‘Blade Runner 2099’ Creator on Connecting the Show to the Movies
A live-action Blade Runner TV show is coming to Prime Video in November, and you’d be correct in thinking you hadn’t heard much of anything about it until, like, yesterday. San Diego Comic-Con brought out the first teaser and first real details for Blade Runner 2099, which stars Michelle Yeoh as a Replicant Blade Runner whose life is winding down and Hunter Schafer as a human pretending to be a Replicant who works alongside her. Blade Runner 2099 will run eight episodes, providing more ground to cover than Ridley Scott’s original film—released in 1982, but set in 2019—or Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049.
