Netflix Confirms Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 for Fall 2026

A standalone 10-episode story from Studio TRIGGER led by returning creatives adopts a darker, more violent tone for Night City.

Overview

  • Netflix and Studio TRIGGER released a full trailer and key art in late June and set a Fall 2026 release window for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2.
  • The series is a self-contained, 10-episode anthology set in Night City that introduces a new main quartet rather than continuing David Martinez’s story.
  • Netflix unveiled four principal characters — Weak Kingsley, D, Roman Carax, and Talia Yang — with short profiles that frame revenge and spectacle as central themes.
  • Creative credits name Kai Ikarashi as director, Bartosz Sztybor as showrunner and writer, Ichigo Kanno as lead character designer, and Tsuneo Imahori on music.
  • Marketing and the trailer emphasize a darker, more brutal tone than the first season, fans have speculated about brief cameo shots from Cyberpunk 2077 but those identifications remain unconfirmed and will be addressed at an upcoming Anime Expo panel.
