Jury Duty's Ronald Gladden confirms future with Amazon
Jury Dury's Ronald Gladden has confirmed his future at Amazon.
The project manager, who unknowingly starred in the hoax courtroom sitcom, has signed a two-year deal with Amazon's MGM Studios to develop, produce and act in content for the corporation.
Gladden said in a statement (via Variety): "Words cannot express how excited I am to officially be a part of the Amazon family.
"Jury Duty was a remarkable experience for me, and one that introduced me to so many creative and inspiring people. I'm now looking forward to utilizing those new relationships to develop projects for Amazon MGM Studios."

Amazon MGM's head of AVOD, unscripted and targeted programming, Lauren Anderson, added: "At the heart of Jury Duty was a story about the power of human kindness, selflessness, and empathy.
"Ronald exemplified this in his ability to genuinely connect with everyone around him, no matter their background, celebrity, or idiosyncrasies. We're excited to collaborate with Ronald and create more opportunities to bring joy, positivity, and inspiration to Amazon customers."
Gladden was the only non-actor taking part in Jury Duty, and had no idea he was being set up right until the end. This allowed his personality to shine through and he unwittingly became one of the biggest TV stars of the year.
Earlier this year, he revealed that he hadn't told anyone that he had taken part in the series before it aired.
"I'm not the type of person where I'm used to the focus being on me, so I didn't want to bring it up weeks in advance and talk about it all the time," he said.
"I didn't tell anyone about it, I didn't post about it, I've literally just kept living my life as if it didn't happen. At one point it almost felt like a dream. So until it actually airs, I don’t think it will actually hit me."
Jury Duty is available to watch on Amazon Freevee and Prime Video.
