Ryan Gosling's cult sci-fi Blade Runner 2049 has landed a new streaming home in the UK.
The long-awaited sequel was released in 2017, 35 years after the first movie, and also saw Harrison Ford return to the role of Rick Deckard.
UK fans can now stream the movie on BBC iPlayer for the next 29 days after the film aired last night (January 21) on BBC One.
The movie is also still available to watch for free on Prime Video for subscribers.
Blade Runner 2049 was directed by Dune's Denis Villeneuve, and despite critical acclaim, proved to be a box office bomb.
What to Read Next
As well as Gosling and Ford, the movie features No Time to Die's Ana de Armas, House of Cards' Robin Wright, Marvel's Dave Bautista and Black Mirror's Mackenzie Davis.
A new sequel series called Blade Runner 2099 is currently in the works from Amazon, which will star Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh as a replicant called Olwen.

The series will also feature Euphoria's Hunter Schafer, with original Blade Runner director Ridley Scott on board as an executive producer alongside Silka Luisa, who will act as showrunner.
The show was due to be filmed in Northern Ireland, though those plans were scrapped over a year ago due to 2023's actors' strike.
As well as the two movies and the upcoming TV series, the Blade Runner franchise was revisited in 2021 with animated show Black Lotus, which takes place in 2032 and features the voices of Glass Onion's Jessica Henwick and Succession's Brian Cox.
Blade Runner 2049 is available to stream now in the UK on BBC iPlayer and Prime Video. Blade Runner 2099 is yet to confirm a release date.
