With the much-discussed series Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power, the most expensive series of all time, to be in progress, the Amazon will be adding another epic fantasy series, sci-fi this time, to its portfolio.

The reason for his legendary franchise Blade Runner, with the series being titled Blade Runner 2099. As the title suggests, the new series will take place half a century after its sequel Denis Villeneuve Blade Runner 2049 starring Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford and Ana de Armas.

The production for the new project of the Amazon Prime platform is undertaken by the British director Ridley Scott and his studio Scott Free Productions. Scott had directed the first landmark film for science fiction, to the score of the unforgettable Vangelis Papathanasiou.

“The original Blade Runner, directed by Ridley Scott, is considered one of the greatest and most important science fiction films of all time, and we are thrilled to bring Blade Runner 2099 to our customers worldwide,” said Vernon Sanders head of Amazon Studios. “We are honored to be able to present this continuation of the Blade Runner franchise and we are confident that working with Ridley, Alcon Entertainment, Scott Free Productions and the extremely talented Silka Luisa (screenplay), Blade Runner 2099 will maintain the level, thematic and the spirit of its cinematic predecessors” he added.
