If you remember Jury Duty as that quietly brilliant comedy where one unsuspecting guy thought he was serving on a real jury while everyone else was in on the joke, Prime Video is ready to take that idea somewhere new. Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat is the next installment from the creative team behind the original series, and it premieres March 20, 2026.
This time, the experiment leaves the courtroom behind and heads into the corporate world. The setup is familiar but reworked. One real person. Everyone else is acting. An environment designed to feel completely normal until it very much is not.
What Company Retreat is about
Company Retreat is a documentary-style comedy centered on Anthony, a recently hired temporary worker attending a corporate offsite for a family-owned hot sauce company. What Anthony does not know is that the retreat is entirely staged. Every coworker he meets is an actor. Every meeting, activity, and awkward bonding moment has been carefully planned.
As the company’s founder prepares to step down, the retreat becomes a pressure cooker for competing philosophies. Big corporate ambition starts clashing with small business values, and Anthony finds himself in the middle of a power struggle he believes is completely real.
How it connects to the original Jury Duty
The original Jury Duty debuted in 2023 and quickly became a word-of-mouth hit. It earned a Peabody Award, an AFI Award, four Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series, and nominations from the Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice Awards. Much of its appeal came from watching one genuine person navigate increasingly strange situations with sincerity and empathy.
Company Retreat keeps that core idea intact while expanding the format into a workplace setting. Instead of jury deliberations, the tension comes from office politics, corporate jargon, and the strange social rituals that come with mandatory retreats. It is a natural evolution of the concept rather than a straight sequel.
The creative team behind the scenes
The series is executive produced by a large group of comedy veterans, including David Bernad, Lee Eisenberg, Gene Stupnitsky, Todd Schulman, Nicholas Hatton, Jake Szymanski, Anthony King, Chris Kula, James Marsden, and Ruben Fleischer. Eisenberg and Stupnitsky co-created the series, with Szymanski directing.
James Marsden, who played a heightened version of himself in the original series, is involved behind the scenes this time, but Company Retreat is positioned more as an expansion of the format than a continuation of the same characters.
When and how it will roll out
Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat will debut on Prime Video with a three-episode premiere on March 20. Two additional episodes will follow on March 27, with a three-episode finale arriving April 3. The series will be available in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
Why this format still works
What made Jury Duty stand out was not just the prank aspect, but the way it revealed how people behave when they believe the stakes are real. Moving that idea into a corporate retreat feels like fertile ground. Office environments are already full of unspoken rules, forced optimism, and quiet power struggles. Dropping one unsuspecting participant into a fully manufactured version of that world is a logical next step.
Bottom line
Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat does not try to reinvent what made the original work. Instead, it shifts the setting and lets the same social experiment play out in a new arena. For anyone who watched Jury Duty and thought, oh yeah, that show was great, this looks like a smart and timely way to bring it back.
