'Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2' Arrives as a Standalone Story

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is a 10-episode standalone anime released on Netflix on October 20, 2026, following new characters through stories of survival and revenge in Night City.

《Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2》 is a 10-episode standalone animated series set in Night City, the world of 《Cyberpunk 2077》. Released on Netflix on October 20, 2026, it shares the same city as its predecessor while introducing a new protagonist and voice cast. Produced by CD PROJEKT RED and TRIGGER, this story presents an account of redemption and revenge unfolding in a city where violence has become an everyday reality. It is therefore a new story focusing on different survivors of the same world, rather than a sequel that continues following the previous work's characters.

Wick, Left Without Chrome

Wick, a veteran edgerunner once known as ‘King,’ tries to find his purpose between his former fame and his changed life after losing his chrome. Crossing paths with him is D, a netrunner from the Snake Nation who is tracking down the person who massacred his tribe. D's revenge draws closer to a hidden corporate secret, and the two characters' different shortcomings and goals set Night City's network of relationships in motion.

A New Perspective Through New Characters

The official introduction emphasizes the ‘new cast’ and the independent 10-episode structure. In addition to Wick and D, characters from different backgrounds become entangled, including Roman, who wants to document events, and Talia, who was hardened within gang culture. The director is Kai Ikarashi. Lead character designer Ichigo Kanno and showrunners, storywriters, and producers Bartosz Sztybor and Masahiko Otsuka also joined the production team.
