Hunter Schafer Joins Amazon’s Blade Runner 2099 Series With Michelle Yeoh

Amazon's Blade Runner 2099 series has cast Hunter Schafer in an undisclosed role. She will join Michelle Yeoh in the upcoming sci-fi follow-up to Denis Villeneuve's film, which is currently shooting in Prague.

As Deadline reports, Schafer joined the series due to a production delay on Euphoria season 3 , where she will reprise the role of Jules. The delay in productions has freed up its cast to take on other roles, leading to Schafer joining Ridley Scott's sci-fi dystopia.

The plot of Blade Runner 2099 is being kept under wraps, though there's no doubt it will continue to explore themes from Philip K. Dick’s "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"

Silka Luisa is acting as the showrunner, with Shōgun director Jonathan van Tulleken directing the first two episodes of the show. Given the immense success of the historical show leading to an unexpected season 2 renewal , it's safe to say that Blade Runner 2099 is shaping up to be something special.

Schafer's last big-budget appearance was in Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes , and her next film is the eerie horror-thriller Cuckoo releasing this August .

Blade Runner 2099 is being billed as a limited series, so don't expect a second season. However, given how expansive the Blade Runner universe is, despite just having two films, it wouldn't be shocking to see either Schafer or Yeoh pop up in a future movie.
