Netflix, Studio Trigger, and CD Projekt Red have confirmed Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 for a fall 2026 release with an entirely new cast of characters. The sequel builds on the original 2022 anime's critical success and continued pop-culture presence through multiple game crossovers.
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 Season 2 reaches Netflix on October 20, backed by a new trailer and an unrelated cast headed by a boy named Roman. Its 10 episodes take a grounded, Scorsese-inspired look at Night City instead of repeating the first season’s more operatic style.
CD Projekt Red premiered the first episode of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2 at Anime Expo 2026, emphasizing a grounded, cinema-focused narrative over the original's action-romanticism. The shift explores memory, societal neglect, and individual stories in Night City through new characters like Weak and Roman.
The first look at Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is expected at the Anime Expo panel on July 3, 2026. The 10-episode standalone sequel reunites much of the original creative team and is set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe.
Netflix is developing a live-action TV series based on Atlus' Persona franchise with Story Kitchen and 21 Laps attached. The project continues the streamer's focus on video game adaptations as the series readies a major remaster for 2027.
