We know more about the serial sequel to Blade Runner, which will in fact be the sequel to Blade Runner 2049 by Denis Villeneuve (see After the Alien series, the Blade Runner series already in preparation).
A woman in charge
Silka Luisa, the showrunner of Shining Girls on Apple TV, will be the lead writer and co-executive producer of the series which now has an official name: Blade Runner 2099. It will be the first Blade Runner live action series after the series animated Blade Runner: Black Lotus of 2021.
Priority project

The original film dates from 1982 and starred Harrison Ford . The latter then resumed his role in the sequel to Denis Villeneuve released in 2017.
