Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2

Overview

  • Netflix and Studio TRIGGER unveiled a full trailer and cast details at Anime NYC, with the companies confirming a global Netflix launch date of October 20, 2026.
  • The trailer foregrounds violent cybernetic imagery and cyberpsychosis visuals, including a scene of an Arasaka building attack that underscores the season’s escalated tone.
  • The season is a standalone, anthology-style 10-episode story that introduces four new leads — Weak (Kingsley), D, Roman Carax and Talia Yang — rather than continuing David Martinez’s crew.
  • Production returns key creatives from the first series: Studio TRIGGER and CD PROJEKT RED co-produce, Kai Ikarashi directs, Bartosz Sztybor is showrunner, and Masahiko Otsuka writes, with Ichigo Kanno on lead character design.
  • The original Edgerunners helped rehabilitate the Cyberpunk 2077 franchise, and this Netflix-exclusive follow-up raises expectations for a new generation of Night City stories while testing whether the series can match the first season’s critical impact.
