Prime Video has officially announced the release schedule for Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat, the highly anticipated second installment of its breakout reality series Jury Duty. Following the massive success of the original 2023 season—which earned critical acclaim, Emmy nominations, and a devoted fanbase—the new spin-off keeps the core premise intact: one unsuspecting person at the center of an elaborately staged reality show, surrounded by actors playing every other role.

Unlike the first season’s mock courtroom drama, Company Retreat drops its lone participant, Anthony, into what appears to be a routine corporate offsite at a family-owned hot sauce company. The three-episode premiere arrives March 20, 2026, with two more episodes dropping March 27, and the three-episode finale concluding April 3. All eight episodes will be available exclusively on Prime Video.

The setup is deliciously simple and diabolically clever. Anthony, a recently hired temporary worker, believes he’s attending a genuine team-building weekend at a scenic resort. In reality, every colleague, executive, facilitator, bartender, and even the resort staff is an actor following a meticulously scripted arc. The company’s founder is “preparing to step down,” setting up a high-stakes power struggle between old-school family values and aggressive corporate expansion. Anthony—completely unaware—becomes both witness and unwitting participant in escalating absurdities: fake boardroom battles, staged trust falls gone wrong, manufactured romantic subplots, and escalating chaos that tests how far people will go when they think no one is watching.

The original Jury Duty became a cultural phenomenon largely because of Ronald Gladden, the earnest, good-natured juror who never suspected the entire trial was fake. Viewers felt equal parts delight and guilt watching him navigate increasingly bizarre situations with sincerity. Anthony appears positioned to deliver the same bittersweet magic. Early trailer glimpses show him wide-eyed and accommodating, trying to fit in while the “company” around him spirals into hilarious, cringe-worthy, and occasionally touching dysfunction.

Creator Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky (the duo behind the original) return as executive producers, joined by Andrew Reich and new showrunner Sarah Walker. The series retains the mockumentary style—handheld cameras, talking-head confessionals, and a fly-on-the-wall intimacy—that made the first season feel so authentic. What sets Company Retreat apart is the shift from legal farce to workplace satire. The hot sauce company setting allows for sharp commentary on corporate culture, generational divides, authenticity in branding, and the absurd lengths companies go to foster “team spirit.”

Early reviews from preview screenings have been glowing. Variety called it “a worthy successor that swaps gavels for hot sauce bottles without losing the original’s heart or humor.” The Hollywood Reporter praised the “perfectly calibrated escalation” and Anthony’s “endearing, oblivious decency.” Fans on social media are already predicting it will become another viral word-of-mouth hit, with hashtags like #CompanyRetreat and #PoorAnthony trending in anticipation.

The release cadence—three episodes upfront, two the following week, and a three-episode finale—mirrors successful limited-series strategies, building momentum while giving viewers time to digest and discuss. Given the first season’s surprise Emmy nominations (including Outstanding Structured Reality Program), expectations are high that Company Retreat could follow suit.

At its core, the Jury Duty format works because it combines elaborate deception with genuine human kindness. Anthony’s journey—whether he emerges unscathed, suspicious, or blissfully clueless—will likely leave audiences laughing, cringing, and, yes, feeling a little guilty for enjoying his confusion so much. If the first season taught us anything, it’s that the best reality TV doesn’t need real stakes—it just needs one real person at the center of the storm.

Mark your calendars: March 20, 2026. Eight episodes. One unsuspecting hero. And enough hot sauce drama to keep you hooked until the very last drop.
