Lucky (Tim) and Meg (Milly Alcock) will hit the open road – and river – once again when the misfit duo are unexpectedly reunited four years after their epic adventure crossing the Nullarbor Plain with a cherished piano. This time they trade the desert for the steamy tropics of Far North Queensland on a mission to find Meg’s mum.
Tim: “We worked so hard on this second season, having to overcome many hurdles on the way. The making of art imitating art, I guess. Things are different in Meg and Lucky’s world, and shit gets even weirder than in season 1, but hopefully it will connect with people in the same way. Ep 8 is another tear-jerker, if jerking tears is your thing. (It is mine!)”

Tim, the Executive Producer, Lead Writer, and star of UPRIGHT has again written some music for the series, alongside another beautiful score by Jackson Milas and Antony Partos. Tim wrote The Aeroplane which was released earlier this month and Spider Girl which he’s been playing at Australian festivals this year for the series.

My god, what a great show! Both seasons are stellar. With the developments in Meg’s life in season two, I’m hoping for another time jump into season three. Fingers crossed!!

How can I watch Upright in Norway? I can’t find a streaming service or where to purchase.

Mr. Minchin,
I thoroughly enjoyed both seasons of Upright! The last episode of season 2 was funny and touching and i was very much hoping everything worked out for Lucky! It is a brilliant series that made me laugh and cry and make want to be a good person like Lucky. The whole cast was brilliant and brought your story to life perfectly! Thank you so much for doing what you do!
A fan for life,

US fans – Upright (both seasons) are on Sundance Now. (You can do the ‘seven days free’ thing, but I promise you will want to watch this more than once, so you may as well subscribe.)

I really hope this will be available soon in Germany. Loved Season 1. Already watched it twice. Sadly, even Season 1 is not available anymore on any streaming sites. I can only order it as DVD from Amazon UK.

Any update for Upright Season 2 in the U.S.? I’m having to limit my consumption of Tim Minchin social media to avoid spoilers and that makes me sad.

I signed up for Binge streaming service specifically to watch Upright.
I have seen season 1 on some long haul flight and re-watched it over 2 days here in Australia.
Season 2 doesn’t disappoint either. It’s fabulous
And THAT song at the very end!!! OMG!

Another fantastic series, binged the whole thing on a cold rainy day in Brighton (UK). Lovely ending. Where can you get that song you sang at the end, I will fly to you?
Matthew Croyle on 22nd of November 2022
Bravo, Tim. The writing is absolutely fantastic. Meg and Lucky are my favorite on-screen duo ever. Milly is a treasure. You should be extremely proud. Props to the entire cast and crew.
Rich Seidner on 18th of November 2022
I loved series 2 of Upright, and had a good cry at the end.
I’m a 76-year old softie, living in California.
Thanks to Tim & Milly and the gang …
Jackie Salas on 16th of November 2022
Watching Season 1 for at least the 4th time right now, on Sundance Now. Hope to see Season 2 on there as well. Love your work! Also, I saw the trailer for a movie you were in. Something about the dark side of Australian history with aboriginal people, I believe? Can’t find it anywhere (in the US). Help, please! It looked great!
Elizabeth Hazell on 16th of November 2022
I am looking forward to the second season. I hope that Sundance Now picks it up, to air in the USA. I recently re-watched Season 1 on Amazon Prime Video. Please let us know where it will air, in the USA. I loved Upright, Season One.
Dion on 15th of November 2022
I hope Upright will make its way to more European countries soon!! I’ve had to import the first season on DVD… I really want to see the sequel!
