Blade Runner 2099 Final Trailer: Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer Face a Replicant-Ruled Los Angeles Ahead of November 25 Premiere
Prime Video has released the final trailer for Blade Runner 2099, the last look at the series before all eight episodes arrive on November 25, 2026. The limited series stars Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer, and it will stream in more than 240 countries and territories.
Set in Los Angeles in 2099, fifty years after Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049, the series imagines a city where the power has flipped: replicants now rule, and humanity is on the ropes. Yeoh plays Olwen, a veteran Blade Runner nearing the end of her life, who partners with Cora, played by Schafer — a fugitive who goes undercover inside the LAPD to work from within and save her fellow humans. Created by Silka Luisa and produced by Amazon MGM Studios and the Alcon Television Group, the pair investigate a conspiracy that stretches back to the city’s darkest sins.
The final trailer opens with the question that frames the whole series — “Are you a good human or a bad one?” — over images of a smoke-choked, neon-drenched Los Angeles. It is the third major look at the show after a teaser at San Diego Comic-Con and a trailer at New York Comic Con, and it leans hardest on the human cost of the new order: Cora’s cover, Olwen’s failing body, and a city that no longer belongs to the people who built it. Prime Video is also streaming both Blade Runner: The Final Cut and Blade Runner 2049 for viewers catching up first.
What makes this one worth watching closely is the shape of the bet. Blade Runner has always rewarded patience — the 1982 original underperformed on release and grew into a classic, and the 2017 sequel was admired more than it was embraced at the box office. A tight eight-episode limited series is the right container for that kind of storytelling, and the casting is the strongest of any streaming sci-fi this year: Yeoh, an Academy Award winner, opposite Schafer, whose Euphoria work made her one of the most sought-after young actors in Hollywood. Dropping all eight episodes at once on November 25 also turns the premiere into an event — the same week The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping opens in cinemas, making late November a genuine showdown between cinema and streaming.
