Blade Runner’s Universe Will Expand With New Prime Video Series

TheBlade Runner - aissance is near , especially now that we ’re getting a new live - actionseries from Prime Video . After Denis Villeneuve ’s 2017 film Blade Runner 2049 , starring Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling , convey replicants back onto the braggy screen , it was only a matter of meter before a TV show came on the horizon . ( Not to mention thecomics , ananimated serial , and anRPG , all made within the last five years . )

Blade Runner 2099 will be a limited - run tv set series , executive develop by Ridley Scott , the managing director of the original 1982 Blade Runner film , in partnership with his production studio Scott Free Productions and Alcon Productions , which is principally a moneyman of films and also helped grow Blade Runner 2049 . Silka Luisa is limit to take on the showrunner persona — she ’s best known for executive director acquire and writingShining fille , the psychological whodunnit of shift realitystarring Elisabeth Moss .

One of my favourite screenwriters , Michael Green(Bioshock , Logan , American Gods , Kings ) who pen the Blade Runner 2049 film , is currently associated with this yield in a non - writing executive producer role . Currently the writers foretell include Luisa and Tom Spezialy ( Watchmen , Ash vs Evil Dead ) . Scott has been shopping this around for a while , so it ’s nice to see it finally has a home , even if it will be available ( somewhat ironically ) only through one of the largest mega - corporations of our time .
