Series creator Silka Luisa talks about the difficulty in creating a sequel to Blade Runner after so many sci fi movies and television shows have been heavily influenced by the original film:
That was definitely a conversation we had early on. So much sci-fi after Blade Runner imitates Blade Runner. You can find the reference points in so many other franchises. That was an opportunity for us to evolve the look of the world. It definitely pushed us when we were thinking of the visuals of the show and how the city could feel different than the films and other sci-fi. We really pushed against the idea of: If replicants have taken over, how would Los Angeles feel different? And how could we get a different aesthetic from that?
