"Euphoria" star Hunter Schafer will feature alongside Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh in the Amazon's upcoming series, set in the 'Blade Runner" franchise. Titled "Blade Runner 2099", the show will serve as a sequel to Harrison Ford's 1982 classic "Blade Runner" and its 2017 follow-up "Blade Runner 2049", in which the Hollywood veteran starred alongside Ryan Gosling.
Though the plot details of the series have been kept under wraps, Yeoh will essay the role of a character named Olwen, replicant near the end of her life, according to entertainment news outlet Variety. Silka Luisa is serving as the showrunner and executive producer on "Blade Runner 2099", which will be released on Prime Video.
