Prime Video has unveiled the first official trailer for Blade Runner 2099, giving fans their first extended look at the highly anticipated television continuation of Ridley Scott’s legendary sci-fi universe. Starring Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer, the series arrives this November and promises to expand the franchise with a new mystery set decades after the events of Blade Runner 2049.
Set 50 years after Denis Villeneuve’s acclaimed 2017 sequel, Blade Runner 2099 takes audiences back to Los Angeles in a world where replicants have dramatically altered the balance of power. Humanity no longer sits at the top of society, creating a fresh backdrop for a noir-inspired story filled with conspiracies, identity, and survival.
Hunter Schafer stars as Cora, a fugitive who assumes the identity of a Blade Runner in an effort to secure a future for her brother. Alongside her is Olwen, played by Michelle Yeoh, a replicant Blade Runner nearing the end of her lifespan. Together, they pursue a mysterious runaway whose secrets could reshape the fragile future of Los Angeles.

The series is created by Silka Luisa, with Ridley Scott and Michael Green serving as executive producers, ensuring the new chapter remains deeply connected to the films that inspired it. Visually, the trailer embraces the franchise’s signature neon-soaked atmosphere while introducing a brighter yet equally unsettling version of the dystopian future.
After years of anticipation, Blade Runner 2099 looks poised to deliver another thought-provoking entry in one of science fiction’s most influential franchises when all eight episodes premiere exclusively on Prime Video this November.
