Prime Video’s “Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat” is heading to Westfield Fashion Square this Friday for fans to experience a work outing with the Rockin’ Grandma’s Hot Sauce crew.
As one of several “Jury Duty” FYC events taking place over the next week, the “ultimate company retreat” will feature a themed food truck with walking tacos, a “PJ’s Snack Attack” station, card games and more. Giveaways will include captain’s hats, chili necklaces, and bottles of Rockin’ Grandma’s Hot Sauce.
The event, which will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in front of Macy’s at Westfield Fashion Square (14006 Riverside Dr, Sherman Oaks, 91423), will also include series hero/non-actor Anthony Norman, executive producers and cast members. The special guests will be there for lunch, photos and more from noon to 1:30 p.m.
On Sunday, “Hot Ones” host Sean Evans will throw a “Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat” event at NYA West (1520 Wilcox Ave, Los Angeles, 90028), at 11 a.m. The screening will include episodes 207 and 208, followed by a Q&A and reception.
Evans will be joined by creator/EP Lee Eisenberg, EP Todd Schulman, EP Nicholas Hatton, director/EP Jake Szymanski and Norman.
Later that day, also on June 7, “Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat” will hit Film Independent for a screening and Q&A at the Landmark Sunset (8000 Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood, 90046). Eisenberg, Schulman, Szymanski and Norman will be in attendance.
Per the logline, “‘Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat’ captures a corporate offsite event at a family-owned hot sauce company from the perspective of Anthony, a recently hired temporary worker. Unbeknownst to Anthony, the entire experience is staged, every colleague around him is performing a role, and each moment – whether in conference rooms or during downtime – has been meticulously orchestrated. As the founder prepares to step down, the getaway transforms into a clash between big corporate ambitions and small business values, with control of the company hanging in the balance.”
Besides Norman, the series stars Alex Bonifer, Blair Beeken, Emily Pendergast, Erica Hernandez, Jerry Hauck, Jim A. Woods, LaNisa Renee Frederick, Marc-Sully Saint-Fleur, Rachel Kaly, Rob Lathan, Ryan Perez, Stephanie Hodge, Warren Burke and Wendy Braun.
Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky created the series, which is executive produced by David Bernad, Lee Eisenberg, Gene Stupnitsky, Todd Schulman, Nicholas Hatton, director Jake Szymanski, Anthony King, Chris Kula and James Marsden.
“We’re so excited to bring a taste of ‘Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat’ to the people of Los Angeles,” Schulman said in a statement. “When we set out to create the new season, we wanted to tell a story centered on a company retreat that would bring people together and forge unexpected connections. That spirit of community, camaraderie, and shared experiences is at the heart of the show, and we want Friday to capture that same feeling. We hope fans and newcomers alike can come together, enjoy a fun meal complete with Rockin’ Grandmas Hot Sauce, and experience a little of the warmth, spice and connection that makes this season so special.”
