What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorPrime Video dropped key art and a fresh trailer at New York Comic-Con, and Deadline says Hunter Schafer and Michelle Yeoh are hunting a cure for all replicants.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI love it already!
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHave you seen any of the franchise, Chip?
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNot one frame. Ten out of ten.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorEight episodes, created by Silka Luisa, and a cure. In a series where nobody has solved anything in forty-five years.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe studio just cured its own sequel problem.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA cure?
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMy pitch: Blade Runner twenty-one ninety-nine. The cure has side effects.
