Prime Video is bringing the Blade Runner franchise back to life with “Blade Runner 2099” later this year, which is set to be the very first television series set in the sci-fi universe.
“Blade Runner 2099” premieres on Prime Video on November 25.
Check out a few brand new images from the series below.
The new Blade Runner television series is set 50 years after the events of Denis Villeneuve’s movie Blade Runner 2049 and stars Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All At Once) and Hunter Schafer (Cuckoo) as partners Olwen and Cora, respectively.
Like Rutger Hauer’s Roy Batty in Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner, Olwen is a replicant at the end of her life cycle. Her partner, Cora, is a human passing herself off as a replicant.
“Blade Runner 2099” comes from Alcon Entertainment, Scott Free, and Amazon Studios. Silka Luisa (“Shining Girls”) is writing, show-running, and executive producing.
Jonathan van Tulleken (“Shōgun”) will direct and executive produce the first two episodes.
Dimitri Abold (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes), Lewis Gribben (Somewhere Boy), Katelyn Rose Downey (The Nun II), and Daniel Rigby (Renegade Nell) also star in the upcoming series, alongside Johnny Harris (A Gentleman in Moscow), Amy Lennox (Only Child), Sheila Atim (The Woman King), and Matthew Needham (House of the Dragon).
