In order to find a worthy successor to Gladden, Hatton further explained that, " have to use a slightly different process every time and we have to keep that very, very secret." The final episode of Jury Duty's freshman season unveiled the process behind casting Gladden through message board want ads that enlisted subjects for a documentary about civil responsibility. "The process of finding these wonderful real people involves a little bit of subterfuge," Hatton said. In an interview with Deadline, Jury Duty executive producer Nicholas Hatton commented on the show's casting process and how it would have to be modified if the series was to receive a second season. Casting a potential Season 2 now includes the added obstacle of tracking down a subject unaware of the Freevee series, who won't catch on to the subtle production elements.

The role requires a juror who can gracefully weather the storm of the long-form prank show while likewise rising to the challenges of its social experiment components. Jury Duty's success hinged on its hero, Gladden, and casting a second season would require an equally affable subject.
