Prime Video’s popular series “Upload” is back with Season 3, delving deeper into the intriguing digital afterlife world of Lakeview. Nathan and Nora find themselves amidst rising tensions as they combat the nefarious plans of a billionaire group. With Nathan’s existence in Lakeview hanging in the balance, the duo’s relationship also faces challenges. While the excitement of the current season brews, the spotlight turns to speculations around Season 4, as the showrunner, Greg Daniels, shares his insights.
During a candid chat with Editor-in-Chief Steve Weintraub regarding the ongoing Season 3, Daniels dropped hints about what the future might hold. Even though an official confirmation from Prime Video is still pending, Daniels remains hopeful. He proudly mentioned, “We’re actually the number one most-viewed half-hour show on Prime Video, so it’s kind of cool.” Elaborating on the platform’s backing, he said, “They’re supportive of the show, and I’m pretty optimistic that we’re starting up Season 4 soon.” Expressing his enthusiasm, Daniels conveyed his aspiration to avoid leaving the series with “a really incomplete feeling.” Originally, the Season 4 scripting was set to commence in May 2023. However, due to the WGA strike advocating for a fair deal, it witnessed a temporary halt. With the writers now securing a more favorable contract, Daniels anticipates the writing process for “Upload” Season 4 to kick off “in a week or two.”
On the flip side, the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike has been a topic of concern. Daniels addressed it, clarifying he doesn’t foresee it impacting the production schedule of a possible Season 4. Yet, he voiced his dissatisfaction with the restrictions placed on actors during this strike. He lamented, “The hardest part about the actors’ ongoing strike is that I’m the only person from that original group to be able to do press, and they’re the charming ones. They’re the ones that should be going out and getting recognition for all the good work that they did, and it’s very frustrating that they can’t.”
Season 4 of “Upload”: What’s in Store?
Even though the green light for Season 4 is still up in the air, Daniels has been proactive in his planning. He divulged that the climax of Season 3 leaves room for further exploration, hinting at Nathan’s intriguing situation. Nathan’s encounter with a duplicate of himself in Lakeview promises to evolve into a compelling narrative. While Daniels brims with ideas for the forthcoming season, he candidly admits it’s still fluid. He mused, “In the Season 4 writers’ room, something might come up that would change it. I don’t know. You gotta look at the whole season and say to yourself, ‘What’s the shape of that season next season gonna be?'”
As fans eagerly await each episode of “Upload” Season 3, releasing every Friday in sets of two on Prime Video, the anticipation for Daniels’ next revelation grows stronger.
In Conclusion
“Upload” continues to captivate audiences with its unique take on the digital afterlife. With Season 3 in full swing and Season 4 in speculation, the series holds promise for more thrilling narratives. While external factors like strikes pose challenges, the commitment of the show’s team and their drive for storytelling shines through. The future for “Upload” and its viewers seems packed with surprises, and time will tell what’s next in store.
