Blade Runner 2099 premieres Wednesday, November 25, 2026, exclusively on Prime Video — and Amazon is dropping all eight episodes at once, so there is no weekly wait. To watch in the US, all you need is a Prime Video subscription (or an Amazon Prime membership that includes it).
The long-gestating sequel series expands the world of Ridley Scott’s 1982 original and Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049, this time jumping another 50 years into the future. Here is exactly when it lands, how to stream it, and what you are getting into.
When does Blade Runner 2099 come out?
All eight episodes of the limited series arrive together on Wednesday, November 25, 2026, on Prime Video in the US and more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. Because it is a single-drop release rather than a weekly rollout, you can watch the entire story in one sitting on day one.
Amazon has not published an exact release time. Prime Video’s big titles typically unlock in the small hours — around 12 a.m. PT (3 a.m. ET) — so West Coast viewers can often start late on November 24, while East Coast viewers should be set by the early morning of November 25.
Where to watch and how much it costs
Blade Runner 2099 streams only on Prime Video. In the US, Prime Video is included with an Amazon Prime membership, which costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year. If you do not want full Prime, a standalone Prime Video plan runs $8.99 per month. Prime Video includes limited ads by default; an ad-free upgrade is an extra $2.99 per month. No separate purchase or rental is required — the series is part of the subscription catalog.
What is Blade Runner 2099 about?
Set in the year 2099, the series unfolds 50 years after the events of Blade Runner 2049, continuing the neo-noir universe first imagined in Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? It keeps the franchise’s central tension — the blurred line between humans and bioengineered replicants — while pushing the timeline into a new era of the story. As a self-contained limited series, it is designed to tell one complete arc rather than set up an open-ended, multi-season run.
Cast and crew
Michelle Yeoh headlines as Olwen, with Euphoria breakout Hunter Schafer co-starring. The series is run by showrunner Silka Luisa (Shining Girls), and Ridley Scott — director of the 1982 original — executive produces through his Scott Free banner. That combination of a franchise architect behind the camera and a pair of high-profile leads in front of it is the main reason Blade Runner 2099 has been one of Prime Video’s most closely watched genre bets.
