Nov. 9 (UPI) — Prime Video is teasing the new series Blade Runner 2099.
The streaming service shared a final trailer for the show Monday featuring Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once) and Hunter Schafer (Euphoria).
Blade Runner 2099 is a sci-fi drama set in the dystopian future first introduced in Ridley Scott’s 1982 film Blade Runner, based on the Philip K. Richard novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
The series, created by Silka Luisa and executive produced by Scott, takes place 50 years after the events of Denis Villeneuve’s 2017 sequel Blade Runner 2049, in a Los Angeles now ruled by replicants, or bioengineered androids.

Schafer plays Cora, a human fugitive who “takes on one last identity” — a blade runner — in “a final bid to stop running.”
“Forced to partner with Olwen (Yeoh), a Replicant days from dying, she hunts down a runaway hiding a truth that could collapse a fragile city,” an official synopsis reads.
