Partially due to the Writer's Strike, production on BR2099 has been delayed. Isn't expected to resume before spring 2024.

I'm surprised Ridley Scott isn't directing the pilot! But I guess he's got his hands full with Napoleon. Villeneuve probably won't direct because he's got all the Dune stuff going on, with Part Two in post-production and The Sisterhood (which he's exec. producing and directing the pilot) still happening.

Right on the heels of Blade Runner 2039's confirmation, the television series Ridley Scott teased months ago has been announced as Blade Runner 2099.
Thoughts, anyone? I'm not sure if (m)any characters from the films will appear since it's 50 years after 2049.
