Jury Duty will return to Amazon for a second season.

Airing back in 2023, Jury Duty is one of the most unique and surprising comedies of recent years. A docu-style series, it follows the inner workings of an American jury trial through the eyes of one particular juror, Ronald Gladden. What Gladden doesn’t know is that the entire case is fake, everyone except him is an actor, including James Marsden (playing himself), and everything that happens – inside the courtroom and out – is carefully planned.

The cast includes Alan Barinholtz, Susan Berger (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Cassandra Blair (Hacks), David Brown, Kirk Fox (Reservation Dogs), Ross Kimball, Pramode Kumar, Trisha LaFache, Mekki Leeper (The Sex Lives of College Girls), Brandon Loeser, Edy Modica (Made for Love), Rashida “Sheedz” Olayiwola (South Side), Kerry O’Neill (Murderville), Whitney Rice, Maria Russell, Ishmel Sahid, Ben Seaward, Ron Song, and Evan Williams.

The series is executive produced by David Bernad (The White Lotus, Bad Trip), Lee Eisenberg(WeCrashed, The Office), Ruben Fleischer (Superstore), Nicholas Hatton(Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, Who Is America?), Cody Heller (Dummy), Todd Schulman (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, Brüno, Who Is America?), Gene Stupnitsky (Hello Ladies, The Office), Jake Szymanski (The Package), and Andrew Weinberg (Great Minds with Dan Harmon). Eisenberg and Stupnitsky co-created the series, Heller serves as showrunner, and Szymanski directs.

“Jury Duty originated with a question: Was it possible to make a sitcom like The Office about a trial, populate it with brilliant comedic performers, and put a real person at the center of the show who doesn’t realize he’s surrounded by actors?” said executive producer Todd Schulman. “We honestly had no idea… Thank God we pulled it off.”

Produced by Amazon Studios, the genre-bending, multi-camera comedy premiered on Amazon Freevee, Amazon’s free-with-adverts brand that sits within the Amazon Prime Video platform.

Now, while Amazon is quietly making moves to fold Freevee into Amazon Prime Video, Variety reports that the jury has been summoned again for a second season – and, in fact, has already been filmed.

Variety adds that Season 2 will be set at a corporate retreat rather than a courtroom, although Amazon hasn’t officially commented on the news.
