Upload Season 4: Greg Daniels and Maxwell Vivian Promise a Fulfilling Final Season

Series creator and executive producer Greg Daniels is confident that fans will be satisfied with Upload Season 4.

Daniels, along with executive producer Maxwell Vivian, sat down with reporters at San Diego Comic-Con to discuss the final season of Upload, which drops all four episodes on August 25 on Prime Video. (You can watch the full video below.)

“Each episode has got its own storyline and theme. We also go to Apple Cove and see another upload, and I think there’s a lot of good stuff,” Daniels said.

“We packed a lot into four episodes, and I think we took our time and did a good job of, like Greg [Daniels] was saying, making the season not just wrap up,” Vivian agreed. “There’s new stuff. There’s new storylines, but at the same time, there is a sense of finality at the end that I think people will appreciate.”

Upload is known to feature some wacky concepts. In previous seasons, we’ve seen dog therapists working in Lakeview, and Season 4 will feature a squirrel driving a car.

When asked about how the writers come up with these things, Daniels said, “A lot of times those [ideas] have a nugget of truth in them. So there is an Israeli researcher who’s using AI to translate animal sounds, and they’re applying it to whale sounds. So we’re taking the idea that self-driving cars are not infallible.”

“There was something in World War II that was super interesting,” Daniels continued. “They had the Manhattan Project to develop the atom bomb, but B.F. Skinner, the behavioral psychologist, had a second project that was training pigeons to fly kamikaze drone things.”

“So this idea that maybe a trained squirrel that could talk to you would be better than a self-driving car because it could react to new impulses… I don’t know. We come up with a lot of bizarre ideas, and they usually have a grain of something in the science news,” Daniels said.
