Production

In November 2021, Ridley Scott announced that a pilot for a Blade Runner television spin-off had been written along with a series bible and initial plans for ten episodes.[1] In February 2022, the series title Blade Runner 2099 was revealed, and it was being developed for Amazon Prime Video. Silka Luisa was writing and executive producing the show, with additional writers to be brought in. Ridley Scott was considered directing in the development phase.[2] Amazon ordered it as a miniseries in September 2022, and Tom Spezialy joined as a writing executive producer.[3] Jeremy Podeswa was hired to executive produce and direct the pilot episode in March 2023.[4] He would exit due to scheduling conflicts by February 2024, with Jonathan Van Tulleken taking over to direct the first two episodes.[5]

The series was getting ready to begin shooting in Belfast, when the production was postponed to 2024 due to the 2023 WGA strike.[6] After the strike was over, the production ended up leaving Northern Ireland entirely. Roughly £1.5 million had been spent of £4.1 million awarded by the Northern Ireland Screen fund, but all money would be returned to the program upon the productions exit from the country.[7] Principal photography began in April 2024, in Prague, Czech Republic.[5]
