'More human than human. That's not a slogan; it's a shackle'

New 'Blade Runner 2099' trailer is a space fan's dream with sinister starships and strange exoplanets (video)

Riding a downpour, clad in tattered coats, and accompanied by a haunting dystopian score, the highly anticipated Blade Runner 2099 trailer has just made its debut at New York Comic-Con. Set in a neon-lit dystopia, the film stars Michelle Yeoh as the ailing replicant Blade Runner, Olwen, alongside Hunter Schafer as Cora, a pure human seeking to evade a team of exterminating Blade Runners while unraveling the mysteries of their existence.

Blade Runner 2099, set to release on Prime Video on November 25, 2026, promises to delve deeper into the conflict between artificial beings and humanity, as the original makers are now under the control of the resentful artificial entities. The trailer showcases the futuristic world of the City of Angels, but also introduces an exciting new element - space travel and encounters with strange exoplanets.

With a star-studded cast including Michelle Yeoh, Dimitri Abold, Lewis Gribben, and many others, Blade Runner 2099 is set to redefine the cyberpunk genre on Prime Video.
