The second season, titled 'Jury Duty Presents Company Retreat', premiered in 2026 and featured Anthony Norman as the mark, who was hired as a temp for a corporate retreat for the fictional hot sauce company Rockin’ Grandma’s. Norman was told a documentary crew was filming a leadership transition. In the season finale, Norman prevented the company from being sold and received $150,000. The original season premiered in 2023, featured mark Ronald Gladden who believed he was serving on a sequestered jury, and won a Peabody Award.
