What happened
Prime Video showed a new trailer for Blade Runner 2099 during New York Comic Con 2026. The streamer describes the production as a new limited series in the Blade Runner franchise and ties the release to Prime Video. An official Prime Video India update also explicitly confirms that it is a new limited series and gives the premiere date as 25 November 2026.
The official description places the story 50 years after Blade Runner 2049 and 80 years after the original Blade Runner. That positions the series firmly in the same future timeline as the earlier films, but with a new setting and a new cast. In the same update, Prime Video confirmed that Blade Runner 2099 will premiere on 25 November 2026, giving the series a concrete release date rather than just a broad window.
Hunter Schafer and Michelle Yeoh lead the cast as Cora and Olwen. According to the synopsis, Cora is a fugitive who must take on one last Blade Runner job, while Olwen is a Replicant with only days left to live. The official description also says Cora must team up with Olwen while they pursue a runaway who could threaten a fragile city. That sets up a story built around pursuit, cooperation and a city under pressure.
The trailer also centres on an investigation into missing Replicants. Reporting says the trailer mentions 10 female and 18 male Replicants who have disappeared over the past year. That detail comes from the trailer description as cited in coverage, so it is best treated as a trailer detail rather than a separate official press note. Even so, both the trailer and the official synopsis point to a disappearance case as the core of the story.

Background
Blade Runner 2099 is an Amazon-backed limited series and marks a new chapter in the franchise that began with Blade Runner and later expanded with Blade Runner 2049. Available information describes the series as a dystopian sci-fi production built around a Replicant disappearance case and a fragile city. The combination of an official synopsis, a trailer and a Prime Video India social post makes it clear that Amazon is positioning the series as a major franchise expansion.
The setting matters because the official description places the series 50 years after Blade Runner 2049 and 80 years after the original Blade Runner. That gives the creators room to introduce a new generation of characters without breaking from the established timeline. Hunter Schafer and Michelle Yeoh are the most prominent names in current coverage, with Cora and Olwen at the centre of the story. The synopsis calls Cora a fugitive who takes on one last Blade Runner assignment, while Olwen is a Replicant with only days to live; that pairing makes their partnership a key part of the series setup.
The trailer adds a concrete mystery: the disappearance of Replicants. Coverage mentions 10 female and 18 male Replicants missing over the past year. That detail fits the broader tone of the franchise, where identity, humanity and technology often sit at the centre of the story. The official description also mentions a runaway that could threaten a fragile city, suggesting the series will follow not just a personal search, but a larger social conflict as well.
Prime Video’s NYCC presentation therefore confirmed two things at once: the series exists as a limited series and it has a fixed premiere date. The official Prime Video India post repeats that information in short form and calls Blade Runner 2099 a new limited series arriving on Prime Video on 25 November 2026. That means the release is now confirmed in multiple ways, both through the trailer reveal and through the official account.
