Plot and Setting

"Fifty years after the events of Blade Runner 2049, Los Angeles has been reborn, just not by humanity"

Prime Video, Official Description

"We are 50 years after 2049, and bad news. The worst has happened. The replicant uprising that has been bubbling up in the films has taken place, and humans have lost"

Silka Luisa, Showrunner

The narrative unfolds in a future Los Angeles shaped by the aftermath of this conflict. Characters operate within a world where social structures have shifted following the defeat of humanity in the replicant rebellion.

"supposed to be looking for human insurgents, humans that continue to fight back"

Silka Luisa, Showrunner

"she’s actually here looking for a Blade Runner who’s gone missing, Merrick, one of her colleagues, and that’s the first time that happened"

Silka Luisa, Showrunner

Characters and Cast

Hunter Schafer leads the ensemble as Cora alongside Michelle Yeoh as Olwen. The supporting cast includes Dimitri Abold, Lewis Gribben, Matthew Needham, Katelyn Rose Downey, Daniel Rigby, Johnny Harris, Amy Lennox, Sheila Atim, Tom Burke, and Maurizio Lombardi.

"more or less a fugitive in hiding from LAPD Blade Runners. Her work gets raided, and she’s gotta go on the run and make sure she protects her little brother, and ultimately undergo this mission where she goes undercover as a Blade Runner with LAPD."

Hunter Schafer, Actor

"She knows the time is running out, and she’s a character that doesn’t like to leave things unfinished."

Michelle Yeoh, Actor

"It was something early on where we wanted to have a visual signifier… to never forget that she’s dying. She’s so powerful. She’s still so vital, and so there needed to be some marker that she could always look down and remember it’s only days"

Silka Luisa, Showrunner

Production Design

"So many of the sets are 360. The lighting is built into them. There are monitors with graphics that background actors are interacting with. There are mechanical elements that are moving. It really feels like a functional environment, and it’s a fake world"

Silka Luisa, Showrunner

"The show is really about a birth"

Silka Luisa, Showrunner
