Two films thirty five years apart, with three shorts and an anime series filling in what happened between them.
Chronological, which here is also very close to release order and costs you nothing. The only trap is the three shorts: they came out in one order and are set in another, so a list sorted by release date puts them wrong.
Seen some of these already? Tap the circles to tick them off. The full list below fills in as you go.
First made and first set, November 2019 on screen. Watch The Final Cut if you have the choice: the 1982 theatrical version carries a narration Ridley Scott never wanted and an ending that undoes the film's whole argument. Nothing before this is needed.
Fifteen minutes, and the single most useful thing you can watch between the two films. It shows the blackout that wipes every record and bankrupts Tyrell, which 2049 spends its running time referring back to without ever depicting.
The sequel, thirty five years later and thirty years on in the story. It assumes you know who Deckard was and what a replicant is, and almost nothing else.
Then what? Those three are the spine. The two Luke Scott shorts, 2036: Nexus Dawn and 2048: Nowhere to Run, sit between the blackout and the film: the first explains why replicants are legal again, the second ends on the character 2049 opens by hunting, and watching it immediately before the film is the best six minutes in the franchise. Black Lotus is thirteen episodes set in 2032, so it belongs between the blackout and 2036, and it is the one most people place wrongly because it came out four years after 2049 and looks like a continuation. It is not. Blade Runner 2099 is announced for 25 November 2026 and nothing has aired.
A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.
Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.
Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.
All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.
Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.

Nothing else happens until you follow the link. If it has not arrived in a few minutes, look in your spam folder and search for SagaList. It is sent from a no-reply address on our own domain, so there is nothing to reply to.
Both addresses get an email: the new one to confirm it, and the old one so that nobody can move your account without you knowing. Nothing changes until you follow the link.
Signing out leaves everything you have ticked on this device exactly where it is. It only stops it syncing.
This removes your account, your email address, and the progress stored on our side. It cannot be undone and we cannot get it back for you.
Nothing is charged and nothing is cancelled, because SagaList does not take payments. What goes is your account, your email address and the progress synced to our side. What stays is everything ticked in the browser on this device.
