Meet the characters from Upload

Nathan Brown

Okay, Nathan is the kind of guy you root for immediately — goofy, earnest, stubbornly optimistic and cursed with the worst timing, like he got the “die young and make us cry” script by accident. He’s sarcastic in a sleepy, endearing way and surprises people with a depth that sneaks up on you (also he drinks bad coffee? or did he hate coffee? I can’t remember, but definitely something tragic about his snacks). Lost between two worlds, he’s curious and impulsive and also annoyingly principled, like he’s allergic to giving up even when it would be smarter to fold. He makes dumb jokes and then drops a line that actually hurts in the best way, and somehow you forgive him every time.

Nora Antony

Nora is that impossible blend of hyper-competent workhorse and secretly soft-hearted rule-bender — professional, tired, and absolutely fierce when it matters, plus she likes lists and tiny emergency snacks in her desk. She’s the practical anchor in a chaos-filled job but also has this weird, almost contraband tenderness where she’ll break protocol because she can’t stand people getting hurt (and she pretends she didn’t, classic). Sharp, dry sense of humor, possibly collects ridiculous little trinkets she’ll never admit to liking. Sometimes she’s colder than ice, sometimes she’s a big ol’ softie, which is confusing but also what makes her fun.

Aleesha

Aleesha is loud, honest and gloriously blunt — the friend who says the thing everyone else is thinking but with a laugh and a fist bump, and she’s probably wearing something bright and improbably comfortable. She’s practical, not sentimental (but will cry once and then never talk about it), fiercely protective of her crew, and suspicious of corporate smiles. Somehow she’s both the life of the room and the one who notices the small injustices that everyone else misses. She contradicts herself a lot — insists she hates drama but is secretly the best midnight conspirator — and you love her for it.

Luke

Luke gives total soft-nerd vibes: awkward, brilliant, a little shy, the kind of person who will fix your tech and then tell you a terrible pun about it. He’s low-key romantic and a disaster with feelings, which is both heartbreaking and hilarious, and he owns way too many hoodies or maybe zero hoodies, depends on the day. Super loyal, quietly brave in small ways, and oddly philosophical about immortality and spreadsheets (yes, spreadsheets — don’t ask). He makes you feel safe but also like you should remind him to eat sometimes.

Ingrid Kannerman

Ingrid walks in like she owns the future — polished, visionary, charismatic, with a smile that could be a press release or a threat, sometimes both at once. She’s the public brain behind the whole shiny operation, part idealist, part ruthless strategist, and totally comfortable in a suit that costs more than your rent (probably). You sometimes catch a softness behind the PR-trained face, like she genuinely believes in progress, except maybe not when profits are involved. She’s complex and slightly terrifying and also strangely human, which keeps people guessing.

A.I. Guy

The A.I. Guy is that omnipresent upbeat voice that pops up everywhere — annoyingly cheerful, perfectly scripted, and somehow a little existential when you’re not expecting it. He’s helpful in a neon-ad kind of way, full of canned empathy and suggestions for “improved living,” but occasionally slips into weirdly profound lines that make you pause (like, is that a bug or a feature?). Think mascot-level charm with a hint of uncanny valley, and definitely a laugh track built in. He’s the future’s attempt at being your friendly neighbor, if your neighbor were an algorithm and very opinionated about your subscription plan.

Lucy

Lucy is firecracker energy — fast-talking, brilliantly messy, and refuses to be put in a box even if you try gently. She’s impulsive, loyal, and the kind of friend who’ll drag you into trouble and also get you out with a ridiculous plan that somehow works. She mixes street smarts with surprising tenderness, and her moral compass is mostly accurate but occasionally spins wildly, in the best possible way. Also she’ll steal snacks, bail you out at 2 a.m., and then immediately roast you for being dramatic about it.

Jamie

Jamie is the eager, awkward optimist who wants to help and sometimes breaks three things trying, but hey, intentions count, right? Kind of a bright-eyed tech kid vibe — lots of enthusiasm, some bright ideas, occasional social clumsiness, and a tendency to over-share nerdy trivia at inappropriate moments. He’s earnest to a fault, will defend people like it’s his job, and is both ridiculously competent when it counts and gloriously bad at subtlety. You can’t help but root for him, even when he’s the reason the coffee machine is on fire.
