Jury Dutyhas been renewed for an already-filmed season 2, with a tease of a new setting. Season 1 of the Emmy-nominated Prime Video series followed an unaware Ronald Gladden as he joined a jury for a fabricated case. The show followed Gladden and a cast of actors throughout the jury trial process, witheveryone except Gladden being in on the joke that the trial was entirely a hoax. Since then, many cast members and creators have spoken aboutthe likelihood ofJury Dutyseason 2, although Prime Video didn’t provide much update on its development.
Now, according toThe Hollywood Reporter, Prime Video has renewedJury Dutyfor season 2, which has already completed filming. The series will reportedly pivot from the courtroom to a corporate retreat, leaving plenty of room for new hijinks. It is unknown if Gladden, James Marsden, or other cast members will return in the sophomore installment.
What This Means For Jury Duty Season 2
Season 2 Could Release On Prime Video Soon
The announcement ofJury Dutyseason 2 and its unexpected filming completion indicates the new episodes will be released relatively soon. The show is very likely in the post-production stages, although it’s unclear how far the team is in the editing process. However, it’s possible that the premiere window could be sometime in the latter half of 2025. On the other hand,season 2 will likely premiere on Prime Video. This comes after the original season debuted on Freevee, but that service has since shut down.
How 1 Twist In Jury Duty Flipped Its Entire Script
One character was specifically written to make Ronald feel confused and uncomfortable, but his genuine reaction created a big Jury Duty twist.
Season 2 will reportedly take place in a corporate retreat, moving away from the courtroom that defined the show’s first season. This opens the door for the show to delve into the humorous nature of the workplace, playing into the silly mishaps among coworkers. Unfortunately, there are no additional details, but it may likely feature abrand-newJury Dutycast. Last year, Marsden spoke about the renewal chances, indicating that he wouldn’t be involved with the new episodes. He said, “Not with me, I would imagine, and not with the cast.”
Our Take On Jury Duty Season 2 Changing Settings
Jury Duty Could Shift Tone
Season 2 has large shoes to fill as the show’s debut garnered critical acclaim and multiple awards nominations. The new episodeswill presumably continue as a hoax reality show, with a hapless “victim” remaining unaware of what’s actually going on behind the scenes. If Gladden returns toJury Duty, he will most likely join the cast on the side of the acting party rather than as an unaware participant like he was in the first season.
Jury Duty
Cast
Jury Duty is a comedy/documentary series created for Amazon Freevee that explores the inner workings of the American Judicial system - with a twist. The show follows a unique format where a fake court case is created, with the entire experience controlled from inside and outside of the courtroom, and everyone is in on it except for a single juror. The show explores the fictional case through the perspective of the singular outlying juror.
