CD PROJEKT RED and the Japanese studio TRIGGER have officially confirmed that the highly anticipated sequel Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 will launch worldwide exclusively on Netflix in fall 2026. At the same time, a second teaser trailer and a new key visual have been released, showcasing the four main characters of the new season.
The series consists of ten episodes and tells a completely standalone story with a new ensemble. The focus is on the characters Weak Kingsley, D, Roman Carax, and Talia Yang, who fight for survival in the dangerous megacity Night City. The official description speaks of a "raw chronicle of redemption and revenge."
Direction is handled by Kai Ikarashi, marking his directorial debut. Character design and chief animation direction are overseen by Ichigo Kanno. The screenplay is written by Masahiko Otsuka, while Bartosz Sztybor, who already worked on the first season, returns as showrunner and producer. The music is composed by Tsuneo Imahori, and Naoto Uchida serves as sub-director.
The new trailer shows action-packed scenes of the new crew for the first time and is accompanied by the song "You Can't Run From Me" by rapper Rico Nasty, which is now available on all major streaming platforms.
On July 3, 2026, a panel discussion will take place at Anime Expo in Los Angeles, where the first episode will be previewed. Alongside showrunner Bartosz Sztybor, executive producer So Elder, and director Kai Ikarashi, English voice actor Nazeeh Tarsha, who voices the character D, will also be on stage.
The first season of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners premiered in 2022 and quickly became a worldwide success. The series won, among other awards, the Crunchyroll Anime Award for Anime of the Year and sparked a renewed surge in popularity for the game Cyberpunk 2077. With the sequel, the creators now return to the brutal yet fascinating world of Night City – with new faces and a new story.
