What happened

A new trailer for 'Blade Runner 2099' premiered at New York Comic-Con, revealing plot details and casting for the Prime Video series set to premiere November 25, 2026. The show stars Michelle Yeoh as Olwen, a fading replicant Blade Runner, and Hunter Schafer as Cora, a human on the run from exterminating Blade Runners. The series inverts the original 'Blade Runner' premise: replicants have successfully risen up against their makers and now hunt humans. The 8-episode debut season is executive produced by Silka Louisa and includes space travel and off-world settings alongside scenes set in a 22nd-century Los Angeles. The ensemble cast includes Dimitri Abold, Lewis Gribben, Katelyn Rose Downey, Daniel Rigby, Johnny Harris, Amy Lennox, Sheila Atim, and Matthew Needham.

Context

This series is the third major installment in the 'Blade Runner' franchise, following the 1982 original directed by Ridley Scott and Denis Villeneuve's 2049 sequel. The show expands the universe to incorporate space settings and explores existential themes about artificial beings and their relationship to humanity through a reversed power dynamic. The franchise is owned by Scott Free Productions and distributed through Prime Video.
