One of the standout performers in the streaming service's acclaimed comedy series has already built a remarkable career in television and film. The new Prime Video show, Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat, is now available for streaming, with the final three episodes, including the season finale, scheduled for release on Friday, April 3.
What Is Company Retreat About?
Billed as a documentary-style comedy, the series captures a corporate away day at a family-run hot sauce business. The narrative unfolds through the perspective of Anthony, a recently recruited temp worker brought in to support the human resources team. Unbeknownst to Anthony, the entire scenario is fabricated, with every co-worker around him playing a scripted part.
Every interaction, whether in meeting rooms or during breaks, has been meticulously planned and written. As the company's founder prepares to hand over the reins, the retreat descends into a conflict between major corporate interests and traditional small business principles, with ownership of the firm hanging in the balance.
Who Is Erica Hernandez?
Since the series premiered, audiences have shown growing interest in the new cast members and their previous work. This includes comedian and actress Erica Hernandez. According to her personal website, Erica Hernandez is an actress, writer, comedian, singer, and even a juice connoisseur. She studied theatre and Spanish in college, spending a year in Mexico as part of her academic program.
After graduating, she entered the comedy scene, performing stand-up at venues in both New York City and Colombia, where she entertained bilingual audiences. In Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat, Erica portrays Kate, a member of the sales and marketing team who often gives the impression she should hold a leadership position herself.
Erica Hernandez's Previous Roles
Prior to this role, she has appeared in smaller parts for shows such as Elementary, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Search Party, and New Amsterdam. She also starred in a leading role in the drama series True Lies, based on the 1994 Arnold Schwarzenegger film, although it was cancelled after one season.
Erica has tackled challenging roles similar to her part in Company Retreat before. While she pretends to be an employee of Rockin Grandma's Hot Sauce in the Prime Video series, she previously featured in an episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. In that instance, she was hired to be the face of a fake product that was successfully marketed to local news stations and their sponsored content program.
Personal Life and Co-Star Connection
Based on her social media activity, she resides with her Company Retreat co-star Marc-Sully Saint-Fleur, who plays the snack-obsessed receptionist PJ. The pair shared a video of themselves in loungewear and dressing gowns, reacting to the Jury Duty season 2 trailer for the first time.
Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat continues to stream on Prime Video, offering viewers a unique blend of comedy and corporate satire.
