Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, D’s Revenge and Wek’s Survival Intersect
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is a standalone 10-episode anime produced by CD PROJEKT RED and TRIGGER. It follows former legend Weak and D, a nomad hunting the killer of his clan, as their stories converge
The new story in Night City begins not with the return of a character from the previous series, but with a clash between two people pursuing different goals. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is a 10-episode standalone series premiering on Netflix on October 20, 2026. The new teaser puts a new crew at the forefront as they continue their respective fights in the brutal city.
A Legend Without Chrome and a Netrunner Seeking Revenge
Veteran edgerunner Wek, once known as “King,” lives without chrome and searches for a purpose in a world that no longer needs him. On the other side, D is a netrunner with the Snake Nation who, while tracking down the person responsible for massacring the clan, draws closer to a hidden corporate secret. The point where the paths of these two characters meet forms the central axis of the series.
A Sequel to the Previous Series, Yet an Independent 10-Episode Story
The series shares the same Night City as its predecessor but is structured as a standalone story about new characters. It explores family, obsession, and legacy, depicting how its characters survive between dreams, revenge, and regret. Rather than simply extending the previous series’ ending, it introduces new layers of the city and new character relationships.
The Production Team Led by Kai Ikarashi
Kai Ikarashi directs, with Ichigo Kanno serving as lead character designer. CD Projekt Red and TRIGGER are co-producing the series, while Bartosz Sztybor and Masahiko Otsuka have joined the story team after working on the previous series. The released teaser mixes gunfights, braindance, and traces of corporate power to show the violence awaiting the new crew in Night City.
