Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is a standalone 10-episode anime from CD PROJEKT RED and Studio TRIGGER, released on Netflix on October 20, 2026. It is set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077 but tells a new story with a new cast: a veteran edgerunner who has lost his chrome, a nomad netrunner hunting the corporation that destroyed his clan, a teenage filmmaker documenting both, and a girl who has replaced her body to stay alive.
Director Kai Ikarashi takes over from Hiroyuki Imaishi, with Bartosz Sztybor returning as showrunner and story writer. The season is deliberately structured as a mirror of the 2022 original: where David Martinez gained chrome until it killed him, Weak Kingsley starts the story having lost it, and has to find out who he is without it.
You do not need to have watched season 1 or played the game. If you want the context anyway, our season 1 recap covers it in four minutes.
