Despite being set in the same world, 50 years later, Blade Runner 2099 is not “directly connected” to Denis Villeneuve’s 2017 sequel Blade Runner 2049, and won’t address the game-changing events of that movie, according to showrunner Silka Luisa.

“No, [Blade Runner 2049] is not directly connected to the show,” Luisa told SFX magazine, which features the Prime Video limited series on the new cover. “What was an important early mandate was that audiences could come to the show not having seen the films, and this could stand alone.”
