Blade Runner 2099 showrunner says Ridley Scott “shepherded” her through making new Prime Video show, reveals post-war plot with Replicant uprising
Blade Runner 2099 showrunner Silka Luisa says director Ridley Scott closely guided her while developing Amazon Prime Video’s new series. The project expands the Blade Runner universe and may be significant because Scott’s involvement connects it directly to the creative legacy of the original films.
Luisa revealed that the story is set after a war and includes a Replicant uprising, suggesting a broader political conflict than previous instalments. The series is set in 2099, around 50 years after Blade Runner 2049, though the article does not give a release date.
