Amazon Prime Video has unveiled the first teaser for the series «Blade Runner 2099».

The new project continues the story of Denis Villeneuve’s acclaimed franchise, transporting viewers to a world set 50 years after the events of «Blade Runner 2049».

According to the plot, following an uprising, the replicants have seized control of Los Angeles, leaving humans to live as second-class citizens.

At the center of the story are Olwen, a replicant and blade runner portrayed by Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh, and Cora, played by «Euphoria» star Hunter Schafer. Cora is a human forced to pose as a replicant in order to survive.

Like the previous adaptations, the series is based on Philip K. Dick’s legendary novel «Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?», which served as the foundation for the entire franchise.

The series is helmed by showrunner Silka Luisa, best known for her work on «Shining Girls». Notably, director Ridley Scott also contributed to the development of the new project.

The first season premieres on November 25 this year and will consist of eight episodes.

Addressing the crowd, the actress shared that her husband, Jean Todt — whom she married in 2023 — is currently traveling, but she had «allowed» him to miss the important occasion.

«Thank you for coming and for being part of my life at different moments, not only the bright ones. Your support means so much to me,» she said in her speech. «My brother and his beautiful wife surprised me by flying in yesterday from Malaysia. Thank you to my husband, who is not here because I allowed him to travel to India. Thank you all for surrounding me with love, for being my refuge, and for helping me stay true to my own star,» Yeoh added.
