AMAZON’S sci-fi comedy “Upload” is ready for version 2.0. The streamer has picked up a second season of the series from “The Office” creator Greg Daniels. The renewal comes just a week after “Upload” premiered on Amazon’s Prime Video. An episode count for season two has yet to be determined.

The series is set in 2033, when people have the option of uploading their consciousness to a virtual afterlife when they die. It centers on Nathan (Robbie Amell), who’s badly injured in a self-driving car accident and makes a hasty decision to be uploaded to the luxurious virtual afterlife of his girlfriend Ingrid’s (Allegra Edwards) family. Once there, Nathan develops a bond with Nora (Andy Allo), the customer service “angel” assigned to look after him. “Upload” also stars Kevin Bigley and Zainab Johnson. Daniels executive produces with Howard Klein.

The series is part of a roster of originals at Amazon that includes “Hunters,” “Jack Ryan,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “The Boys,” the Chris Pratt-led “The Terminal List,” “Tales From the Loop” and a big-budget “Lord of the Rings” adaptation, among others.
