EW has a new look at the upcoming Blade Runner series.
“There’s been a replicant uprising that feels like it’s been bubbling up,” Showrunner Silka Lousia explains. “And between 2049 and 2099, that’s happened. So the war has happened and the humans have lost… The replicants are now the power brokers of the city, and humans are the second-class citizens.”
Michelle Yeoh is playing a replicant Blade Runner named Olwen. Hunter Schafer is playing a human who is a fugitive and has spent her life running from Blade Runners and now has to pretend to be one. Olwen and Cora will be working together and investigating a group of missing rogue replicants.
