During its New York Comic Con panel on Saturday, Prime Video revealed a new full trailer for Blade Runner 2099, the limited series set 50 years after the events of Blade Runner 2049.
What happened?
The trailer shows a reborn Los Angeles, but not by humanity: replicants won an uprising and now dominate the city, with humans as second-class citizens. Cora (Hunter Schafer), a fugitive, takes on the identity of a Blade Runner and is forced to partner with Olwen (Michelle Yeoh), a replicant near the end of her lifespan, to investigate 38 missing replicants and a conspiracy that could collapse the city.
The series premieres with all eight episodes on November 25, 2026, exclusively on Prime Video. Ridley Scott serves as executive producer, and Silka Luisa is the showrunner.
Why it matters
The Blade Runner universe continues exploring themes of humanity, identity, and what it means to be “more human than human,” now with power inverted between humans and replicants. The new visuals offer a more detailed look at the futuristic noir aesthetic and the central mystery of the plot.
Michelle Yeoh described her character as someone aware that time is running out and who does not like leaving things unfinished. The trailer includes references to the original slogan “More Human Than Human” and suggests a search for a “cure” for replicants.
