Blumhouse’s Upgrade Deserves an Altered Carbon-Style Series on Netflix

Despite receiving generally positive reviews and finding an audience on Rotten Tomatoes, the Netflix series Altered Carbon was unexpectedly canceled after just two seasons – a fate shared by many popular shows on the platform. Interestingly, the same year Altered Carbon debuted, Blumhouse released Upgrade, a film directed by Leigh Whannell that has a very similar feel. This surprisingly violent and gritty cyberpunk movie makes a great companion piece to Altered Carbon, and it would be fantastic to see the world of Upgrade explored further in a spin-off series.
