Potential sequels
During the promotional tour for the 2015 film The Martian, Scott expressed interest in making additional Blade Runner films.[170] In October 2017, Villeneuve said he expected a third film would be made if 2049 was successful.[171] Fancher, who wrote both films, said he was considering reviving an old story idea involving Deckard traveling to another country.[171] Ford has said he would be open to returning if he liked the script.[171] In January 2018, Scott stated that he had "another [story] ready to evolve and be developed, [that] there is certainly one to be done for sure", referring to a third Blade Runner film.[172]
In January 2020, Villeneuve expressed interest in "revisit[ing] this universe in a different way," making "something disconnected from both other movies," as opposed to a direct sequel.[173]
Blade Runner 2099
In November 2021, Scott announced that a Blade Runner TV series was in the works.[174] In February 2022, it was announced that the series, Blade Runner 2099, was in development at Alcon Entertainment, Sony Pictures Television and Amazon Studios. It will be set fifty years after the events of 2049. Scott will serve as executive producer and potentially direct the series, while Silka Luisa will serve as showrunner.[175] On October 12, 2022, it was reported that the series was officially approved and ready to move into production.[176]
In April 2023, Joe Roberts writing for Slash Film announced progress for the planned filming and 2024 release of the limited series, stating, "We then learned, via BBC, that the show would film in Ireland, with Northern Ireland Screen chief executive Richard Williams confirming a spring 2023 start date. If that turns out to be the case, don't expect the series to make it to Prime Video in 2023. Filming will no doubt take months and if post-production is anything like you might expect on a big-budget sci-fi outing, we should prepare for "Blade Runner 2099" to debut sometime in 2024."[177]
Video game
In June 2023, Annapurna Interactive announced Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth was in development. It is to be set before the events of the movie and after the anime Blade Runner: Black Lotus.[178]
