Leslie Bibb will star in Upgraded 2 for Amazon MGM Studios, opposite returning lead Camila Mendes. Becca Gleason directs, and the writers of the first film, Luke Roberts and Justin Matthews, are back.
Plot details are being kept secret, and filming starts this month in Italy. The sequel will stream on Prime Video in more than 240 countries.
π The Backstory
The 2024 original starred Mendes as Ana, an intern at a New York art auction house who pretends to be its director to impress a rich man. Her lie then threatens both her job and the relationship. Gulfstream Pictures financed that film.
Bibb is coming off an Emmy-nominated guest role in Hacks and a part in The White Lotus. She also has two series in the works, including a comedy with Brett Goldstein.
π― Why It Matters
Streaming sequels get greenlit fast when a first film finds an audience. For fans, it means a favourite story gets a second chapter.
