Apple TV+ might be the current king of sci-fi streaming, but Prime Video has ambitions to steal that crown. Not only has it had enormous success withFalloutthis year already, but there’s a few shows and films in the pipeline that could do the trick.
As well as a second season of its most recent hit, a whole universe of movies and TV series based on theWarhammer 40Ktabletop games are planned, and Ryan Gosling ofBarbieandBlade Runner 2049fame is set to star inProject Hail Mary, based on a another novel from the author ofThe Martian.
However, speaking ofBlade Runner, it could be a related new show that trumps them all. Production onBlade Runner 2099is underway and the TV sequel to Gosling’s movie (itself a follow-up to the 1982 original) has the heritage to be thestreaming service’sbiggest hit yet.
We previously found out that Michelle Yeoh (Star Trek: Discovery,Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) will beone of the lead characters in the new seriesand now we’ve heard who will join her.
Industry insider Daniel Richtman revealed onhis Patreon pagethat Hunter Schafer (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes,Cuckoo) will co-star alongside Yeoh.
Richtman also previously revealed plot details of the previously, highly-secretive show. It is set in Los Angles in 2099 – 50 years after the exploits of the last move. Schafer plays Cora who partners with suspected replicant and Blade Runner Olwen (Yeoh) as they encounter a “widening conspiracy” that threatens LA.

We suspect Blade Runner 2099 will be somewhat a step up for him though, considering the level of cinematography the two movies achieved – it’ll be interesting to see how much he can pull off with a tighter budget.
Amazonis certainly betting big on his talents and the show in general. Although we’re unlikely to see the results on ourstreaming devicesand TVs until late 2025 at the very earliest, considering the amount of work that still needs to be done.
