Your Guide to the 'Jury Duty' Season 2 Cast and Characters: Who's Who in 'Company Retreat'

In 2023, Jury Duty became a word-of-mouth comedy sensation with a mind-bending premise. The series, now under Prime Video, followed an unsuspecting man named Ronald Gladden as he served as a juror, not knowing that the entire trial was fictional and everyone involved were paid actors. Gladden's kind and earnest reactions to the bizarre shenanigans made Jury Duty a surprise hit; now, three years later, the Emmy-nominated show's back for another installment.

In the second season, titled Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat, the show follows its non-actor "hero," Anthony Norman, as he starts a temp job at the fictional family-run hot-sauce business, Rockin' Grandma's. He's "hired" to help facilitate the annual company retreat to participate in a documentary about small businesses. In addition to the retreat devolving into chaos, the workers also have to grapple with the company's future when a private-equity firm comes into the picture.

To bring the Truman Show-esque production to life, Jury Duty season 2 recruited a cast of veteran improv actors and rising comedy stars, who may be familiar to viewers more pop-culturally-savvy than the unsuspecting Anthony. Below, read on for everything to know about the cast of Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat.

Anthony Norman as himself

Department: Temporary worker, retreat assistant

Anthony Norman is the oblivious normie at the center of season 2's workplace production. Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, the 25-year-old (at the time of filming) introduces himself in the season 2 premiere as a dedicated worker who's "always giving it 100 percent" at his temp jobs.

In an interview with the LA Times, producer Todd Schulman recalled how Norman stood out among 10,000 applicants for "what they believed was a documentary project about a small business." Schulman said of Norman, "You could just tell there was a warmth to him and a real comfort in his own shoes. He knew who he was, and he wasn’t going to be rattled or thrown off his game in any way by the stuff we were going to put him through."
