Variety has learned exclusively Amazon plans to submit the eight-episode inaugural season for the Emmy comedy categories, seeking recognition in over a dozen key races including acting, writing and directing. Read: Variety’s Awards Circuit for the latest Emmy predictions in all categories. Created by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, the series follows the inner workings of a jury trial through the eyes of Ronald Gladden, a solar contractor from San Diego, who is unaware that his jury duty summons was not official and everyone on the jury aside from him, is an actor.
Anna Tingley In the days since the finale of “Jury Duty” on Amazon Freevee, Ronald Gladden’s life has changed in ways he never could have imagined. After responding to a Craigslist ad asking for participants to take part in a documentary about jury duty, the 30-year-old San Diego-based project manager instead found himself as the unknowing star of his very own “Truman Show.” He ended up being the foreman on an absurd, fake trial while a cast of actors orchestrated a string of ludicrous scenes pulled straight out of a sitcom.

Jury Duty, the new courtroom reality series, recently aired its season one finale Amazon Prime Video – but will there be a second season?Created by The Office‘s Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, the series chronicles the inner workings of an American jury trial through the eyes of juror Ronald Gladden, who doesn’t realise that everyone except him is an actor.Throughout the course of the show, Ronald (who believes he is taking part in an educational documentary about the legal system) puts up with the eccentric behaviour of his fellow jurors, including Sonic The Hedgehog star James Marsden, who plays a comical version of himself.The final episode of season one – which dropped on Amazon Prime Video on April 27 – saw the producers award Ronald $100,000 (£79,560) for proving himself to be a “hero” and genuinely nice guy.A second season has not yet been confirmed, but executive producer Nicholas Hatton has already expressed an interest in continuing the series.He recently told Deadline: “We could do more but it won’t be the exact same format.“Tweaks will need to happen because the process of finding these wonderful real people involves a little bit of subterfuge and hyping up tracks and sort of pretending you’re something that you’re not. So you have to use a slightly different process every time and we have to keep that very, very secret.”He added: “There are many more worlds of jury duty and many more iterations of it and I think it can go in any number of incredible directions.

Apple TV+ unveiled the first teaser trailer for the upcoming drama series “Lessons in Chemistry,” produced by and starring Academy Award-winner Brie Larson. Adapted from the fictional, best-selling debut novel by author, science editor and copywriter Bonnie Garmus, the show will debut on the streamer this coming fall.“You’re one of the smartest people in this lab,” Lewis Pullman’s character says to Larson’s Elizabeth Zott in the beginning of the trailer.“Lessons in Chemistry” follows the story of Zott (played by Larson), whose dream of being a scientist hits hurdles in a patriarchal society when she becomes pregnant and gets fired from her lab.
