Prime Video and Alcon Entertainment release the first trailer for the live-action limited series “Blade Runner 2099,” a sequel set 50 years after “Blade Runner 2049.” The series is positioned as a continuation of Ridley Scott’s future-shock franchise and was unveiled with its initial promotional footage during Comic-Con. Multiple outlets report that Amazon is officially rolling out the series for streaming on Prime Video on November 25, with all eight episodes made available at once. The trailer presents a dystopian, noir-leaning tone consistent with the franchise, and it introduces new characters, including Hunter Schafer, who is identified as starring in the series. Coverage also notes that the show is intended to build on the established “Blade Runner” universe and themes, including replicants and related questions of identity and control. While different outlets emphasize particular aspects of the trailer’s mood and narrative setup, all agree on the core release information, the Comic-Con timing of the first trailer, and the relationship in time to the previous film in the franchise.
