A little less than three years ago, Jury Duty introduced audiences to a very different kind of streaming series. Blending fiction and reality, the show placed an ordinary guy unknowingly into a wholly manufactured environment (specifically a jury box in a fake courtroom), and it was both fascinating and funny to see how he reacted to various revelations and developments. It turned out to be an unexpected, feel-good hit, and while I’m stoked about the details that have just been revealed for the second season, I also still have some questions.
Prime Video has announced that the second run of the show will be called Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat, and if you can’t tell by the title, it won’t just be running back the same setup from Season 1. Instead of another courtroom, the principal focus of the new episodes will be a fictional family-owned hot sauce company putting on a “corporate offsite event”, and the unwitting man at the center of the story is a temp worker named Anthony. He will find himself caught in the middle of a drama that will see the founder getting set to step down and a conflict arise about the future of the business.
