Upgrade Sequel Series Headed To TV

by Dana Abercrombie0

Leigh Whannell’s 2018 Blumhouse sci-fi thriller Upgrade is getting a TV series sequel.

Co-created and executive produced by Whannell and Tim Walsh (Treadstone) who serves as showrunner. Whannell, Upgrade the series picks up a few years after the events of the film and broadens the universe with an evolved version of STEM and a new host – imagining a world in which the government repurposes STEM to help curb criminal activity.

The sequel series marks Whannell’s first dive into the world of television after keeping his eyes on film for over 15 years and is the first project to come out of the first-look film and TV deal he recently inked with Blumhouse, who he had already worked together with for The Invisible Man and Insidious franchise.

Former genius and a woman of mystery and power, whose power is exceeded only by her mystery, Dana Abercrombie has been watching movies since birth (yes birth...we did say "genius"). Despite her secret desire of wanting to give it all up to become a gorgeous billionaire, Dana is most passionate politics about movies often times getting in many heated debates resulting in being thrown out of many gatherings. Despite having a degree in English AND Journalism (multi-tasking FTW!) from the University at Albany-SUNY, she is currently interested in perusing a degree at Yale Law School, because one should never give up on a dream of becoming a gorgeous billionaire...and knowing how to sue someone as a result of those heated debates.
