BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) \u2014 The final season of the Prime Video series \u201cUpload\u201d creates some interesting questions. Can \u201cUpload\u201d really end if viewers will be able to upload the streaming series for eternity? When will this progressive tale of an alternative afterlife through technology become dated? Is the storyline for the final episodes about an evil AI looking to end the world a little too close to reality?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s those kinds of conversations that have made the series so popular with fans. Those followers will get to see the four-episode finale season starting Aug. 25 on the streaming service.<\/p>\n
\u201cUpload\u201d configures the kind of comedy that series creator Greg Daniels used with \u201cThe Office\u201d and blends it with a science fiction tale that is closer to science than fiction. It\u00a0explores a fictional near-future packed with\u00a0ironic futuristic technology. This includes the ability to be \u201cuploaded\u201d to a virtual afterlife instead of dying.<\/p>\n
Steph Davis gave Chris Hemsworth a helping hand <\/a><\/p>\n At the center of this series that looks at life in the living and afterlife worlds is Robbie Amell\u00a0(\u201cThe Flash\u201d). The \u201cUpload\u201d star plays Nathan Brown, a young app developer who lands in the hospital after a self-driving car accident. He must decide quickly which end he prefers.<\/p>\n That decision is made when he is pressured by his shallow girlfriend (Allegra Edwards) and he ends up in a luxurious afterlife known as Lakeview under the watchful eye of his customer service \u201cAngel\u201d Nora Antony (Andy Allo).<\/p>\n Not only has Amell\u2019s character had to deal with the fact he\u2019s dead, but he has been cloned. This creates a situation where the two versions of his character are in love with very different women in the living world.<\/p>\n Amell knows he has changed in the seven years since he originally signed on to star in the series. He has a five-year-old who was not even around when the show started.<\/p>\n \u201cAs far as the characters go, the big thing for me in season one was this is a guy who is falling in love with this girl, and they have this charming romance,\u201d Amell says. \u201cThen the audience finds out at the same time that he may not be as great a guy as he thought he was.<\/p>\n \u201cThe question became \u2018Are we our worst moments? Are we our biggest mistakes or can people change? \u2018And I thought that was something that the real Nathan grappled with for a little while and learned from Nora and grew.\u201d<\/p>\n Sanjeev Bhaskar connects with \u201cUnforgotten\u2019 role <\/a><\/p>\n Amell suggests the copied version of Nathan isn\u2019t quite as clear a picture as the original. He compares it to the Michael Keaton movie \u201cMultiplicity\u201d where each copy of the original got fuzzier.<\/p>\n That slight difference is how Amell was able to keep track of which version of the character he was playing. There are differences at the start but by the end, they show some very serious similarities.<\/p>\n Amell was attracted to the series on multiple levels with the most prominent being the chance to work with Daniels. Two TV series by Daniels \u2014 \u201cParks and Recreation\u201d and \u201cThe Office\u201d \u2014 are two of Amell\u2019s favorite programs.<\/p>\n Daniels spent a lot of time thinking about this idea and how it would work as a TV series. He originally had the idea for the series more than 30 years ago while he was a writer on \u201cSaturday Night Live.\u201d But the success of other projects didn\u2019t give him time to work on the idea.<\/p>\n As Amell read the scripts, he saw that not only did Daniels bring the same kind of twisted humor to \u201cUpload\u201d he has used with other shows, but he also created a series that makes the viewer think about big questions.<\/p>\n \u201cUpload\u201d is a blend of the practical and computer-generated imagery. Amell credits his long love of science fiction plus working on special effects-heaving offerings like \u201cThe Flash\u201d and \u201cThe Tomorrow People\u201d with preparing him for the filming demands of \u201cUpload.\u201d<\/p>\n The Canadian actor has worked on numerous fantasy and sci-fi projects since making his professional acting debut in 2005 with \u201cCheaper by the Dozen 2.\u201d His other credits include the films\u00a0\u201cScooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins,\u201d\u00a0\u201cScooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster,\u201d \u201cThe Hunters,\u201d \u201cThe DUFF\u201d and \u201cThe Babysitter.\u201d<\/p>\n
