Rumoured-a-plenty for quite a while now, I wasn’t sure if Blade Runner 2099 would see the light of the hazed, futuristic day but Amazon MGM Studios and Alcon Television Group surprised us with a new trailer and further reveals at SDCC 2026 last week!

Hitting the streaming platform, Prime Video, as a limited series on 25 November 2026, the teaser certainly has a feeling of both Blade Runner (of which I’m a lifelong fan) and Blade Runner 2049 but it’s difficult to tell of the quality of the story in the middle, at this stage anyway, despite it looking violent enough to fit the right dirty dystopian criteria.

While I believe it’s been in post-production for a couple of years, the scale of the creation would make sense, but I can’t shake the sense of videogame and over-explanation even in this teaser, although it might be trying to appeal to a broader audience, and I’ll apply that concern because it seems a little too clean and shiny – compared to the stunning work on the likes of Andor, and Stranger Things, at their absolute peak.

Anyway, it does star Michelle Yeoh in a key role, plus Hunter Schafer, Dimitri Abold, and Lewis Gribben together with Katelyn Rose Downey, Daniel Rigby, Johnny Harris, Amy Lennox, Sheila Atim, Matthew Needham, Tom Burke and Maurizio Lombardi as recurring guest stars – all from showrunner Silka Luisa.
