Ronald Gladden and James Marsden in 'Jury Duty' — Amazon Freevee

It’s been almost two years since viewers joined an unsuspecting Ronald Gladden for Jury Duty, a hidden camera series in which 11 out of the 12 jurors are actors.

The unexpected comedy hit from Amazon’s now-dissolved Freevee put civilian Gladden at the center of the joke. But it was never cruel as the show quickly won viewers over with its display of kindness as Gladden tended to his eclectic fellow jurors with patience and warmth.

The show was such a success it earned four Emmy nominations, one of which was for Outstanding Comedy Series. The show also highlighted a stellar performance from James Marsden, who played an over-the-top version of himself. But will Jury Duty return for a second season? It’s a question that has lingered… Until now. Below, we’re breaking down everything we know about Jury Duty Season 2 so far.

Has Jury Duty been renewed for Season 2?

Yes, the series has finally been renewed for Season 2. But as mentioned, above, Freevee is gone, which means viewers will require a Prime Video subscription to tune in as that’s where the newest episodes will stream.

When will Jury Duty Season 2 premiere?

No premiere date is currently set, but in a report from Deadline, it was revealed that Season 2 has already completed filming, meaning fans are likely closer to a premiere than they realize. But stay tuned for more on Jury Duty‘s return as we await further details.

Would the same cast return for Jury Duty Season 2?

According to Deadline, no casting has been revealed, but it’s believed much of the creative team behind Season 1 has returned. Additionally, Jury Duty got so popular, that it’s more likely that the scenario would require a whole new set of performers to trick the individual who is poised to follow in Gladden’s footsteps.

What would Jury Duty Season 2 be about?

Per Deadline, Season 2 is rumored to have a David vs, Goliath theme, taking inspiration from ’80s films like Animal House and Caddyshack. What that means is for fans to discover when Season 2 arrives. As viewers will recall, Season 1 revolved around Gladden being called to jury duty alongside an eclectic mix of strangers.

Would Ronald Gladden return for Jury Duty Season 2?

Gladden signed a two-year deal with Amazon MGM Studios in late 2023, which included producing, developing, and starring in a range of content.

“Words cannot express how excited I am to officially be a part of the Amazon family,” Gladden had said at the time. “Jury Duty was a remarkable experience for me, and one that introduced me to so many creative and inspiring people. I’m now looking forward to utilizing those new relationships to develop projects for Amazon MGM Studios.” The intent with Gladden’s deal was to continue creating content that promotes kindness and inspires joy.

There are no shows or projects currently tied to Gladden, but considering the secrecy that goes into making a show like Jury Duty, we wouldn’t be shocked to learn he might have been involved in Season 2.

Stay tuned for more on Jury Duty in the weeks and months ahead as we await word on further details, and let us know what you hope to see when the series returns.
