《Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2》 is a 10-episode standalone animated series set in Night City from the game 《Cyberpunk 2077》. For this new project, CD Projekt Red and TRIGGER have teamed up again, focusing not on characters from the previous series but on the intertwined lives of a new cast. All episodes were released on Netflix on October 20, 2026. The story revolves around how revenge and redemption intersect in a city where megacorporations and violence have become part of everyday life.

A Chrome-Less Legend and a Netrunner Seeking Revenge

Wek, a veteran edgerunner once known as “King,” lives without chrome and searches for a purpose in a world that no longer needs him. Meanwhile, D, a netrunner from the Snake Nation, tracks down the person who slaughtered his clan. D’s revenge leads to a hidden corporate secret, and the two characters’ contrasting starting points bring together numerous figures from Night City.

A 10-Episode Story Separate from the Previous Series

This season shares its universe with the previous series but was designed as a separate story. Alongside Wek and D, new characters reveal their own desires and regrets, including Roman, a young cinephile determined to document the real story; Talia, hardened by gang culture; and Avida, Wek’s former lover. Rather than directly continuing the previous series’ ending, it shows how the same city places pressure on the lives of different people.

The Production Team Led by Kai Ikarashi

Kai Ikarashi serves as director, with Ichigo Kanno joining as lead character designer. Bartosz Sztybor returns as showrunner, story writer, and producer, while Masahiko Otsuka has also joined the production team. The co-production framework between CD Projekt Red and Japanese animation studio TRIGGER remains in place, while the series expands Night City with new characters and a harsher visual style.
