The first season premiered in 2023 on Amazon FreeVee, so the move to Prime Video places the show on a larger platform with easier access for more viewers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest change is the setting itself. Season one centered on <strong>Ronald Gladden<\/strong>, who believed he was serving as a juror during a court case but was actually surrounded by actors participating in an elaborate prank. Season two transplants the concept into an entirely different world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a synopsis, <em>Company Retreat<\/em> takes place during a \u201ccorporate offsite event at a family-owned hot sauce company.\u201d The fictional company is called Rockin\u2019 Grandma\u2019s. During the trip, the founder announces plans to step down, after which \u201cthe getaway transforms into a clash between big corporate ambitions and small business values, with control of the company hanging in the balance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of the procedural environment of a courtroom, the production team has built an elaborate workplace drama around their unsuspecting star \u2014 complete with corporate power struggles, coworker dynamics and high-stakes boardroom tension. Except none of it is real for everyone except one person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2025\/tv\/news\/jury-duty-renewed-season-2-amazon-1236025373\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Variety<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Company Retreat was filmed in Agoura Hills, a suburb of Los Angeles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Meet Anthony, the New Unsuspecting Star<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This time around, the unsuspecting participant at the center of the show is Anthony. He is introduced in the series as a temporary worker joining coworkers on the company trip. Anthony fills the role previously held by Ronald Gladden in the first season, serving as the only non-actor among the cast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAnthony\u2019s charisma and kindness stood out immediately,\u201d executive producer <strong>Nick Hatton<\/strong> told <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/jury-duty-season-2-everything-to-know-11920512\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cFrom day one, it was clear Anthony was going to be a great hero. As for how we found him \u2014 that\u2019s part of the secret sauce required to make the show!
