Also revealed was this brand new poster, which just looks slick as all hell.
Blade Runner has always been known for its props, like those unforgettable guns and vehicles. But now we’ve got samurai swords? Bigger guns and vehicles? Black Lotus is taking things up a notch.
That’s especially interesting because the story is set between the events of the 1982 Ridley Scott film and 2017 Denis Villeneuve film. We know where things begin, and we know where they’re going. But, sometime in between, we’ll follow a brand new replicant named Elle (voiced by Jessica Henwick in English and Arisa Shida in Japanese) who has deep ties to the growing mythology of futuristic Los Angeles. She’ll be jointed by characters voiced by Will Yun Lee, Samira Wiley, Brian Cox, Wes Bentley, Josh Duhamel, Peyton List, Stephen Root, Barkhad Abdi, Gregg Henry, Henry Czerny, and Jason Spisak.
G/O Media may get a commission
The 13-episode season of Blade Runner: Black Lotus will debut this fall on both Adult Swim (in English) and on Crunchyroll (in Japanese). It’s one of those things we really hope lives up to its namesake.
