Blade Runner 2099 streams in Australia on Prime Video from Wednesday 25 November 2026. All eight episodes arrive on the same day, and the series is a Prime Video exclusive, so you will not find it on Netflix, Stan, Binge or free-to-air TV. Prime Video comes with an Amazon Prime membership, which costs $12.99 a month or $99 a year after a 30-day free trial for new members.
When is Blade Runner 2099 released in Australia?
Amazon announced the date in July 2026: Blade Runner 2099 premieres on 25 November 2026, with all eight episodes at once, exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories. Flicks lists the same date for Australia.
Amazon has not announced the exact time the episodes go live. We will add it here once Prime Video confirms it.
Where to watch Blade Runner 2099 in Australia
| Service | How | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Prime Video | Included with Amazon Prime | $12.99 a month or $99 a year, 30-day free trial for new members |
Prime Video in Australia shows ads unless you pay extra for the ad-free option. Our Amazon Prime guide has the current prices, what else the membership includes and what the October 2026 price rise means for existing members.
Can I watch Blade Runner 2099 for free?
Only through Amazon's 30-day Prime free trial for new members. Eight episodes released on one day fit comfortably inside the trial. If you do not want to keep Prime, cancel before the trial ends so you are not charged.
What is Blade Runner 2099 about?
The series is set 50 years after the 2017 film Blade Runner 2049, in a Los Angeles that Amazon says has been reborn, "just not by humanity": Replicants now run it. Hunter Schafer plays Cora, a fugitive who takes on one last identity as a Blade Runner. Michelle Yeoh plays Olwen, a Replicant Blade Runner close to the end of her lifespan, who is forced to work with Cora as they hunt a runaway holding a secret that could bring down the city.
Amazon describes it as a limited series, so eight episodes is the whole story as announced.
Cast
- Michelle Yeoh as Olwen
- Hunter Schafer as Cora
- Dimitri Abold
- Lewis Gribben
Recurring guest stars include Sheila Atim, Tom Burke, Johnny Harris, Daniel Rigby, Matthew Needham, Amy Lennox, Katelyn Rose Downey and Maurizio Lombardi.
Who made it?
Silka Luisa (Shining Girls) created the series and is the showrunner. Jonathan van Tulleken (Shogun) directs the first two episodes. Ridley Scott, who directed the original Blade Runner in 1982, is an executive producer, alongside Alcon Entertainment and his company Scott Free Productions.
Where to watch the Blade Runner films before 2099
Both films are on Prime Video already, so the same membership covers the whole story. Availability below is from the JustWatch Australia feed of 10 November 2026.
| Title | Year | Streaming in Australia | Rent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blade Runner | 1982 | Prime Video | From $4.99 (Prime Video store, YouTube, Fetch) |
| Blade Runner 2049 | 2017 | Prime Video, Paramount+ | From $3.99 (Fetch), $4.99 (Apple TV, Prime Video store) |
| Blade Runner: Black Lotus | 2021 anime series | Crunchyroll | Not listed |
If you only have time for one, watch Blade Runner 2049: the series picks up 50 years after it. The 1982 original is set in 2019, and Black Lotus, an animated series, sits between the two films. None of them is required viewing, as 2099 follows new characters.
More on Prime Video
The final two episodes of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 3 also land on Prime Video on 25 November, so one month of Prime covers both. For everything else arriving on streaming each week, see our new on streaming in Australia roundup.
