TVLine Items: Roswell Vet Joins Upload, Leslie Odom Jr. Visits Abbott and More
Roswell, New Mexico alumna Jeanine Mason is uploading her next TV role: The actress has joined Season 3 of the Prime Video sci-fi comedy Upload, our sister site Variety reports.
Mason will play Karina Silva, “a charming senior Horizen executive in charge of new product development and cybersecurity.”
Upload Season 2 premiered March 11 (after a 22-month hiatus) and wrapped up with Nathan experiencing a worrisome nosebleed after he “downloaded” to break into Freeyond. The series was renewed for a third season in May.
Mason most recently portrayed Liz Ortecho on The CW’s Roswell reboot, which was cancelled in May ahead of its fourth season.

Which of today’s TVLine Items pique your interest?
Silva + Upload = Very Good!
I agree. I love Jeanine, she is a fantastic actress. I’m happy she found a new role so quick. I am still sad that Roswell, New Mexico got the ax (like all my other shows on that channel.) I really enjoyed it
It is my hope that Jeanine will be more able to show more of her amazing talents on Upload. She can sing and dance as well as act but Roswell wasn’t the right venue for all her talents. Good luck to her!
