Blade Runner 2099 (2026)

Overview

“Blade Runner 2099” is a limited science fiction series of eight episodes, a continuation of the cult “Blade Runner” franchise. All episodes premiere on November 25, 2026. The story is set in a world where replicants — artificial humans — live among people, while special agents, blade runners, hunt down those who break the rules. At the center of the story are heroines played by Michelle Yeoh (Olwen) and Hunter Schafer (Corwin), as well as Dimitri Abold and Tom Burke as part of the ensemble cast. The series, ordered back in 2022, presented material on a Prime Video panel at NYCC in October 2026 along with a trailer. The limited format of eight episodes means there will be no second season — the story will receive its conclusion in the first.
