Cyberpunk Showdown: Apple TV's Neuromancer vs. Blade Runner 2099

In the world of sci-fi, two big shows are coming up.

Blade Runner 2099

• A follow-up to the famous Blade Runner movies
• Set to hit Prime Video in 2026

Neuromancer

• Apple TV's take on the classic cyberpunk novel
• Premiering in 2026

Both shows are exciting, but Neuromancer might just steal the spotlight.

Why Neuromancer Stands Out

• The original book's author, William Gibson, is involved in making the show.
• No pressure to live up to any previous movies, unlike Blade Runner 2099.
• Apple TV has a strong track record with sci-fi hits like Severance and Silo.

Blade Runner 2099's Strengths

• Talented team behind it, including Silka Luisa, Michelle Yeoh, and Hunter Schafer.

The Verdict

Both shows are set to premiere in 2026, making it an exciting year for sci-fi fans. But right now, Neuromancer seems to have the edge. It could be the one to watch and potentially become a cultural phenomenon.
