Jury Duty's '10/10 Masterclass' Series Quietly Drops New Episodes on Prime Video
In a surprise move that has delighted fans, brand-new episodes of the acclaimed '10/10 masterclass' series Jury Duty Presents Company Retreat have been quietly added to Prime Video for immediate streaming. This unexpected release includes two additional instalments, offering viewers a fresh way to enjoy the season and compelling reasons to binge-watch the content all over again.
Background and Premise of the Series
The original Jury Duty series first debuted in 2023 with a unique and innovative premise. It purported to show audiences what it is like to serve on a jury during a trial in the United States, covering the entire process from juror selection to deliberation on case matters. However, the series featured a significant twist: the case was entirely fabricated, and everyone involved was an actor except for one unsuspecting participant. This format was met with widespread critical and fan acclaim at the time.
The series recently returned for a new season subtitled Company Retreat, which shifts focus to employees of a small family-run hot sauce business attending their annual retreat during a pivotal moment for the company. Similar to the first season, the business does not actually exist; every employee and individual involved in the retreat is an actor, except for one person named Anthony, who believes he has been hired as a temporary assistant to help facilitate the event.
Critical Reception and Fan Praise
Company Retreat has garnered an impressive 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, surpassing the score of the first season. Fans have enthusiastically described it as a "10/10 masterclass in comedy series," with one viewer noting it is "addictive right from the very start, the perfect blend of sitcom and reality TV." Another fan praised it as "the only sort of reality TV worth watching, super wholesome!" Overall, reviews have hailed it as one of the funniest shows in the last decade, with some calling it an often hilarious and entirely binge-worthy experiment.
New Episodes and Special Features
Just over a week after the season finale premiered on Prime Video, two new instalments have been quietly added to the service. These episodes form a two-part special titled Jury Duty Presents: Behind the Scenes of Company Retreat. As the title suggests, this special provides a unique behind-the-scenes look at the making of the season, featuring never-before-seen footage that did not make the final edit.
Additionally, the new episodes pick up six months after the big reveal, showcasing a meeting between Anthony and Ronald Gladden, the hero from the first season, as they discuss their respective experiences making the show. James Marsden, who starred in the first season, also returns for these episodes, presenting a reunion for the cast as they watch the climactic moment from the finale for the first time.
Furthermore, new versions of every episode from season two have been included, each enhanced with added audio commentary from the cast and crew. This commentary shares behind-the-scenes secrets and insights, offering fans a deeper understanding of the production process.
