UPLOAD: Amazon Orders Greg Daniels Comedy to Series

Amazon has ordered UPLOAD, a new series from THE OFFICE creator Greg Daniels.

Per Amazon, “UPLOAD is a sci-fi sitcom that takes place in the near future, where people who are near death can be “uploaded” into a virtual afterlife of their choice. In 2033, secretly romantic Brooklyn-born Nora works customer service for a luxurious virtual reality environment.  When handsome L.A. party boy Nathan’s self-driving car crashes, his high-maintenance girlfriend uploads him permanently into Nora’s VR world.”

The series stars Andy Allo and Robbie Amell. The first season order is for ten-episodes.

“I’m thrilled to be once again working with Greg and [executive producer] Howard [Klein] on this new series,” said Vernon Sanders, Co-Head of Television, Amazon Studios, in a statement. “They’ve made some of the best comedies of the last three decades and I know our Prime Video customers are in for a treat when UPLOAD premieres.”

“Amazon is the perfect place to make UPLOAD,” added Daniels, “because of their strong creative team, and because it’s a company that could actually one day host a digital afterlife. If I get in good with them, I’m hoping for a big discount on my first thousand years.”
