Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 release date speculation, latest news
Netflix's hit Cyberpunk anime will return for a second standalone series.
Spinning off from the videogame Cyberpunk 2077, the anime series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners premiered in 2022. Marketed as a standalone miniseries, it wasn't expected to return for a second season, but Cyberpunk fans will be excited to hear that isn't the case. A sequel series is now in production, set to tell a brand new story.
Season 1 followed the adventures of a young student named David Martinez, who became an edgerunner (a type of cyberpunk mercenary) in the futuristic underworld of Night City.
Given the popularity of that first season, which was praised for its visual style, cool soundtrack, and expansion on the Cyberpunk game canon, it's no surprise that Netflix decided to renew the show.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 will introduce a new cast and creative team, including director Kai Ikarashi (Little Witch Academia) and composer Masahiko Otsuka (Promare).
