A live-action 'Blade Runner' sequel series, titled 'Blade Runner 2099', is currently under development at Amazon.
According to Variety, the series will serve as a follow-up to the 'Blade Runner' sequel 'Blade Runner 2049'. Silka Luisa will write and executive produce, with Ridley Scott set to executive produce via Scott Free Productions.

Apart from the two films, Adult Swim recently aired the anime series 'Blade Runner: Black Lotus', which takes place in the year 2032.
As per Variety, Scott had previously teased that a 'Blade Runner' live-action series was in the works, telling the BBC in November 2021 that the pilot had already been written and a series bible had been prepared.
