It ’s a very big time to be a replicant , but that make it a very good metre to be a lover of Ridley Scott ’s 1983 sci - fi masterpieceBlade Runner . Not only did we receive a surprisingly good , if entirely unnecessary , sequelin 2017 thanks toDunedirector Denis Villeneuve , but the Blade Runner : Black Lotusanime spin - offseries just premiered on Adult Swim before this month . Now , the human beings who started it all is going back to the far - off Los Angeles of … 2019 ?
Actually , all we know for sure is what Scott tell the BBC ( viaIndiewire ) in an audience held earlier today : “ We [ have already ] written the pilot for Blade Runner and the [ series ] Word . So , we ’re already presenting Blade Runner as a television show , the first 10 hours . ” pass on that there ’s probable to be a bidding war between networks and cyclosis services for a series with such a huge , built - in cult following , I call up we can all rest assured this serial publication will make it to TV screens .
So the question is , what will the show be about ? The immediate answer would be more dangerous undertaking of Rick Deckard , played by Harrison Ford , belike prior to the event of the first movie . It could just be a series of his other Blade Runner compositor’s case hunt down the rogue bioengineered existence called Replicants , which sound awe-inspiring . However , as alluded to before , the futuristic result of the first picture take blank space in 2019 , which could be awkward depending on how tie into the franchise ’s persistence Scott wants to be . It could also be prepare in 2049 , the era of Villeneuve ’s sequel , and show other cases of K , assuming Ryan Gosling would be interested in doing more . But the serial could take place then , or earlier , or another era totally with all novel characters — it ’s not like Deckard and K were ever the only Blade Runners working in the greater Los Angeles megalopolis field , let alone the rest period of the world .

Blade Runner is the second of Scott ’s two greatest films to get a lively - action TV serial publication . The first isAlien , which is being oversee by Fargo and Legion ’s Noah Hawley , without the theatre director ’s involvement . Suffice it to say , he is unenthusiastic about the project . There ’s been no announcement for when either Alien or Blade Runner will make their room to TV , but you may currently watch Blade Runner : Black Lotus Sundays on Adult Swim .
