Robbie Amell says new Amazon show ‘Upload’ combines his favorite genres

nypost.com:

Robbie Amell has made a name for himself starring in sci-fi shows (“The Flash,” “The X-Files”) and rom-coms (“The Duff”). His new Amazon comedy, “Upload,” combines the two genres. “I love comedy and I love sci-fi, that’s kind of where my taste lives,” Amell, 31, tells The Post. “I knew that I wanted [to do] a half-hour comedy for a streaming network and a good producer,” he says. “As [‘Upload’ creator and executive producer Greg Daniels] says, I got 2 out of 3.

I obviously got 3. I couldn’t be happier.” Premiering May 1 on Amazon, “Upload” is set in a near future world where people can purchase digital afterlives to “upload” their consciousness after they die.
