 Prime Video‘s hit series Jury Duty is returning for a second season on March 20, and Deadline has your first look at the 14 new ensemble cast members.
Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat will feature Alex Bonifer (Kevin Can F**k Himself), Blair Beeken (Pluribus), Emily Pendergast (Veep), Erica Hernandez (True Lies), Jerry Hauck (Paradise), Jim A. Woods (The Office), LaNisa Renee Frederick (Shifting Gears), Marc-Sully Saint-Fleur (Home Economics), Rachel Kaly (Worried), Rob Lathan (Inside Amy Schumer), Ryan Perez (The Break with Michelle Wolf), Stephanie Hodge (The Comeback), Warren Burke (Dead for a Dollar), and Wendy Braun (Atypical).
Season 2 will premiere March 20 with three episodes, followed by two episodes on March 27, and a three-episode finale on April 3.
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 that the entire case is fake, everyone except him is an actor, and everything that happens — inside the courtroom and out — is carefully planned.
As we reported last year, 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 were done in a clandestine manner.
Jake Szymanski directs and executive produces the series. David Bernad also executive produces with Todd Schulman, Nicholas Hatton, Anthony King, Chris Kula, James Marsden and Ruben Fleischer.
