Blade Runner 2099 Trailer Teases Replicant Mystery With Hunter Schafer and Michelle Yeoh

Prime Video unveiled a fresh Blade Runner 2099 trailer at New York Comic Con 2026, offering deeper insights into the enigma surrounding the missing Replicants and showcasing the performances of Hunter Schafer and Michelle Yeoh. The Amazon-backed limited series unfolds in a dystopian Los Angeles, 50 years after the events of Blade Runner 2049, where humanity's rebirth isn't the city's origin.

Cora, portrayed by Schafer, embarks on one final run as a Blade Runner, partnering with Olwen, a Replicant on the brink of death, to uncover a fugitive who bears the key to unraveling a city's precarious balance. The trailer, now available, complements the earlier teaser from San Diego Comic-Con 2026, revealing that 10 female and 18 male Replicants have vanished in the past year.

Olwen, played by Yeoh, remarks that a mysterious figure knows the cure for all Replicants. The series, set for a November 25, 2026 release, will feature eight episodes released simultaneously for viewers to binge-watch.
