Blade Runner 2099: Prime Video releases final trailer for new sci-fi series
Prime Video has released the final trailer for Blade Runner 2099, a new eight-episode limited series set to premiere on November 25, 2026. The series takes place fifty years after the events of Blade Runner 2049 in a transformed Los Angeles where replicants have risen to power, leaving humans as a minority.
The story follows Cora, a human fugitive portrayed by Hunter Schafer, who assumes the identity of a Blade Runner to escape her past. She forms an unlikely alliance with Olwen, a replicant played by Michelle Yeoh who is nearing the end of her life, to hunt a runaway holding a secret that could destabilize the city.
Showrunner Silka Luisa designed the series to function as a standalone narrative, allowing viewers to engage with the world without having seen the previous films. The production is a collaboration between Amazon MGM Studios and Alcon Television Group, with Ridley Scott serving as executive producer. The series will be available in over 240 countries.
