Amazon has announced Blade Runner 2099, a live-action TV sequel to the sci-fi classic, Blade Runner.
Per its title, the upcoming Blade Runner show will take place 50 years after the recent sequel, Blade Runner 2049, with showrunner Silka Luisa (Shining Girls) at the helm. Blade Runner director Ridley Scott and Blade Runner 2049 writer Michael Green will serve as executive producers. Tom Spezialy (The Leftovers) is the first to join the writer's room and will also executive produce.
“We are honored to be able to present this continuation of the Blade Runner franchise, and are confident that by teaming up with Ridley, Alcon Entertainment, Scott Free Productions, and the remarkably talented Silka Luisa, Blade Runner 2099 will uphold the intellect, themes, and spirit of its film predecessors,” said Amazon Studios head of global television, Vernon Sanders.

Has anyone successfully touched a Denis Villaneuve vision and even held a candle to it?
There is already and animated Blade Runner show. it was good, the few times I was able to see it.
It’s the Cyberpunk property that everyone seems to want, and is continually botched into oblivion. Soon there won’t be anything left.
Another beloved movie universe to destroy. This time with gender bending replicants.
So if Amazon is making it, then the main character will be a obese black female lesbian midget with an astigmatism.
Meh, Amazon already tried an animated Blade Runner series and it stunk. I’ll be skipping this.
Why don’t they start with a fresh story? There are thousands of novels from which to choose.
Both films were financial losers...
Nothing tops the original. And no Rutger Hauer either.
It'd be a first if it did. Amazon managed to turn Lord Of The Rings into Galadriel Croft, Tomb Raider.
All these reboots are wokeness destroying the franchises, just using their names to get people to watch, then when they find out, the ratings crater. Ie the rings of power...
Yes, we have been watching it. I keep waiting to be entertained....
Guaranteed to be about butt-buggers and lesbos...
Is that Black woman supposed to be an Elf? Never seen an obese one before.
Woke pervert robots.
No she’s a dwarf woman.
Kinda like Ghost in the Shell. Everyone wants to do it, they all suck
