‘Upload' Promises One Final Fight to Shutdown Evil in Trailer for Finale Event
The sci-fi comedy's four-part finale event was previously teased during San Diego Comic-Con with a look at Aleesha's (Zainab Johnson) new life as a spy tasked with infiltrating Horizon, the company in charge of running Lakeview. Now, as part of a new two-minute teaser (below), the Prime Video series picks up where season three left off, revealing the fate of Robbie Amell's two Nathans inside that digital afterlife.

'Upload' Director on Filming That Meeting of Nathans and AI Guy's Real World Test Run
As a ragged-looking Nora (Andy Allo) discovers her version of Nathan has seemingly succumbed to deletion and somehow returned as a digital ghost, she sets out to not only convince the others that he's alive, but to save and reunite with him.
Meanwhile, Ingrid (Allegra Edwards) and her Nathan navigate the unique challenges of a virtual relationship, alongside Nathan and Luke (Kevin Bigley) affirming their friendship as the rest of Lakeview faces new threats. That includes ownership focused on increasing monetization, a tall, dark and threatening AI Guy (Owen Daniels), and the potential full-blown destruction of Lakeview with everyone inside.
The four-part finale event promises one final battle as a new sentient evil AI threatens to wipe out the world, testing the series' core ensemble — Nathan, Nora, Ingrid, Aleesha, Luke and AI Guy — like never before.
Created by Greg Daniels, who also serves as executive producer along with Howard Klein and Maxwell Vivian, Upload's fourth and final season will premiere on Aug. 25.

‘New Panty & Stocking' Just Tackled the Gen Z-Millennial Divide in the Most Absurd Style
Although Prime Video hasn't adequately promoted Studio Trigger's sequel series to the raunchy cult classic New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, the show remains one of the funniest anime airing this season. Its latest episode prominently highlights the contentious generational divide between Millennials and Gen Z. In its sixth episode, titled 'The Brothers from Heaven,' the anime slows down its compilation of short stories to present a unified narrative filled with pop culture references throughout its 24-minute runtime. For those keeping track, this is the second time the show has adopted this approach since its premiere, the first instance being the opening episode, which had to resolve a 13-year cliffhanger. Included among the mayhem of the episode is the anime's long-teased introduction of two new angel twin characters joining the this plot-thrusting episode, two new diving troublemakers crash onto the scene: the 'twin twink angels,' Polyester and Polyurethane, played respectively by Junya Enoki (Yuji Itadori from Jujutsu Kaisen) and Yūto Uemura (Thorfinn from Vinland Saga) in Japanese and by Hunter McCoy and Corey Wilder (Zanka Nijiku from Gachiakuta) in English. Teased in the anime's official trailer, their arrival throws the debaucherous angels, Panty and Anarchy, and the disgraced demons, Scanty and Kneesocks, into a chaotic scramble to buy their way back into Heaven and Hell. In the episode, we learn that Polyester and Polyurethane are Panty and Stocking's younger cousins—a familial tie that wastes no time delving into generational warfare. Their introduction, which serendipitously echoes the disruptive flair of KPop Demon Hunter's Saja Boys, threatens the show's entire dynamic with their more high-tech approach, proving to be a precognitive force that makes the girls' demon hunting for coins like Mario characters obsolete. To add even further insult to injury, Polyester and Polyurethane dish out zoomer quips, mislabeling the millennial girlies 'boomers,' using slang ('deadass,' 'no cap,' 'period,' 'sussy'), and calling the girls 'Karens,' among other kitschy TikTok lingo. Not to be outdone, the gender and generational battle throughout the episode has Panty and Stocking firing back with their own insults, representing the millennials in this divide by calling the boys 'iPad kids.' While their comeback may not be as substantial as that of the boys, as the old saying goes, 'brevity is the soul of wit,' so perhaps the girls are onto something with only one diss registering from their side of the aisle. All that said, the episode still has its fun with referential humor. Amid their contest to collect the most coins by slaying demons, the episode also continues the series' signature of pop culture references. Chief among them is a reference to John Carpenter's They Live, which sees the town of Daten City transformed into a horde of bug-eyed creatures, a Good Burger, and The Matrix's infinite armory. The last of which introduces another new character, Gunsmith Bitch, the show's second Black leading cast member. Played by Yoshino Aoyama (Hitori Gotoh in Bocchi the Rock!) in Japanese and Krysta Gonzales (Eddy Ripple in Elemental) in English. Gunsmith Bitch's whole deal is she's a nerd girl who moonlights as an arms dealer. She also has a sexual attraction to guns. She comes in handy for Panty and Stocking when Polyester and Polyurethane's Gen-Z angelic iPad-baby tactics disable the girls' divine weapons. After a glorious angel-demon team-up, the boys are defeated, and the episode sees the girls reign supreme, with their 'uncle Rami' emerging from heaven through a giant hand gag straight out of SpongeBob SquarePants, bringing the boys back to heaven. However, that's probably not the last we'll see of them because the episode's stinger sees their uncle, and Panty and Stocking's father, deliver an edict allowing them to continue running amok for his daughters. With an ending like that, fans can expect more shenanigans from Polyester and Polyurethane when new episodes of New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt air every Wednesday on Prime Video.

The Boys actor Antony Starr says goodbye to his iconic Supe Homelander in farewell post: "We created a monster... and I will miss him"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Filming has already wrapped on The Boys season 5 and, now, Antony Starr has found the right time to say goodbye to his iconic Homelander character. In a lengthy post on Instagram, Starr paid tribute to the cast, crew, creator Eric Kripke, and – of course – The Boys' wonderfully twisted fanbase. "This complicated character allowed the space and range to discover and push boundaries in a way I never expected and I will always be grateful for this experience," Starr wrote. "And of course huge gratitude to my co-parent with this twisted gem of a character [Eric Kripke]. We created a monster, sir. And I will miss him, and you. Til we roll out the last season. When I'll see you. But this creative chapter is closed, and I'll miss it, brother." You can read the full post below. Antony Starr's Homelander has been at the centre of some of The Boys' most controversial and shocking moments. Whether it was a unique act of self-love, an obsession with milk, or bumping off some of the Prime Video series' most notable characters, the stars-and-stripes-clad Supe is almost always around to wreak havoc. As of The Boys season 5, the leader of the Seven is firmly embedded in the corridors of Washington as a major figure in the U.S. government. With The Boys either on the run or in captivity, it appears all roads lead to the White House in the final season. Before then, Gen V season 2 is premiering on September 17.

Is 'South Park' Season 27, Episode 3 on Tonight?
Comedy Central Predicting what will happen in a South Park episode is hard, but anticipating when a new installment will air might be even tougher. The hit satirical series had its season 27 premiere date pushed by two weeks and then announced its second episode would debut two weeks after the first. South Park hasn't released a similar statement for the forthcoming third installment, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, the show will not unveil a new episode this week. Comedy Central is instead commemorating "South Park Day," a celebration of the show's fans with a marathon of past episodes, interviews from Comic-Con and more. South Park's first episode, Cartman Gets an Anal Probe, will air at the time a new episode usually would. While we'll have to wait for more details on the next South Park, another aspect of the show is more definitive: its new streaming home. With the signing of a deal in July, 50 new South Park episodes and the show's back catalog will be on Comedy Central and Paramount Plus. Forthcoming episodes of season 27 will stream on Paramount Plus in the US the day after airing on Comedy Central. The show is no longer available on HBO Max as of early August. If you want to watch the 27th season of the show co-created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, here's what to know. South Park season 27, episode 3 release date and streaming details The release date for episode 3 has not been announced. If it follows the current trend of skipping one week, it will air on Wednesday, Aug. 20, at 10 p.m. ET/10 p.m. PT/9 p.m. CT and stream on Paramount Plus the next day (the first two episodes are already on the streaming service). CNET has reached out to Comedy Central and will update this story if we learn anything new. Season 27 episodes will hit Paramount Plus in the US the day after they air on Comedy Central, according to Deadline. If you don't want to wait that long to watch without cable, you might want to consider a live TV streaming service like Philo, Sling or YouTube TV. More on that below. James Martin/CNET Paramount Plus Paramount Plus has two plans: Paramount Plus Essential and Paramount Plus Premium, which used to be called Paramount Plus with Showtime. Essential costs $8 per month and includes ads and a sampling of Showtime programming. Premium removes ads and unlocks more Showtime titles, among other perks. See at Paramount Plus Philo Philo Carries Comedy Central Philo is a live TV streaming service that provides more than 70 channels, including Comedy Central. A subscription costs $28 per month and also includes access to AMC Plus content. Rivals like YouTube TV come with more channels but Philo could be a good fit for you if you like its smaller selection for a lower price. See at Philo
