By Wesley Yin-Poole Updated : Jul 24, 2026 8:45pm UTC 180 comments Add IGN on Google Prime Video has revealed Blade Runner 2099 with a debut trailer at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, and confirmed all eight episodes will drop on November 25, 2026.
If you thought the world of Blade Runner couldn’t get any more intriguing, hold onto your hoverboards because Amazon just dropped a new trailer for ‘Blade Runner 2099’ at New York Comic Con. Yes, folks, we’re diving back into a dystopian future that’s somehow both exciting and terrifying at the same time. Think of it as the perfect setting for a philosophical debate about humanity, or just a really cool backdrop for an action-packed series.
Set a whopping 50 years after the events of ‘Blade Runner 2049’, this new limited series promises to take us into a reborn Los Angeles. Yes, it’s still Los Angeles, but now it’s reborn, like a phoenix rising from the ashes or that one friend who keeps reinventing themselves every few years.
The trailer introduces us to Cora, played by Hunter Schafer, who is not just your average fugitive; she’s taking on the final identity of a Blade Runner. That’s right, she’s out there hunting down replicants—because what’s life without a little existential crisis, right? And if that wasn’t enough, she’s forced to partner up with the legendary Olwen, portrayed by the magnificent Michelle Yeoh. You know, just your typical day in the life of a fugitive.
Now, if you’re wondering what the duo is up to, they’re on a mission to find a “cure for all replicants.” Because, apparently, curing replicants is the new black in the world of futuristic fashion. One can only imagine what that entails: a serum, a magical incantation, or perhaps just a really long conversation about feelings.
As we gear up for the series, it’s worth noting that the original ‘Blade Runner’ films have always tackled massive themes like what it means to be human and the implications of artificial intelligence. So, if you’re expecting a mindless action flick, think again! This show is likely to make you ponder your existence while simultaneously questioning your relationship with your smartphone.
And let’s not overlook the fact that the visuals in the trailer are nothing short of stunning. It’s like they took the original film’s aesthetic, cranked it up to eleven, and sprinkled in some futuristic flair. You’ll be left wondering if you should be taking notes for your own future home decor—because who wouldn’t want neon lights and a hint of grime?
So, mark your calendars and prepare for a journey into the future that promises to be both thrilling and thought-provoking. After all, if you can’t figure out your own life, you might as well get lost in someone else’s dystopian drama. ‘Blade Runner 2099’ is set to be the perfect blend of sci-fi action and deep philosophical musings, with a side of ‘What the heck is going on?’ that we all crave in our entertainment.
In the meantime, let’s just hope they remembered to include some flying cars. Because if we’re going to the future, we might as well do it in style!
