The first teaser trailer and release date for Prime Video's upcoming Blade Runner 2099 TV show at San Diego Comic-Con 2026
In the brief clip, which can be viewed above, we meet Cora (Hunter Schafer), a human who is struggling to survive in a post-war future where the replicants have won. "How much longer until we have nothing... until we are nothing?" she asks in voiceover, as we see a montage of both chaos and violence (and there's a pretty surprising scene involving her head being smashed against a window that might make you a little queasy). She meets up with Olwen (Michelle Yeoh), a replicant near the end of her life.... but we don't quite yet kow what her motives are.
The spin-off series is set 50 years after the events of Blade Runner 2049, and is slated for a November 25 release. The official synopsis reads, "The war has happened and the humans have lost. Our worst fears imagined. The replicants are now the power brokers of the city. And humans are the second-class citizens." The impossibly bleak tagline is: "Welcome to a future we no longer control."
"There was a moment of just letting go… I was like, 'OK, we’re really going out there with this,'" star Tom Burke has said of the show, adding that it will be "much closer to the aesthetic of the first movie than the second movie" as it contains "that somewhat kind of Baroque, eclectic mix of cultures and time periods."
Blade Runner 2099 comes out on November 25, 2026. In the meantime, check out our guide to the most exciting upcoming TV shows to fill out your watchlist.
