With Blade Runner 2099 slated to stream on Prime this year, fans are scrambling for any details on this latest entry into the world of Replicants, noir cops, and mega-corporations. Here's what we know about the production so far.
Blade Runner 2099 Is Deep In Post-Production After Prague Shoot
After wrapping principal photography last year across Prague’s Barrandov Studio and striking locations like the Žižkovský Tunnel, the show is deep into an intensive post-production phase. According to industry insiders familiar with the shoot, the team built a sprawling 2099 cityscape with a heavy blend of practical sets and cutting-edge digital work perfect for a franchise built on detail.
Fans of the original 1982 Blade Runner and Denis Villeneuve’s 2049 will appreciate that this hybrid approach harks back to the franchise’s hallmark look of rain-slicked streets, glowing signs and looming architecture. That atmosphere has been integral to those films, and early reports suggest that 2099 isn’t shying away from that legacy.
Michelle Yeoh’s “Olwen” Character Details
One of the most intriguing notes comes from hints about Michelle Yeoh’s role. She’s set to play a replicant named Olwen who is confronting what may be the end of her own life, echoing the tragic four-year lifespan that was the primary driver in the original film.
Yeoh is enthusiastic about how the show will be received. 'If you love the Blade Runnermovies, you’re going to just adore this,' she says. 'They’ve created a world that even a hardcore Blade Runner fan would go, yeah, I get it.’

Hunter Schafer’s “Cora” Identity: The 'Chameleon'
Adding a fresh layer to the narrative is Hunter Schafer’s fugitive character, Cora, described as a 'chameleon' who uses futuristic tech to assume multiple identities. Reports indicate Cora teams up in some way with Yeoh's replicant character as the latter struggles with her mortality.
Ridley Scott’s “Executive Influence” and 2026 Premiere Window
One reassuring constant for longtime fans is Ridley Scott’s role as Executive Producer. Scott expressed regret at not being more involved in Blade Runner 2049 and indicated that he is heavily invested in the new show. And finally, we have a definite confirmation that the show drops later this year after delays caused by the 2023 strikes and shifting production locations from Belfast to Prague.
As the release gets closer we’re still waiting on trailers and more plot specifics, but these early insights already imply that old fans and new viewers alike are in for something extra thoughtful and visually rich.
