Prime Video has renewed Jury Duty for a third season, Amazon’s Global Head of TV Peter Friedlander confirmed Monday at the company’s upfront presentation in New York — though no setting, scenario, or creative team has been locked in for the next installment of its hidden-camera comedy franchise.
Conversations about a third season began around the start of the year, with the renewal formalized the day before the announcement. The setting has not been determined, and it remains unclear whether co-creators Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky — who helmed both previous seasons alongside executive producer David Bernad, also known for producing The White Lotus — will return for the new edition.
The show centers on a civilian who has no idea they are being filmed for a television series, while every person around them is a trained improviser working from a loose script. The original season followed Ronald Gladden through a fully staged jury trial, complete with actor James Marsden playing an exaggerated version of himself as a fellow juror. That season earned a Peabody Award, an AFI Award, four Emmy nominations, and two Golden Globe nominations.
Season 2, titled Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat, premiered on Prime Video on March 20, 2026, rolling out across three installment blocks. In it, Anthony Norman was hired as a temp to assist at a corporate retreat for a family-owned hot sauce company called Rockin’ Grandma’s. He was told a documentary crew was filming a leadership transition — not realizing the owner, his slacker son, and every other employee were 24-hour actors.
The format’s logistical complexity makes quick turnarounds nearly impossible. Executive producer Chris Kula told a TV Fest audience last week: “It took three years from the first one to this one, so there’s a long runway to get there.” He floated one early idea for Season 3: “I’m thinking of maybe like a fake TV show, like going to awards functions and someone’s duped into giving heartfelt testimony for this thing that doesn’t exist.”
Season 2 was executive produced by comedy veterans including Eisenberg, Stupnitsky, Jake Szymanski, Anthony King, Chris Kula, James Marsden, Ruben Fleischer, and alums of Sacha Baron Cohen’s reality-comedy productions Todd Schulman and Nicholas Hatton.
