Prime Video’s sci-fi comedy Upload is coming back for a new season.
The series embarks on its third season Oct. 20, according to Prime Video’s announcement, which also included first-look images. The season will be comprised of eight episodes and will continue Greg Daniels’ hilarious and somewhat eerie vision of the future in which AI is present and the dead come back to life via virtual reality.
According to the official description:
In Upload Season Three, we pick back up with Nora and freshly downloaded Nathan as they navigate their relationship, while racing to stop the mysterious conspiracy that threatens to destroy millions of lives. Can they shut down Freeyond, and finally have a real life together? Or is it just a matter of time until Nathan’s head explodes? Meanwhile, in Lakeview, a backup copy of Nathan has been activated and Ingrid’s not about to let this second chance at love slip away. Back in the real world, Aleesha rises through the ranks of Horizen by managing AI education, and falls into a new romantic relationship. And Luke, all alone in Lakeview, is forced to come up with the funds to pay for his stay in paradise, driving him to work in The Grey Zone.
The series stars Zainab Johnson, Robbie Amell, Andy Allo, Kevin Bigley and Owen Daniels. Greg Daniels also serves as executive producer with Howard Klein.
Back in 2022, Johnson talked to Shadow and Act Managing Editor Trey Mangum about her character Aleesha‘s growth in the second season.
I love the growth that Aleesha has, because she’s not just comic relief. She’s not just support. Now, we’re getting insight into who she is, why she does what she wants and what Aleesha wants,” she said. “In season 1, I played a very specific role, this service [to] someone else’s wants. And I think season 2, you get to see like a glimpse of like, ‘Oh, what does this character want? And do we want that for her?’ And I think the audience does. So I’m excited for people to see all that happens to Alicia.”
