Blade Runner is getting a sequel TV show. Amazon is developing Blade Runner 2099 with Ridley Scott executive producing.
Blade Runner 3 is coming as Amazon plans a Blade Runner 2049 sequel TV show. Ridley Scott directed the original sci-fi classic Blade Runner back in 1982.
Of course Scott’s Blade Runner famously never took on a final form as different cuts of the film emerged over the years. The visually stunning sci-fi movie’s status as a cult classic also guaranteed that fans would forever pine for a sequel. That sequel finally happened in 2018 with Denis Villeneuve taking on directorial duties and Harrison Ford returning in the role of Deckard alongside Ryan Gosling.
Blade Runner 2099 is indeed the first live-action Blade Runner TV show to go into development. There is of course also the Blade Runner: Black Lotus anime show on Adult Swim, set in the year 2032. The original Blade Runner was famously set in Los Angeles in the far-off year of 2019, and involved Ford’s Deckard hunting down rogue synthetic humans, referred to as “replicants.
Blade Runner now heading to the small screen after two movies made decades apart should frankly not be a huge surprise after 2049 did only $259 million at the box office on a reported budget of up to $185 million. At the same time it’s still sad to think of Blade Runner being diminished in scope after the visual feast provided by the two movies.
