Michelle Yeoh is all set to star in Blade Runner 2099 sequel series for Prime Video.

Deadline reported that the upcoming movie, which is the 2017 movie sequel Blade Runner 2049, production had already started in Prague after a delay of nearly a year because of the SAG strikes in 2023.

In addition to serving as showrunner of the limited series, Silka Luisa serves as writer and executive producer alongside Scott, Alcon Entertainment co-founders Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson.
