UPLOAD - ROBBIE AMELL INTERVIEW

Robbie Amell and Andy Allo in, Uplod

Toronto native Robbie Amell is riding high with the success of his new show Upload currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

The comedy series ( created by Greg Daniels - The Office and Parks and Rec) is set in 2033, where humans are able to "upload" themselves into a virtual afterlife of their choosing. When computer programmer Nathan dies prematurely, he is uploaded to the very expensive Lake View, but soon finds himself under the thumb of his possessive, still-living girlfriend Ingrid. As Nathan adjusts to the pros and cons of digital heaven, he bonds with Nora, his living customer service rep, or "Angel". Nora struggles with the pressures of her job, her dying father who does not want to be uploaded, and her growing feelings for Nathan while slowly coming to believe that Nathan was murdered.

The show has already been greenlit for a second season.

I spoke with Robbie about the show and what else he has coming up.
