It has been confirmed that the new series of The Jury will be filmed in Stafford.  

The Channel 4 show recreates real-life murder trials using actors and transcripts.

Observing proceedings is a jury of ordinary people who consider the evidence before reaching a verdict.

Viewers watch in anticipation to see if the tv jury come to the same conclusion as the original jury. 

A spokesperson for ScreenDog Productions said "We can confirm that we are filming the next series of 'The Jury' in Stafford.  That's all the information I can share at this stage."  

ScreenDog Productions have previously worked with documentary makers such as Stacey Dooley and Steve Backshall.

Agent, Trilogy Casting, posted on Instagram: "Channel 4's BAFTA-winning series The Jury is returning! And we're looking for people in Staffordshire to take part.

"If you've ever been curious about the inner workings of a real criminal trial, this is a unique chance to step into the jury box and be part of a powerful social experiment. 

"You must be based within 1 hour of Stafford (this means we can take applications from people in Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Derby and Stoke-on-Trent!)" 

Filming locations are yet to be confirmed, however it is rumoured online that Stafford's Shire Hall will be playing a key role in the programme. 

The first series of The Jury won 'Best Original Programme' at The Broadcast Awards in 2025 and was filmed at the Shire Hall in Chelmsford in Essex.
