Upload Trailer
Robbie Amell (The Flash, The Tomorrow People) stars as Nathan, the computer coder who gets in a car crash and whose brain is uploaded into a virtual world by his girlfriend Ingrid (Allegra Edwards). But while Nathan is living it up in the digital afterlife where Ingrid and her (seemingly rich) family have purchased space, he’s guided by Nora (Andy Allo), the customer support representative who oversees the “Lakeview” VR area. As you can see, the two seem to slowly develop a relationship of their own…or is that potential crush totally one-sided? Daniels has proven to be a master at crafting “will they, won’t they” arcs on sitcoms, so I look forward to seeing how this one unfolds. Either way, Ingrid probably won’t be thrilled to learn about what’s going on with her old boyfriend, and it’s tough to blame her. Keeping a relationship alive evidently isn’t as easy as it used to be.
Here’s the show’s official synopsis:
From Greg Daniels (The Office, Parks and Recreation) comes Upload, a new sci-fi comedy. In the near future, people who are near death can be “uploaded” into virtual reality environments. Cash-strapped Nora works customer service for the luxurious “Lakeview” digital afterlife. When party-boy/coder Nathan’s car crashes, his girlfriend uploads him into Nora’s VR world.
