Prime Video to release Blade Runner 2099 miniseries in November 2026

Prime Video has announced the release of “Blade Runner 2099,” an eight-episode science fiction miniseries scheduled to debut on November 25, 2026. The series, produced by Amazon MGM Studios, marks the first television expansion of the franchise originally established by Ridley Scott.

Set fifty years after the events of “Blade Runner 2049,” the story takes place in a transformed Los Angeles where replicants hold significant power. The plot follows Cora, a human fugitive played by Hunter Schafer, and Olwen, a replicant nearing the end of her lifespan played by Michelle Yeoh. The two characters must collaborate to uncover a secret that threatens the city's stability.

Created by Silka Luisa, the series features Ridley Scott as an executive producer through Scott Free Productions. Jonathan van Tulleken, known for his work on “Shōgun,” will direct and executive produce the first two episodes. Production began in Prague in May 2024 following delays caused by the 2023 Hollywood strikes.
