Blade Runner Crew Gets Bigger! New Cast Members Join the Neon-Soaked Adventure
The highly anticipated Blade Runner 2099 series on Amazon Prime Video just added a whole bunch of new actors to its cast, and it’s looking more epic than a rainy night in Los Angeles (which, you know, is pretty darn epic in Blade Runner). Let’s dive into the replicant recruiting party!
We already knew Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer were joining the Blade Runner universe. But now, they’re getting joined by a whole new crew of replicants (or maybe humans? You never know in this world!).
We’ve got Dimitri Abold (remember him from The Hunger Games prequel?), who’s snagged a series regular role. Lewis Gribben (star of Somewhere Boy) is also joining as a series regular, while Katelyn Rose Downey (don’t miss her in The Nun 2!), Daniel Rigby (hello, Renegade Nell!), Johnny Harris (looking sharp from A Gentleman in Moscow!), Amy Lennox (intriguing, with her breakout role in Only Child), and the amazing Sheila Atim (who stole the show in The Woman King) are all on board for recurring guest star roles.
More cast members mean more chances for awesome storytelling! Blade Runner 2099 is set 50 years after Blade Runner 2049, so the world is bound to be even more neon-soaked and morally ambiguous. These new actors bring fresh energy and talent to the table, and with the right characters, they could become just as iconic as Deckard and Rachael.
So, keep your eyes peeled for replicants (and new cast members) in dark alleys! The Blade Runner 2099 series is shaping up to be a must-watch for sci-fi fans. With a stellar cast and a return to the dark, rainy world of replicants and blade runners, this is one series that will have you asking “Wait, am I the real one?”
