Five years after Denis Villeneuve’s feature film Blade Runner 2049, Blade Runner is now headed to the small screen with live action series Blade Runner 2099 from Amazon Studios!

Deadline breaks the news that Ridley Scott (Blade Runner) is executive producing the sequel series, with Blade Runner 2099 said to be a follow-up to Blade Runner 2049.

Silka Luisa (“Shining Girls”) is writing and executive producing.

Deadline notes, “The project, which would mark the first Blade Runner live-action series, is in priority development at Amazon Studios, which is fast tracking scripts and eyeing potential production dates. Staffing is currently underway for writers to join a room. Scott may direct if the series moves forward, sources said.”

Blade Runner 2099 comes from Alcon Entertainment, Scott Free, and Amazon Studios.

Released in 1982, Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner was an adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?. The 2017 sequel picked up the story years later.

In the original movie, “A blade runner must pursue and terminate four replicants who stole a ship in space, and have returned to Earth to find their creator.”

And in Villeneuve’s sequel, “Young Blade Runner K’s discovery of a long-buried secret leads him to track down former Blade Runner Rick Deckard, who’s been missing for thirty years.”

No word yet on Blade Runner 2099 plot details.
