In the coming years, the world of Blade Runner shall finally join the big-screen release with a new series titled, Blade Runner 2099. Scheduled to premiere on Prime Video in 2026, the series already creates a lot of buzz as it is a continuation of the story about Los Angeles turned into a dystopian vision.

The show will cover the continuously fading boundaries between humanity and artificial life and is expected to provide a new perspective in the classic neo-noir aesthetic of the Blade Runner universe. The new installment will be a television series that will have a live- action character and this will mark the first time in the franchise history that the world will be expanded not on the setting within the futuristic Los Angeles.

How did The internet react?

There is huge fan hype about Blade Runner 2099. The discussions on the social media have a divided response due to a combination of optimistic anticipation and hesitation as many want the series to uphold the aesthetics of the neo noir of the original series.

 The plot is the subject of discussion, and many people speculate about which new philosophical issues the show will provoke.

Blade Runner 2099 Production Hurdles

The making of Blade Runner 2099 has not been entirely successful. The series had initially been greenlit in 2022, but because of the 2023 writers and actors strikes, delays were experienced. This brought a change in the shooting location, changing it to Prague, the Czech Republic. None of this deterred the show, which has completed filming and is now in post-production. Ridley Scott, the director of the original film in 1982 will be an executive producer safeguarding the possibility of the new series carrying some form of correlations to the creator of the vision of the franchise.

With Scott on board along with showrunner Silka Luisa, the show is devoted to maintaining continuity with the earlier films without being afraid of exploring new and unexplored areas in the story.
