upcoming Blade Runner 2099 TV show at San Diego Comic-Con 2026<\/p>\n<p>In the brief clip, which can be viewed above, we meet Cora (Hunter Schafer), a human who is struggling to survive in a post-war future where the replicants have won. &#8220;How much longer until we have nothing&#8230; until we are nothing?&#8221; she asks in voiceover, as we see a montage of both chaos and violence (and there&#8217;s a pretty surprising scene involving her head being smashed against a window that might make you a little queasy). She meets up with Olwen (Michelle Yeoh), a replicant near the end of her life&#8230;. but we don&#8217;t quite yet kow what her motives are.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-seasonal\"\/><\/p>\n<aside data-article-category=\"entertainment\" data-block-type=\"embed\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\" class=\"hawk-root\"\/>\n<p id=\"elk-a5f0ec1e-85d6-11f1-b5ab-75904cb7b48f-2\">The spin-off series is set 50 years after the events of Blade Runner 2049, and is slated for a November 25 release. The official synopsis reads, &#8220;The war has happened and the humans have lost. Our worst fears imagined. The replicants are now the power brokers of the city. And humans are the second-class citizens.&#8221; The impossibly bleak tagline is: &#8220;Welcome to a future we no longer control.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel=\"\" data-jwp-carousel-payload=\"{&quot;ids&quot;:{&quot;playerID&quot;:&quot;0SRhEcng&quot;,&quot;searchPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;Irbe0LwM&quot;,&quot;divID&quot;:&quot;botr_Irbe0LwM_0SRhEcng_div&quot;,&quot;fallbackPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;bOTdLUGA&quot;,&quot;fallbackDivID&quot;:&quot;botr_bOTdLUGA_0SRhEcng_div&quot;,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;Ld6aVtD9fPJ4aBQnv6LOGQGu7L2Hq4xGja5LUwPV6j+es5u8&quot;,&quot;tintLogo&quot;:true,&quot;useSearchPlaylist&quot;:false,&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;signPostingEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;signPostingLinkEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;waitForAdLoad&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnDesktop&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnMobile&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnTablet&quot;:false}\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-nowrap items-center justify-between gap-3 bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-header=\"\">\n<p><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-mobile\"\/><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand\">GamesRadar+<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;There was a moment of just letting go\u2026 I was like, &#8216;OK, we\u2019re really going out there with this,'&#8221; star Tom <a target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamesradar.com\/entertainment\/sci-fi-shows\/blade-runner-2099-will-feel-more-like-the-original-than-denis-villeneuves-version-says-star\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.gamesradar.com\/entertainment\/sci-fi-shows\/blade-runner-2099-will-feel-more-like-the-original-than-denis-villeneuves-version-says-star\/\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.gamesradar.com\/entertainment\/sci-fi-shows\/blade-runner-2099-will-feel-more-like-the-original-than-denis-villeneuves-version-says-star\/\">Burke has said of the show<\/a>, adding that it will be &#8220;much closer to the aesthetic of the first movie than the second movie&#8221; as it contains &#8220;that somewhat kind of Baroque, eclectic mix of cultures and time periods.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Blade Runner 2099 comes out on November 25, 2026.
