Blade Runner 2099 trailer shows replicants ruling the world
Blade Runner 2099 is a Prime Video series set 50 years after the events of Blade Runner 2049.
In its story, replicants have won a war against humans and now rule the world.
Some humans are being hunted by replicant Blade Runners, and Cora, played by Hunter Schafer, disguises herself as one of them.
