About “Blade Runner: Black Lotus”

“Blade Runner: Black Lotus” picks up where the events of a previous “Blade Runner” spinoff left off. Known as “Black Out 2022,” the show featured a large-scale power outage, just as the name implies. “Black Lotus,” meanwhile, steps in following that power outage with a new replicant by the name of Elle.

Elle has a slate of particularly unusual and very deadly skills, as well as a data device that she can’t seem to open. She’s also got a tattoo of a black lotus, and very little memory of who she is or where she came from. So she’ll have to take those skills and her locked data storage device and try to piece together her own past.

Those who want to watch the 13-episode series will have two choices for doing so. First, they’ll be able to stream the series on the Crunchyroll platform. Conversely, those who prefer a linear option will be able to watch via Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim platform. Crunchyroll will have the original version with English subtitles, while those who favor a dub can get it through Adult Swim instead.

"Blade Runner: Black Lotus" Official Trailer


Steve Anderson got his start writing about direct to video movies almost 15 years ago. This was back in a time when video stores were a part of everyday life, as opposed to being roadside attractions like gator farms or the Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota. With that writing on the wall in huge day-glo capital letters and probably moving neon, Steve migrated to streaming, which was clearly the future of home entertainment. Steve has been an enthusiastic proponent of the home theater for years, however, and seeing streaming's growth has proven gratifying as a way to fill the video store's shoes.
