Blade Runner 2099
This is the one, and it’s not close. A Blade Runner series with Michelle Yeoh as a dying replicant Blade Runner and Ridley Scott producing is the biggest swing any streamer is taking this month. The Altruists will get the chatter and Yellowjackets gets its farewell, but nothing else in November has this kind of scale. Clear a night.
