since Jury Duty premiered, Gladden has built his own media career, signing a two-year overall deal with Amazon MGM Studios in November 2023.
Gladden promoted the new season of Jury Duty on his Instagram profile by sharing the teaser. "Before anyone tries to get information out of me, just know that I kept Jury Duty a secret for 14 months, even from my family, so you just gotta wait," he wrote in the caption.
And fans are excited. One commented on Gladden's Instagram post, "I CANT WAIT OMG ANTHONY PLEASE BE AS PURE AND LOVELY AS RONALD." Another added, "I cannot wait. I hope yall picked a guy who handles it as well as Ronald did. It was so endearing to watch."
The first three episodes of Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat will be released on Prime Video on March 20. Two episodes will drop on March 27, and a three-episode finale will be released on April 3.
