Prime Video revealed the first teaser for Blade Runner 2099 at San Diego Comic-Con, and the sneak peek is as rainy and neon-lit as you’d expect.
The sequel series, executive produced by Blade Runner director Ridley Scott, takes place 50 years after the events of Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049. In those 50 years, Los Angeles has been transformed by a replicant uprising. Now, these synthetic humans are running the show, but that doesn’t mean blade runners aren’t still around to hunt down any replicants who step out of line.
One of those blade runners is Olwen (Michelle Yeoh), a replicant who’s tracking down a group of missing replicants who have gone rogue. With only days left to live, she’ll stop at nothing to complete her mission.
She’ll team up with Cora (Hunter Schafer), a human fugitive who becomes a blade runner in an attempt to finally stop running. The teaser shows her fleeing through Los Angeles and getting captured by Olwen, so it looks like their partnership will get off to a contentious start. Can this unlikely duo find the runaways and save their fragile city from total collapse?
Watch the full teaser above to see Olwen and Cora in action, plus the return of the iconic Voight-Kampff test.
Blade Runner 2049 also stars Dimitri Abold, Lewis Gribben, Katelyn Rose Downey, Daniel Rigby, Johnny Harris, Amy Lennox, Sheila Atim, Matthew Needham, Tom Burke, and Maurizio Lombardi.
Blade Runner 2049 premieres Nov. 20 on Prime Video.
