Blade Runner 2099 Trailer Teases Replicant Mystery With Hunter Schafer and Michelle Yeoh
Prime Video unveiled a new trailer for the limited series Blade Runner 2099 at New York Comic Con 2026, offering an expanded look at the show’s central mystery and its lead characters. The science fiction series, premiering in November 2026, stars Hunter Schafer as Cora and Michelle Yeoh as Olwen.
The trailer reveals the story’s driving plot: the disappearance of 38 replicants over the past year. Cora, a fugitive on the run, crosses paths with Olwen, a replicant near death, as they uncover a conspiracy connected to a criminal gang of replicants who reject the notion that replicants should feel compelled to act human. This philosophical departure explores themes of replicant autonomy and identity within the franchise’s established dystopian setting.
The Amazon-backed limited series represents a significant expansion of the Blade Runner universe beyond its film foundation. With acclaimed actor Michelle Yeoh and rising star Hunter Schafer headlining the cast, the production positions itself as a major streaming event for Prime Video’s science fiction slate. The new footage released to NYCC attendees and online viewers provided deeper insight into the show’s neo-noir aesthetic and the complex relationship between its protagonists, setting expectations for the November premiere.
