The acclaimed sci-fi comedy series Upload returned for a second season in March 2022, exclusively on Prime Video. Upload explores a futuristic vision of the afterlife in which “uploads” can choose to have their consciousness sent to a virtual reality heaven.
Created by Greg Daniels (The Office, Parks and Recreation), Upload Season 4 continues the story of Nathan Brown (Robbie Amell), a computer programmer who gets uploaded to the luxurious Lakeview digital afterlife after a self-driving car accident.

The God of High School Season 2 Release Date
I’ve seen the burning question in many fans’ eyes recently: Is Upload coming back? When can we dive back into the show’s vision of a digital afterlife? I know the feeling well. We miss Nathan, Nora, Ingrid and others who feel like friends after walking alongside them through season 1 and 2. The bonds feel real. But is more Upload on the way?

Upload Season 4 Cast and Characters
Season 2 picks up shortly after the dramatic conclusion of Season 1, which had left Nathan’s fate up in the air after an assassination attempt. Although the Season 1 finale ended on a cliffhanger, Amazon renewed Upload for a second season before the first even premiered, such was the confidence in the show. Daniels returns as showrunner for Season 2, which contains 7 episodes as opposed to Season 1’s 10 installments.
The Upload Season 4 cast sees the return of all the main players, including:
- Robbie Amell as Nathan Brown, a young app developer who gets uploaded to Lakeview after his untimely death. In Season 2, Nathan continues his existential crisis over whether to go back to life or remain in the digital afterlife.
- Andy Allo as Nora Antony, Nathan’s “angel” customer service representative at Lakeview who begins to develop romantic feelings for him. Their cross-dimensional relationship deepens in the new season.
- Allegra Edwards as Ingrid Kannerman, Nathan’s shallow but rich ex-girlfriend who also gets uploaded to Lakeview and continues interfering in his life…or afterlife.
- Kevin Bigley as Nathan’s best friend Luke, who regularly visits him at Lakeview and serves as his connection to the outside world.
The Upload Season 4 plot
Picks up with Nathan defying orders to wipe his memories at the end of last season. He remains determined to investigate his own murder and continue his forbidden romance with Nora. However, Nora has lost her job at Lakeview and now works for new rival afterlife company Virtuoso. This raises fresh challenges for her secret relationship across company lines with Nathan.
Meanwhile, Ingrid explores her new existence as an upload herself but can’t seem to leave her old behavior behind. She continues vying for Nathan’s affections much to his annoyance and Nora’s dismay. Adding to Nathan’s burden is a new “anti-tech” terrorist group targeting uploads and making the digital afterlife vulnerable in unprecedented ways.
Upload Season 4 Story Details
With deeper explorations of worldbuilding, sci-fi concepts, and expanding character growth, Upload Season 4 promises more mystery, complex relationships, social commentary, and dark humor. Fan theories run wild regarding who tried to assassinate Nathan and larger conspiracies that may be keeping uploads imprisoned in digital heaven against their wishes.
While the Season 2 finale does not necessarily end on a cliffhanger this time, there are still ample storylines left open to exploration in a potential third season. Creator Greg Daniels has said he has ideas mapped out for at least 5 seasons if Prime Video greenlights more. However, no official announcement regarding Season 3 or beyond has been made yet by the network. Decisions will likely depend on Upload’s continued viewership and fan demand.
In the meantime, fans have Season 2’s 7 episodes to satiate their appetite and desire for more from the unique digital world of Lakeview. With its boy-meets-girl love story tempered by existential questions about life after death, consciousness, and technology’s control over humanity, Upload represents a compelling evolution of concepts Daniels previously explored in shows like The Office and Parks & Recreation.
Is Upload season 3 ended?
As viewers eagerly await word of an Upload Season 3 pickup, at least the gases at Lakeview remain fully lit in all new episodes available now only on Prime Video. Audiences can upload their own opinions on whether Nathan and Nora’s cross-dimensional connection can withstand every challenge thrown their way by enemies alive, dead…and somewhere in between.
