Blade 2099 Will No Longer Be A Limited Mini-Series, Plans For Part 2 Underway [EXCLUSIVE]

Initially planned as a ten-episode spin-off, our trusted insiders indicate an expansion in either the episode count or the potential for a second part. Regardless, it’s evident that Blade 2099 will not adhere to its previously advertised limited format.

Jonathan Van Tulleken steps into the directorial role for Blade 2099, with renowned writer Silka Luisa (known for her work on Shining Girls, Halo, and Strange Angel) penning the script. Casting for the series is currently in progress as production gears up for its anticipated start in June 2024. Although the exact release date is yet to be confirmed, all signs suggest a mid-2025 premiere. As the team finalizes the cast and prepares for production, fans can expect more scoops and updates.

The creators are investing significant efforts into Blade 2099, presumably confident that the final product will captivate audiences. This confidence is reflected in their decision to transition from a mini-series format to a full-fledged, potentially multi-season endeavor.

The leaked plot details are as follows:

In Los Angeles in 2099, Cora lived her entire life on the run, a chameleon forced to adopt numerous identities. To secure a stable future for her brother, she assumes one final identity and is forced to partner with Olwen, a Blade Runner who’s confronting the end of her life. The two are pulled into a widening conspiracy that poses an existential threat to a city that’s fighting to be reborn.

The majority of filming will take place in Prague, a departure from the initially chosen Northern Ireland due to budget constraints and logistical conflicts. Richard Williams, chief executive of NI Screen, expressed disappointment over this change but did not disclose specific reasons for the shift.

As filming commences in June 2024, more details about the cast are expected to surface. Currently, no other actors apart from Michelle Yeoh have been officially confirmed for Blade 2099, though negotiations are underway. It’s still in the early stages, with final contracts expected to materialize later on.
