Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is confirmed for fall 2026 by Netflix, Studio Trigger, and CD Projekt Red. The sequel features a new cast including a vengeful Netrunner named D, with Studio Trigger returning to direct. It will stream on Netflix. This follows the original series' acclaim for its visuals and builds on prior announcements.

Netflix, Studio Trigger, and CD Projekt Red have confirmed that Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 will release in fall 2026.

The sequel receives an official release window. The series' official social media accounts began teasing the project again earlier this week. On the morning of June 28, the official Edgerunners account posted full key art and confirmed the fall 2026 window.
The original 2022 series remains in the zeitgeist through crossovers including references in Cyberpunk 2077, a Lucy guest appearance in Guilty Gear Strive, and an ongoing Wuthering Waves collaboration.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 was first confirmed last year at Anime Expo.

A new cast replaces the original characters. The first season left few survivors. The new characters introduced over the past week include a vengeful Snake Nation Netrunner named D, a young cinephile and documentarian named Roman Carax, Maelstrom gang member Taila Yang, and an Edgerunner named Weak Kingsley.

The anime will stream exclusively on Netflix. It follows the same distribution model as its predecessor. The original 2022 series remains in the zeitgeist through crossovers including references in Cyberpunk 2077, a Lucy guest appearance in Guilty Gear Strive, and an ongoing Wuthering Waves collaboration.

Studio Trigger returns to direct the follow-up. The first season earned acclaim for its visual representation of in-game concepts. Polygon previously described it as feeling exciting and new while pushing boundaries of inventive visuals.
The new cast will have a difficult task matching the iconic status of characters like Lucy and David from the original series.
