“Amazon Prime Video’s ‘Jury Duty’ Confirmed for Second Season”
Amazon Prime Video’s hit show “Jury Duty” is set to return for a highly anticipated second season, as confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter. The news comes after the production team has already completed filming for the upcoming season.
The first season of “Jury Duty” premiered in 2023 on Amazon’s Freevee platform, captivating audiences with its unique candid camera comedy approach. Starring the unsuspecting Ronald Gladden, the show featured actors such as James Marsden playing exaggerated versions of themselves and other courtroom figures, all while Gladden remained unaware of the elaborate prank unfolding around him.
While Amazon has chosen not to comment on the development, sources reveal that the second season of “Jury Duty” will take a different setting, shifting from the courtroom to a corporate retreat scenario. Filmed in the scenic suburb of Agoura Hills in Los Angeles, the new season promises to bring fresh and exciting challenges for both the cast and viewers.
Showrunner Cody Heller, who expressed her initial fears about executing the candid camera concept, credited the success of the show to Gladden’s genuine reactions and the dedication of the cast. Marsden echoed her sentiments, emphasizing the high stakes involved in delivering a flawless performance within one take, without the risk of the hidden cameras being exposed.
Following the candid camera reveal, Gladden’s career received a significant boost, leading to collaborations with top agencies and a deal with Amazon to create and star in new content. His bond with Marsden and the rest of the cast remains strong, reflecting the camaraderie built during the show’s production.
“Jury Duty” was created by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, who also served as executive producers for the first season alongside Heller and a talented team of industry professionals. With the success of the initial season and the anticipation surrounding the upcoming installment, “Jury Duty” continues to be a standout series in Amazon Prime Video’s lineup.
Stay tuned for more updates and behind-the-scenes insights as the second season of “Jury Duty” prepares to delight audiences with its fresh approach to comedy and storytelling.
