The Original Science Fiction Comedy Series “Upload” Returns for Season 3
The original science fiction comedy series Upload, produced by Greg Daniels of The Office and Parks and Recreation, premiered on Prime Video in 2020. The show explores a world where most things have been converted into digital form, such as self-driving cars and handheld mobile phones. However, one area where real-world technology has not yet made significant progress is the concept of a digital afterlife, which is central to the story of Upload.
Plot and Characters
In the upcoming third season of Upload, the story continues with Nathan, Nora, and others fighting to end the corporation Freeyond before too much damage is done. Nathan, the series’ primary protagonist, has returned to the ranks of the living after being uploaded to Lakeview, a digital afterlife. However, he is now a time bomb due to an exceedingly high-stakes gamble that transferred his consciousness back into his body from the real world.
Nathan and Nora, his “angel” and guide in Lakeview, work through the challenges of their new relationship while also dealing with the possibility of Nathan’s death. Ingrid, Nathan’s ex-girlfriend, uploaded a backup duplicate of him in Lakeview, making things more difficult for the honest Nathan but giving Ingrid another chance to reignite their romance.
Meanwhile, Aleesha climbs higher up the Horizen ladder, and Luke encounters new challenges without the familiar presence of Nathan in Lakeview with him.
