Blade Runner 2099 final trailer shows replicants ruling Los Angeles

Prime Video released the final trailer for Blade Runner 2099 on 9 November, previewing the eight-episode series starring Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer, which streams worldwide in full from 25 November.

TL;DR

• Prime Video dropped the final trailer on 9 November.
• All eight episodes arrive together on 25 November.
• Yeoh plays dying replicant Olwen, and Schafer plays fugitive Cora.
• UK viewers need Prime, from £8.99 a month, with ads included by default.

Replicants now run the city

The series is set 50 years after Blade Runner 2049. According to Amazon’s official series guide, Los Angeles has been reborn, just not by humanity.

Yeoh, the Oscar-winning actor, plays Olwen, a replicant Blade Runner days from dying. Euphoria actor Hunter Schafer plays Cora, a fugitive who takes on one last identity as a Blade Runner.

The pair must hunt a runaway who is hiding a truth that could collapse the city. Gizmodo said the trailer leans into noir tropes, pairing a desperate fugitive with a seasoned pro on one last job.

The outlet also speculated that the secret could rival the 2049 reveal about Rachael and Deckard’s daughter. That is a guess, not a confirmed plot point.

Who made the series

Silka Luisa, creator of Shining Girls, is showrunner and an executive producer. Ridley Scott, who directed the original film, is also an executive producer, according to Amazon.

Jonathan van Tulleken (Shōgun) directs the first two episodes. Dimitri Abold and Lewis Gribben are series regulars.

Recurring guest stars include Daniel Rigby, Johnny Harris, Tom Burke, Sheila Atim, Matthew Needham and Maurizio Lombardi. Prime Video showed the first trailer at San Diego Comic-Con in July.

What UK viewers need to know

All eight episodes land on 25 November in more than 240 countries and territories, UK included. There is no weekly drip.

Prime costs £8.99 a month or £95 a year in the UK, according to Household Money Saving. Ads are included by default, and going ad-free adds £2.99 a month.

The cast has a strong British bench, with Gribben, Rigby, Harris, Burke and Needham all UK actors. The release also follows The Rings of Power season three, due on the same service on 11 November.

Cyberpunk fans have another date to note. Apple TV’s Neuromancer premieres on 22 January.
