A New Chapter Set 50 Years After ‘Blade Runner 2049’
Set 50 years after the events of Blade Runner 2049, the new series returns to a Los Angeles that has been reborn, but not through humanity alone.
The story follows Cora, a fugitive who has spent her life assuming different identities to survive. In a final attempt to escape her past, she takes on one last identity as a Blade Runner. Her mission brings her together with Olwen, a Replicant who has only days left to live.
Together, they hunt down a runaway whose hidden truth threatens to unravel the fragile stability of their city. As the investigation unfolds, the series is set to explore the complex relationship between humans and Replicants in a world where identity, survival, and the meaning of humanity remain central questions.
