Prime Video presented the first full trailer for the upcoming series Blade Runner 2099 during the recently concluded New York Comic Con, according to Ars Technica and Mashable.

What happened

At the NYCC event on October 11, 2026, Amazon’s Prime Video streamed a new trailer for Blade Runner 2099. The preview revealed a setting years after the original films, with Los Angeles transformed into a post‑revolutionary city where Replicants have seized power and humans occupy a subordinate status. The series is scheduled to premiere on Prime Video on November 25, 2026.

What the reports add

Ars Technica focused on the visual style of the trailer, noting the “industrial cityscapes and cramped public transportation” that convey a gritty future aesthetic. Mashable highlighted plot specifics, describing the series’ logline that places Replicants in control and introducing the main characters: Michelle Yeoh as Olwen, an aging Replicant Blade Runner, and Hunter Schafer as Cora, a human pretending to be a Replicant. Mashable also mentioned a brief glimpse of a space‑suit‑clad protagonist, suggesting the series may explore the broader Blade Runner universe beyond Earth.

What was said

While neither outlet quoted Amazon executives directly, Mashable reported that fan reaction to the trailer was “overwhelmingly positive,” with particular praise for the visual palette and the series’ detective‑thriller tone.

How it came about

Prime Video’s push into high‑profile original series follows its recent acquisition of exclusive streaming rights to the Emmys, announced in Felo’s coverage on October 6. The platform’s continued investment in flagship content is also reflected in its upcoming Prime Big Deal Days on October 6‑7, 2026, which promote a range of Amazon offerings, including new media releases.
