The Prank Is Back: Jury Duty: Company Retreat Has Arrived — and We've Got the Cast

The Premise

An unsuspecting temp worker is hired at a family-run hot sauce company — without knowing every single coworker around him is an actor, and every moment of the retreat has been carefully orchestrated. Welcome back to Jury Duty.

In 2023, Prime Video gave us one of the most inventive comedies in recent memory: a prank hidden inside a documentary about jury duty, with only one real person in the room. The result was a word-of-mouth sensation that earned Emmy nominations, a Peabody Award, and turned solar contractor Ronald Gladden into an unlikely television icon. Now the show is back — and this time, the courtroom has been traded for a corporate offsite.

Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat centers on Anthony Norman, a 25-year-old from Nashville who signed up thinking he was participating in a documentary about small businesses. What he got instead was a meticulously staged workplace universe — complete with a retiring founder, a predatory private equity firm circling the company, and colleagues playing roles designed to push every button imaginable. The first three episodes dropped March 20th on Prime Video. The final three land April 3rd.
