The sequel to Blade Runner 2049, Blade Runner 2099, by Silka Luisa has reportedly wrapped filming. The reports suggested that the film that began filming early in May 2024 completed production late in December.
The project was first announced in November 2021 by Ridley Scott. The project got the title Blade Runner 2099 early in 2022. The television miniseries' technical crew went through shuffles and rejigs. After Amazon ordered the show, Jeremy Podeswa was roped in to serve as executive producer and direct the pilot episode in March 2023. Podeswa exited the project in early 2024, making way to Jonathan Van Tullekan.
The series will be a sequel to the 2017 Denis Villeneuve film Blade Runner 2049, which starred Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Robin Wright, Mackenzie Davis, Dave Bautista, and Jared Leto. Blade Runner 2049 was a sequel to the 1982 Ridley Scott film Blade Runner.
The series stars Michelle Yeoh, Hunter Schafer, Johnny Harris, Amy Lennox, Sheila Atim, Tom Burke, Maurizio Lombardi, and Matthew Needham as part of the recurring star cast. Additional cast includes Dimitri Abold, Lewis Gribben, Katelyn Rose Downey, and Daniel Rigby.
Silka Luisa will be the showrunner and executive producer along with Ridley Scott, Alcon Entertainment's Andrew Kosove, Broderick Johnson, and Ben Roberts, Scott Free Productions' David W. Zucker and Clayton Krueger, Tom Spezialy, Richard Sharkey, Michael Green, Cynthia Yorkin, Frank Giustra, and Isa Dick Hackett.
