Upgrade is getting upgraded!
The Leigh Whannell-directed 2018 sci-fi thriller is getting a follow-up TV series, Deadline reported on Thursday (May 28).
The series is being co-created and executive produced by Leigh and Tim Walsh, who is the showrunner.
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 original movie starred Logan Marshall-Green, Betty Gabriel and Harrison Gilbertson.
Here’s a plot summary: “After his wife is killed during a brutal mugging that also leaves him paralyzed, Grey Trace (Marshall-Green) is approached by a billionaire inventor with an experimental cure in the form of a computer chip implant called STEM. The implant provides its host with heightened physical abilities, allowing Grey to exact revenge on those responsible for his wife’s death.”
