“Skinbags” are no longer in charge: replicants seize power in the final trailer for “Blade Runner 2099”

The new series is set 50 years after Denis Villeneuve’s film.

Prime Video has unveiled the final trailer for “Blade Runner 2099”. The series is set half a century after the events of Denis Villeneuve’s film. Over that time, the familiar world has turned completely upside down: replicants staged an uprising, triumphed over humanity, and rebuilt Los Angeles anew.

At the center of the story is Cora (Hunter Schafer)—a human forced to spend her entire life in hiding. Having assumed yet another identity, she poses as a blade runner and joins forces with Olwen (Michelle Yeoh), a replicant with only days left to live. Together, they embark on a search for a fugitive who harbors a secret capable of shaking the very foundations of the new world order.

Silka Luisa, who previously worked on “Halo”, serves as the showrunner. The first two episodes were directed by Jonathan van Tulleken (“Shōgun”), while Ridley Scott, director of the original “Blade Runner”, and Michael Green, co-screenwriter of “Blade Runner 2049”, joined as executive producers. The cast also includes Dimitri Abold, Lewis Gribben, Sheila Atim, Tom Burke, and Matthew Needham.

All eight episodes of “Blade Runner 2099” will premiere simultaneously on November 25, 2026, on Prime Video.
