The first look at Blade Runner 2099 is here, and showrunner Silk Luisa has finally given us some details about the plot, along with some pretty rad news about working one-on-one with franchise creator (and absolute legend) Ridley Scott.
"There's been a replicant uprising that feels like it's been bubbling up," Luisa told Entertainment Weekly. The spin-off show, which stars Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer, is set 50 years after the events of Blade Runner 2049. It was first announced in 2021, and finished filming in 2024. "And between 2049 and 2099, that's happened. So the war has happened and the humans have lost. Our worst fears imagined. The replicants are now the power brokers of the city. And humans are the second-class citizens."
