Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2? Studio Trigger’s Cryptic Tease Sparks Fan Frenzy

Night City’s streets are about to blaze neon again: CD Projekt Red and Studio Trigger have officially confirmed Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2, a brand-new 10-episode standalone story that is now in production and headed to Netflix later next year. Announced during Anime Expo 2025, the sequel promises “an even sadder and bloodier” ride through the underbelly of the Cyberpunk 2077 universe, according to early comments from the creative team. Key details revealed so far • Format & release window: a self-contained, 10-episode arc slated for Q4 2026 streaming on Netflix worldwide. • Story focus: a fresh cast navigating corporate power plays and gang warfare in post-Phantom Liberty Night City; original protagonists David and Lucy’s saga remains untouched, but their legacy reverberates. • Returning talent: Studio Trigger’s Hiroyuki Imaishi (direction) and Yoh Yoshinari (character design) reunite, with CD Projekt Red supervising lore continuity. Composer Akira Yamaoka is back to score a “heavier, industrial” soundtrack. • First teaser: a 40-second sizzle reel premiered at AX 2025, teasing chrome-clad mercs, Max-Tac skirmishes, and a mysterious Braindance device marked “Project: Requiem.” A full trailer is promised for November’s Netflix Geeked Week. Why this matters for anime and gaming fans Cyberpunk: Edgerunners exploded in 2022, boosting Cyberpunk 2077 sales by 20 million units and earning Crunchyroll’s Anime of the Year. The green-light for Season 2 signals Netflix’s continued investment in mature, game-linked animation, while giving Studio Trigger a canvas to push its signature hyper-kinetic style. Merchandise & Blu-ray Alongside the sequel, CD Projekt Red unveiled a complete Season 1 4K Blu-ray box set shipping March 2026 with new director’s-cut storyboards and a 64-page art book.
