Jury Duty 2023

Overview

Jury Duty is a television series that follows the experience of Ronald Gladden as he participates in what he believes to be a legitimate American jury trial. The show presents the legal proceedings from Gladden's perspective as a juror, capturing his reactions and involvement in the courtroom process. Unbeknownst to Gladden, the entire judicial case is fabricated, with every person around him being a professional actor except for himself. The courtroom drama and all surrounding events, both within the courthouse and in external settings, are meticulously orchestrated scenarios designed to create an authentic legal experience. The series documents Gladden's genuine responses to situations and interactions that he perceives as real while remaining completely unaware that he is the only non-actor participant in this elaborate production. The show's format relies on this unique premise of documenting one person's unwitting involvement in a completely staged legal proceeding.
