Prime Video releases the first trailer and teaser materials for “Blade Runner 2099,” premiering at San Diego Comic-Con. The series is described as a limited, cyberpunk TV spinoff from Ridley Scott’s sci-fi franchise, arriving nine years after the 2017 film “Blade Runner 2049.” The show stars Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh and “Euphoria” breakout Hunter Schafer as lead characters. Multiple outlets report that the story takes place further in the franchise’s dystopian future, following the events of both “Blade Runner” films. One account specifies the series is set about 50 years after “Blade Runner 2049,” with Los Angeles rebuilt but under fragile conditions. The reported plot elements include a fugitive character taking on a Blade Runner identity and a forced partnership with a replicant, as they hunt a rogue figure whose hidden truth could destabilize their society.
Other coverage highlights the series’ release timing on Prime Video, with one outlet specifying a Nov. 20 premiere date. Additional casting details appear in at least one report, along with production notes indicating filming largely in Prague and Barcelona.
