Prime Video has released a trailer for Greg Daniels’ sci-fi comedy series ‘Upload‘, which returns this March for Season 2.
For those of you that haven’t caught the series yet, ‘Upload’ is set in a technologically advanced future where hologram phones, 3D food printers and automated grocery stores are the norm. Most uniquely, humans can choose to be “uploaded” into a virtual afterlife when they find themselves near-death.
The series follows a young app developer, Nathan Brown (Robbie Amell – ‘The Flash’, ‘Code 8’), who winds up in the hospital following a self-driving car accident, needing to quickly decide his fate. After a rushed deliberation with his shallow girlfriend Ingrid (Allegra Edwards – ‘Briarpatch’, ‘The Social Ones’), he chooses to be uploaded to her family’s luxurious virtual afterlife, the Horizen company’s “Lakeview.” Once uploaded in Lakeview, Nathan meets his customer service “Angel” Nora Anthony (Andy Allo – ‘Chicago Fire’), who at first is his charismatic concierge and guide, but quickly becomes his friend and confidante, helping him navigate this new digital extension of life.
As we head into Season two, Nathan is at a crossroads in his (after) life… his ex-girlfriend Ingrid has unexpectedly arrived to Lakeview hoping to strengthen their relationship, but his heart still secretly yearns for his customer service angel Nora. Meanwhile, Nora is off the grid and involved with the anti-tech rebel group “The Ludds.” Season Two is packed with new near-future concepts, including Lakeview’s newest in-app digital baby program, called “prototykes,” and other satirical glimpses of the technological advances and headaches to come.
‘Upload’ is an Amazon Original sci-fi comedy series. Alongside Amell, Edwards and Allo, the series also stars Kevin Bigley (‘Here and Now’, ‘BoJack Horseman’) and Zainab Johnson (‘American Koko’). Greg Daniels created the series and also serves as executive producer along with Howard Klein.
‘Upload‘ Season 2 premieres Friday, 11th March 2022 on Prime Video worldwide.
