A Fresh Setting for Season 2: Trading the Courtroom for a Corporate Retreat
While the first season of Jury Duty took place in a chaotic courtroom setting, the upcoming season is set to shake things up entirely. According to insiders, Season 2 will ditch the legal drama and instead take viewers on a journey to a corporate retreat. This new setting promises to deliver fresh dynamics, challenges, and humor as the characters navigate the complexities of team-building exercises, office politics, and the absurdities of corporate culture.
