Prime Video premiered the trailer for limited series "Blade Runner 2099" at New York Comic Con, with all eight episodes slated to debut on the streamer on Nov. 25.
Hunter Schafer stars as fugitive Cora, who assumes a final identity as a Blade Runner and is forced to partner with Michelle Yeoh's near-death Replicant Olwen to track a runaway concealing a truth that could collapse the city.
Dimitri Abold and Lewis Gribben are series regulars, with Katelyn Rose Downey, Daniel Rigby, Johnny Harris, Amy Lennox, Sheila Atim, Matthew Needham, Tom Burke, and Maurizio Lombardi recurring.
Silka Luisa serves as showrunner, creator, and executive producer, while Jonathan van Tulleken executive produced and directed the first two episodes; Ridley Scott, Andrew Kosove, and Broderick Johnson also executive produce.
The series is set 50 years after "Blade Runner 2049" in a reborn Los Angeles, extending a franchise originating with Ridley Scott's 1982 adaptation of Philip K. Dick's 1968 novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"

Why it matters: Prime Video is betting a prestige sci-fi tentpole — eight episodes dropping on a single Nov. 25 date — to anchor its holiday-season subscriber push, pairing Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh with rising star Hunter Schafer under Ridley Scott's executive-producer banner to extend a 40-plus-year franchise built on a 1968 Philip K. Dick novel.
