Netflix Confirms Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 for Fall 2026

Studio Trigger with original creative leads returns to Night City to deliver a darker, standalone 10‑episode anthology that broadens the franchise's story space.

Overview

  • Netflix set a Fall 2026 release window and in late June released the first teaser trailer plus official art that introduces four new leads: Weak Kingsley, D, Roman Carax and Talia Yang.
  • The series is a self-contained, 10-episode anthology chapter that uses a new cast and story rather than directly continuing season one’s plot.
  • Key creative personnel from the original show are back, with Kai Ikarashi directing, Bartosz Sztybor and Masahiko Otsuka showrunning and writing, Ichigo Kanno on character design, and Tsuneo Imahori credited for original music.
  • Showrunner Bartosz Sztybor has confirmed season-one deaths remain canonical and will not be reversed, while fans have flagged an unverified brief trailer sighting that some think may be Dum Dum from Cyberpunk 2077.
  • The first series boosted interest in the Cyberpunk 2077 game and the new season’s return to Night City could further shape cross‑media engagement; Netflix plans to share more details at upcoming panels such as Anime Expo.
