Jury Duty is returning for its highly anticipated second installment, and Prime Video is giving viewers a first look at its latest unbeknownst star, Anthony.
Entitled Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat, Prime Video released the first trailer for the docu-comedy on Thursday, introducing the audience to Anthony, the man who has no idea that he’s surrounded by a bunch of actors. Instead, Anthony believes he’s been hired as a temporary worker attending an annual company retreat for hot sauce company Rockin’ Grandma’s.
The trailer sees Anthony introduced to the new, outlandish group of employees. At part of the center of the season’s drama is the potential sale of Rockin’ Grandma’s, which was originally slated to be taken over by the company head’s son.
“If they think they can just come in and do whatever they feel like they wanna do, they’re in for a rude awakening,” Anthony says at one point in the trailer when the potential buyers of the hot sauce company are introduced. “I care about y’all. This is a family.”
Season two of Jury Duty will hit Prime Video on March 20, with a drop of three episodes. Two additional episodes will hit the streamer on March 27, followed by a three-episode finale on April 3.
Alex Bonifer, Blair Beeken, Emily Pendergast, Erica Hernandez, Jerry Hauck, Jim A. Woods, LaNisa Renee Frederick, Marc-Sully Saint-Fleur, Rachel Kaly, Rob Lathan, Ryan Perez, Stephanie Hodge, Warren Burke and Wendy Braun make up the ensemble cast of Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat.
The debut season of Jury Duty was a beloved hit, spotlighting Ronald Gladden as the unbeknownst star, and James Marsden, who joined to play himself. Going off the name of the show, season one depicted a faux jury selection and trial full of actors who knew the case was fake, except for Ronald, who believed he was in the middle of a real scenario.
A breakout from the series, Gladden landed a two-year overall deal with Amazon MGM Studios in November 2023. The show itself earned four Emmy nominations (including a nod for Marsden), becoming the first title from Amazon’s Freevee to score an Emmy nomination
It was confirmed that the series was renewed for a second season in February 2025, and that said season had already been filmed.
Season two is executive produced by David Bernad (The White Lotus, Bad Trip), Lee Eisenberg (Lessons In Chemistry, The Office), Gene Stupnitsky (Hello Ladies, The Office), Todd Schulman (The Chair Company, Who Is America?), Nicholas Hatton (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, Who Is America?), Jake Szymanski (7 Days in Hell, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates), Anthony King (The Afterparty, Silicon Valley), Chris Kula (Wrecked, Community) and Marsden. Eisenberg and Stupnitsky co-created the series, while Szymanski directs.
