JURY DUTY Season 2 Sets Prime Video Premiere Date With COMPANY RETREAT Premise
Prime Video has announced that they are bringing us a second season of the hilarious original hidden camera reality comedy series Jury Duty.
This season is titled Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat, and it will launch on March 20th with three episodes, followed by two episodes on March 27th, and a three-episode finale on April 3rd. It will be available in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
Co-created and executive produced by Lee Eisenberg (Lessons In Chemistry, The Office) and Gene Stupnitsky (Hello Ladies, The Office), Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat is a documentary-style comedy that 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.
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.
Jury Duty’s first installment chronicled the inner workings of an American jury trial through the eyes of one particular juror, Ronald Gladden. Gladden is unaware the entire case is fake, everyone except him is an actor, and everything that happens — inside the courtroom and out — is carefully planned.
As previously reported, the theme of the new installment is David Vs. Goliath, which centers on a small business going on a company retreat.
To protect the integrity of the premise with the regular person not realizing that they are part of a scripted TV show, just like they did with Season 1, the casting and production of the new installment was done in secret.
The first season of this show was so incredibly funny and well done. I look forward to seeing what they do with this next season.
