After a two-year-long wait, the hit Prime Video series Upload returned to the streaming platform for a 2nd season. However, lovers of the series were a bit upset that Season 2 had a shortened episode rely, in particular given the long wait between seasons.

Why did Upload Season 2 have simplest seven episodes when Season 1 had 10?

Let's upload some context to the good episode debate. Upload Season 1 debuted in May 2020, with 10 episodes introducing the idea that of the collection' virtual afterlife premise. Prime Video renewed the display seven days after it premiered for a 2d season (in keeping with an Inverse document), which dropped in March 2022.

We know what you are thinking: Did the COVID-19 pandemic impact filming for Season 2? Why else would the season be so short?

Why is 'Upload' Season 2 so short?

Robbie Amell, who plays Nathan Brown in Upload, explained to Digital Spy that it took just as lengthy to movie seven episodes for Season 2 because it did to shoot 10 episodes for Season 1. (*2*) he printed.

The Upload star also defined that the seven-episode rely labored out perfectly, at least according to showrunner Greg Daniels. Robbie defined that Greg believes the "story should dictate episode count; episode count shouldn't dictate story."

In other words, quality over amount!

Why else had been fans annoyed with Upload's seven-episode sophomore season? Once once more, the display ends on an enormous cliffhanger. After Nathan spent most of Season 1 getting accustomed to being dead in a virtual afterlife, the Season 2 finale sees him downloaded again into life.

However, the display makes it transparent that the obtain process is extraordinarily unstable. The first guy to be effectively downloaded back to life died again seconds later.

Before the primary downloaded guy died a 2d time, his nostril had began to bleed (before his head burst). Nathan wakes up in the Season 2 finale after an evening along with his true love Nora (Andy Allo). Everything seems to be going extremely well for the newly revived Nathan, till he appears to be like within the mirror and sees... his nose bleeding.

That's where Season 2 ends.

Although Prime Video hasn't renewed Upload formally for a third season, Greg showed to Collider that he was once already working on Season Three scripts with his writers room. "We're halfway through," he shared. "So I have strong hopes that that one is just going to keep rolling forward."

Let's hope Season Three of Upload will get a couple of more episodes!
