Blade Runner TV series in development at Amazon

Blade Runner 2099, a new entry in the Blade Runner franchise that’s planned as a television sequel to the 2017 film Blade Runner 2049, is in development at Amazon Studios, reports Deadline.


The live-action series will be written and executive-produced by Silka Luisa, the showrunner of the Apple TV Plus series Shining Girls, which will premiere this spring. Ridley Scott, the director of the original 1982 film, Blade Runner, will also be an executive producer.

Despite these details, nothing is set in stone. The series is in what Deadline calls “priority development.” This means that Amazon Studios is “fast tracking” scripts and looking into production dates, but that the series isn’t actually underway yet. The production is staffing up a writers room at the moment, according to Deadline, which also reports that Scott himself could direct episodes of the series if it gets greenlit.

This isn’t the first we’ve heard of a Blade Runner TV show. During his double press tour for his films House of Gucci and The Last Duel, Scott said that he was planning a 10-episode series based in the universe. At the time, Scott mentioned that there was a pilot written for the series and a show bible, but it’s unclear if Blade Runner 2099 is the same series that Scott was discussing at the time.

While Blade Runner has had quite a few spinoffs, including animated shorts and the recent anime Blade Runner: Black Lotus, nothing in the series has explored the future past Blade Runner 2049. With a gap of 50 years, there’s really no telling what the new 2099-set series could be about, but we’re guessing replicants will be involved one way or another.

It'll be a "deconstruction" of cyberpunk: "here's why a gray-goo bughive technocracy is acktchually a Stunning and Brave thing! Muh diversity!"

 

[frozenrunner]

Scott is merely contributing his name, and Denis Villeneuve isn't involved?

This is going to be shit.

As much as I love Blade Runner and even really like it's sequel I don't particularly think I have much interest in a series. One of my bigger gripes with 2049 was how it lost the original's almost one of a kind Cyberpunk-Noir. I loved how dense and cluttered Deckard's apartment and all the stuff that was in Sebastian's place.

2049 by comparison had everything be super spartan, minimalistic by contrast. The new villian's base of operations felt like an Apple Store. And yes the point of Sci-Fi is to give us a future dystopia we can imagine but at the same time part of Ridley's groundbreaking film was its visual design.

If it were a spinoff with some other Blade Runner doing routine/wacky things it would be better by default.

is in development at Amazon Studios

The Studio who has brought you such bastardizations as "The Boys," "The Wheel of Time," and, coming soon, "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power"

 

[Red Hood]

Drop your drawers, Blade Runner fans, it's your turn to get fucked.

 

[The Cunting Death]

I'm just amazed Blade Runner 2049 didn't fuck it up.

Razorfist no one cares about your retarded ass opinion

 

[mate]

I can't wait to find out how white people are still the bad guys in 2099.

 

[BooneHelm]

It will basically be "This is a futuristic dystopian world and here's why we should be building towards it" the movie

unpopular opinion but I liked 2049 more (except for flashback scenes to the original, which seemed like a poor fan service, and for Ford phoning it in). True it lost the cyberpunk charm, but the visuals were absolutely stunning and great in their own way.

Nothing but miles and miles of tranny replicant-cock. Main character is gonna be bi, and frequent the sex clubs. Calling it now.

 

[Irrelevant]

There's enough going on in the book to make a series but the films have kind of flipped the message of what they did include so it won't happen.

 

[sleepy-jezza]

1. Pick old IP and make it into budget TV show full with diversity and progressive politics.
2. Nobody watches TV show. Show flops.
3. Call fans of original IP racist and bigots.
4. Pick another IP and do it all over again.

I wonder if we'll get the "It's not supposed to be good" excuse we got with Cowboy Bebop.

Can't wait to see how many trannies they interject into it.

 

[Samir]

They'll absolutely do something ridiculous where they make a statement with trannies and replicants

[Standardized Profile]

Bladerunner was never my thing, but my irises are reacting in an autonomic response to the sympathy I feel for you, blade-bros.

Oh

Oh
