Michelle Yeoh To Star In ‘Blade Runner 2099’ Sequel Series For Prime Video
'Blade Runner 2099' has cast Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh in an undisclosed role, Deadline can reveal.
But it marks the latest expansion of the sci-fi franchise based on Philip K. Dick’s seminal novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, which kicked off with Ridley Scott’s classic 1982 film, Blade Runner. In addition to serving as showrunner of the limited series, Silka Luisa is exec producing alongside Scott, Alcon Entertainment co-founders Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson, Alcon’s President of Television Ben Roberts, David W. Zucker and Clayton Krueger from Scott Free Productions, Tom Spezialy, Richard Sharkey, Michael Green, Cynthia Yorkin, Frank Giustra, and Isa Dick Hackett. Last year becoming the first Best Actress Oscar winner of Asian descent with Everything Everywhere All at Once, Yeoh rose to fame in 1990s Hong Kong action films before going on to star in a myriad of globally acclaimed blockbusters.
