Prime Video is giving Blade Runner fans one final look at its new limited series, Blade Runner 2099, ahead of its premiere later this month. As you can probably guess from the title, the upcoming show takes place 50 years after the events of Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049, which starred Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling. In the latest installment of the sci-fi franchise, the future isn’t particularly bright for humanity, as replicants have become the dominant species and hold power over humans. That’s where Hunter Schafer’s Cora comes in. A fugitive, she goes undercover at the LAPD as a Blade Runner to work from the inside and save her fellow humans. “I can’t work. I can’t move. There’s no place else to go,” she says in the final trailer, released today.
