The cast and creators of Amazon Prime Video’s sci-fi comedy hit “Upload” took the the Comic-Con stage Friday, celebrating the show’s journey, and teasing what’s to come in its fourth and final season. The actors spoke about the show’s exploration of identity, technology, and human connection.

Moderated by The Office’s Brian Baumgartner, the panel featured creator Greg Daniels alongside stars Robbie Amell, Andy Allo, Allegra Edwards and Kevin Bigley, for a fast-paced, funny and at times emotional look back at the show’s exploration of identity, technology, and human connection.

A sneak peek from Season 4 was screened for fans, featuring Alicia (Zainab Johnson) in a hilariously unexpected new role.

One particularly memorable moment came when Amell, Allo, and Edwards rolled up sleeves to show off matching tattoos they got after filming wrapped.

The cast reflected on how their characters had changed, from Ingrid’s evolution beyond a high-maintenance villain to Luke’s surprising emotional depth beneath the comic relief.

Toward the end, Daniels revealed the cover of a new comic book titled Prefera, a digital-afterlife-themed story he’s working on with artist Tom Hoskisson and writer Izzy Kadish. The comic’s concept appears to echo Upload’s core ideas.

The most emotional moment came from Andy Allo, who paused to acknowledge how long the journey had been: “Seven years later, we’re finally here,” she said. “And we get to finish this with all of you.”

Upload Season 4 premieres August 25.

Ballroom 20 lit up Friday afternoon as Gen V stormed into Comic-Con with an electrifying panel. Cast members joined showrunner Michele Fazekas to debut the Season 2 trailer, packed with crowd-pleasing reveals, including surprise cameos from The Boys. Erin Moriarty’s Starlight and Chace Crawford’s The Deep drew cheers, while Black Noir II made a brief but notable appearance.

Fazekas confirmed that Gen V picks up right after The Boys Season 4, with Homelander now ruling America. “Now we get to see what that looks like,” she said, hinting at tensions both on campus and nationwide as resistance begins to stir.

New characters were also revealed, including Hamish Linklater’s unsettling Dean Cipher and Ethan Slater as the university’s namesake, Dr. Thomas Godolkin. The trailer also showed off Zach McGowan’s Dogknott, briefly, and violently.

One of the panel’s most emotional moments came as the cast honored the late Chance Perdomo. Rather than recast, the show wrote his character Andre out, with a heartfelt “For Andre” line in the trailer delivered by Sean Patrick Thomas.

The hour ended on a high with a surprise peek at The Boys Season 5, teasing grotesque new supes and unexpected appearances by Supernatural stars Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins.

Gen V Season 2 premieres September 17 on Prime Video.
