Jury Duty Show Returns March 20 With Unwitting Star Anthony and 14-Strong Ensemble
Prime Video’s jury duty show returns March 20 with a new premise that places an unsuspecting temporary worker at the center of a staged corporate retreat. The second season follows Anthony as a family-owned hot sauce company, Rockin’ Grandma’s, grapples with a possible sale while a cast of 14 actors circles the manufactured drama.
Jury Duty Show Season 2 Cast and Release Schedule
Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat opens on March 20 with a three-episode drop, followed by two episodes on March 27 and a three-episode finale on April 3. The ensemble includes 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 — 14 performers who will play the company’s employees. The series frames the retreat through the eyes of Anthony, a recently hired temp who believes he is participating in an ordinary workplace getaway.
Anthony, Rockin’ Grandma’s and the Staged Retreat
The season’s drama pivots on the potential sale of Rockin’ Grandma’s. Anthony enters the retreat unaware that every colleague around him is acting and that the event has been meticulously staged. The trailer presents him meeting a series of eccentric employees and confronting outside bidders; at one point he warns, "If they think they can just come in and do whatever they feel like they wanna do, they’re in for a rude awakening. I care about y’all. This is a family. " Because the production kept casting and filming clandestine, the premise — a single real participant interacting with actors — remains intact, producing the unpredictable reactions that shape the season’s narrative.
Creators, Producers and the Decision to Keep the Premise Private
The series was co-created and executive produced by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, with Jake Szymanski directing and executive producing. Additional executive producers on season two include David Bernad, Todd Schulman, Nicholas Hatton, Anthony King, Chris Kula and James Marsden. The clandestine approach to casting and production was deliberate: producers concealed the scripted elements to preserve the integrity of the central conceit, which in turn determines the show’s emotional beats and the authenticity of Anthony’s responses.
What makes this notable is how production choices shape viewer experience — the decision to film covertly directly causes the unpredictable interpersonal moments that define the series, rather than relying on conventional improvisation among a fully aware ensemble. The earlier season’s format proved consequential; the debut installment centered on Ronald Gladden and led to industry recognition, including four Emmy nominations, and helped Gladden secure a two-year overall deal with Amazon MGM Studios in November 2023. Those outcomes cleared the path for a follow-up season, which was confirmed in February 2025 and had already been filmed by the time of that announcement.
Season two maintains the documentary-style comedy approach but relocates the setting from a courtroom to corporate offsites and conference rooms — spaces where private ambitions, family loyalty and outside investment collide. As control of the company becomes a contested issue, the staged retreat becomes a pressure cooker that tests both the unsuspecting lead and the actors who must keep the fiction intact.
The trailer, released ahead of the premiere, offers the first footage of Anthony navigating this constructed workplace and introduces the cast of characters who will challenge him. With a clear release timetable, a defined ensemble of 14, and a production team that intentionally shielded the premise, the series arrives with a format and strategy designed to reproduce the core surprise that made the show notable in its first season.
