🎬 The Blade Runner universe is back — and the power balance has flipped

Quick context: Blade Runner is Ridley Scott's 1982 sci-fi classic about humans and engineered humanoids called replicants. The 2017 sequel went quiet after that.

The first live-action series in franchise history lands November 25 on Prime Video. Eight episodes, Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer leading, Scott as executive producer.

The trailer is dense neon cyberpunk — and looks expensive. Set 50 years after 2049, replicants now run society, humans are the minority. Schafer plays blade runner Cora; Yeoh plays the replicant she reluctantly teams up with. Billed as a limited series — one contained story, full stop.

For a franchise that's struggled with sequels, that might be exactly right.
