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 would die if modern entertainment was anywhere near as good as the quality we got before the 2000's started.
Sorry mate, but nothing has managed to top Lethal Weapon and until it does the 80s will never die.

Which is why the entertainment industry needs to stop living in the past and have an original thought.

Plenty of Replicants in Hollywood, so they won't have trouble casting.

They're too afraid of risking it with new IP. Especially since they need to queer it up first.

good. the only way to recup the lost money

Cyberpunk is a dead genre because we already live in a futuristic dystopia and it's boring

 

[A Sentient Cloud]

Let me guess, it's gonna be about Replicants' rights, and will be a thinly veiled allegory for racism or troonery or something. It will star a black woman and it will be bad.

I've seen things you niggas wouldn't believe...drive bys where no innocent bystander was hurt, peaceful Black Lives Matter protests lighting up the horizon. All those moments in time will be busted now nigga, like malt liquor down the drain.

It never ends...

The worst part? The good stuff disappears like tears in the rain. But we'll be stuck with this garbage for at least one season.

I was reminded of this Blade Runner series again when I saw a preview for the Let The Right One In series for Showtime. I only caught the tail end so I don't know how woked up it's gonna be. But I read the book and saw the original film and I'm not gonna have high hopes. Especially with the whole gender issue. It's nothing to celebrate and is described as a horrific and painful ritualistic act by a pedopire.

It'd be nice if they adapt the novel and tighten that story up a bit. It has some mundane depressive moments that hits different from the cool emo depressive moments from the movies.
A 50 years time skip is a bold move, but I doubt they would be able to pull that off.
