Beyond the Alien series, Ridley Scott’s other flourishing franchise – Blade Runner – is making a comeback. After Scott directed the original in 1982 and Denis Villeneuve brought us Blade Runner 2049 in 2017, Prime Video is now developing a limited series titled Blade Runner 2099. The upcoming show stars Michelle Yeoh, an Academy Award winner, as a Replicant nearing the end of its lifespan. Additionally, you’ll see Hunter Schafer (Euphoria), Dimitri Abold (The Hunger Games franchise), Katelyn Rose Downey (The Nun II), Lewis Gribben (Somewhere Boy), and Daniel Rigby (Renegade Nell) as regular cast members. Alongside these talented actors, Amy Lennox (Holby City), Johnny Harris (A Gentleman In Moscow), Sheila Atim (The Woman King), and Matthew Needham (House of the Dragon) will also be part of the series. To top it off, Deadline reports that Tom Burke (Furiousa: A Mad Max Saga) and Maurizio Lombardi (Ripley) will also join the cast.
