Back in 2023, Amazon Freevee released a show so unique and experimental, it was shocking that they even pulled it off. Jury Duty, which premiered on April 7, 2023, is a mockumentary series in which one real person, Ronald Gladden, thinks he’s ordered to attend to jury duty, only for everyone around him to be an actor messing with him at every turn. The series went on to become a major streaming hit for Freevee and Prime Video, earning not only a Season 2 renewal, but four Emmy nominations.
So, of course, stakes were high for the second season. After all, with the first season out in the world, would creators Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky be able to pull off another successful season? As it turns out, the answer is a resounding yes. On March 20, 2026, Prime Video released the first three episodes of the sophomore season, titled Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat, and the installment proves that while the series is certainly a unique and ambitious piece of TV, it’s a formula that works time and time again.
What Is ‘Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat’ About?
Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat follows Anthony Norman, a temporary assistant hired by the family-owned hot sauce company Rockin’ Grandma’s to help out during their annual week-long retreat. The retreat is also a major turning point for the small but mighty team as CEO Doug (Jerry Hauk) is getting ready to retire and hand off the company to his tone-deaf son, Dougie (Alex Bonifer). From the very first episode, Anthony realizes that the retreat will be far from drama-free when his boss, the well-meaning HR Director Kevin (Ryan Perez), proposes to a coworker and leaves abruptly when the proposal goes awry. With no other choice, Anthony is left to pick up the pieces and rise to the occasion to help the company stay together.
In each episode, Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat follows sitcom beats being played out in real time for Anthony that comedy audiences know and love. Storylines so far include Dougie’s disastrous new project launch for the company, Other Anthony (Rob Lathan) finding a sex toy and deciding to drink from it, and a robbery of a box of Cool Ranch Doritos. In addition to all the hilarious moments, the series also creates a classic underdog story with Rockin’ Grandma’s being a small company on the verge of being bought out by a larger corporate entity, a situation that’s far too frequent in this day and age.
Plus, while Jury Duty brought together “random” strangers for a court summons, Company Retreat has Anthony coming in as a newcomer in an environment with pre-established dynamics, traditions, and problem-makers. So, as audiences get to know each of the characters along with Anthony, writers had the freedom to create a more in-depth lore for the cast, including office politics, romance, and a nepo-baby successor. Among the cast highlights so far are Rachel Kaly‘s Claire, Jim Woods‘ Jimmy and LaNisa Renee Frederick‘s Jackie. Like the best comedy casts, the Rockin’ Grandma’s ensemble is at its best all together, playing off each other like they’ve been doing it for years. In each of those scenes, Anthony is welcomed in like one of their own, becoming not only a necessary part of the dynamics, but a charismatic lead too.
Collider Exclusive · TV Medicine Quiz Which Fictional Hospital Would You Work Best In? The Pitt · ER · Grey’s Anatomy · House · Scrubs
Five hospitals. Five completely different ways medicine goes sideways on television — brutal, chaotic, romantic, brilliant, and ridiculous. Only one of them is the ward your instincts were built for. Ten questions will figure out exactly where you belong.

01
A critical patient comes through the door. What’s your first instinct? Medicine under pressure reveals who you actually are.
02
Why did you go into medicine in the first place? The honest answer says more about you than the one you’d give in an interview.
03
What do you actually want from the people you work with? Who you want beside you under pressure is who you are.
04
How do you actually perform under extreme pressure? The worst shifts reveal things about you that the good ones never will.
05
You lose a patient you fought hard to save. How do you carry it? Every doctor who’s worked a long shift has had to answer this question.
06
How would your colleagues describe the way you work? Your reputation on the floor is usually more accurate than your self-image.
07
How do you feel about hospital protocol and procedure? Every institution has rules. What you do with them is a choice.
08
What kind of medical work do you find most compelling? What draws your attention when you walk through those doors matters.
09
What does this job cost you personally? Nobody works in medicine without paying a price. What’s yours?
10
At the end of a long shift, what keeps you coming back? The answer to this question is the most honest thing about you.
Your Assignment Has Been Made You Belong In…
Your answers have pointed to one fictional hospital above all others. This is the ward your instincts, your temperament, and your particular brand of dysfunction were built for.
The Pitt
You are built for the most unsparing version of emergency medicine television has ever shown. The Pitt doesn’t romanticise the work — it puts you inside a single fifteen-hour shift and doesn’t let you look away. You are someone who needs their work to be real, who finds meaning not in the drama surrounding medicine but in medicine itself, and who has made peace with the fact that this job will take from you constantly and give back in ways that are harder to name. You don’t need the chaos to be aestheticised. You need it to be honest. Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center is exactly that — and you would not want to be anywhere else.
ER
You are the person who keeps the whole floor running — not the most brilliant in the room, but possibly the most essential. County General is built on the shoulders of people who show up, do the work, absorb the losses, and come back the next day without requiring the job to be anything other than what it is. You care deeply about patients as individual human beings, you believe in the system even when it fails you, and you understand that emergency medicine at its core is about holding the line between order and chaos for just long enough. ER is television about endurance, and you have it.
Grey’s Anatomy
You came to medicine with your whole self — your ambition, your emotions, your relationships, your history — and you have never quite managed to leave any of it at the door. Grey Sloan is a hospital where the personal and the professional are permanently, chaotically entangled, and where that entanglement produces both the greatest disasters and the most remarkable saves. You are someone who feels things fully, who forms deep attachments to the people you work with, and who understands that the most extraordinary medicine often happens at the intersection of clinical skill and profound human connection. It’s messy here. You would not have it any other way.
House
You are drawn to the problem above everything else. Not the patient as a person — though you are capable of caring, even if you’d deny it — but the case as a puzzle, the symptom that doesn’t fit, the diagnosis hiding underneath the obvious one. Princeton-Plainsboro is a hospital that exists to house one extraordinary, impossible mind, and everyone around that mind is there because they are smart enough and stubborn enough to keep up. You work best when the stakes are highest, when the standard answer is wrong, and when the only way forward is to think harder than everyone else in the room. That is exactly what you would do here.
Scrubs
You understand that medicine is tragic and absurd in almost equal measure, and that the only sane response is to hold both of those things at the same time. Sacred Heart is a hospital where the laughter and the grief are genuinely inseparable — where a terrible joke can get you through a terrible moment, and where the most ridiculous people are also, on their best days, remarkably good doctors. You are warm, self-aware, and funnier than most people in your field. You lean on the people around you and you let them lean back. Scrubs is a show about learning to become someone worthy of the job — and you are still very much in the middle of that process, which is exactly right.
‘Jury Duty’ Found Another Lead Just as Endearing as Ronald Gladden
In many ways, what made Jury Duty so great the first time around was how endearing and empathetic Gladden was. He never judged his fellow jurors, was always a helping hand, and even made sweet gestures (like watching A Bug’s Life with David Brown‘s Todd) to make them feel seen and heard. In Company Retreat, the series found another incredible hero in Anthony. In the three episodes so far, Anthony embraces the weirdness of the team, showing off just how likable and committed he is to keep the retreat going even when things take a turn. When Kevin abruptly leaves, for instance, he has a candid moment with Blair Beeken‘s Marjorie about what to do, but soon comes back in the room and keeps everyone’s spirits high as the new “Captain Fun.” He rolls with the punches, keeps a positive attitude, and never loses his cool.
“More than familiar sitcom tropes and reality show shenanigans, Company Retreat highlights the compassion and kindness of one man,” wrote Meredith Loftus in her review for Collider. “Despite only having known these people for less than a week, Anthony weaves himself effortlessly into the Rockin’ Grandma’s family. He may laugh at the hilarity of certain situations, but he’s never making fun of or mocking his new coworkers.” So, by picking another lead who’s sweet and charming in his own way, Jury Duty has once again struck comedy gold.
With only three episodes out so far, Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat is already shaping up to be another hit for Prime Video. Currently at #5 in the US streaming charts, per FlixPatrol, the series has all the right ingredients: a new hilarious cast of characters, wild storylines, and a compassionate lead at the heart of the show. Despite the change in setting, Company Retreat is turning out to be just as delightful as its predecessor.
