The first look at Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 has arrived

CD Projekt Red’s next season of gritty action is almost here, and we’ve got a fresh Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 trailer for you to check out.

Edgerunners returns

Yep, it’s back. The second season of the landmark animated series that elevated Cyberpunk back into the spotlight is heading to a fall release. As with its inaugural season, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 will air exclusively on Netflix, and if you dug what the show looked like previously, you might dig season 2 as well.

That’s because the sophomore season has been produced in “collaboration” with the animation studio TRIGGER once again. That said though, and while the locale will be the same, don’t look for it to be too familiar otherwise. CD Projekt Red says the show will present another standalone tale from Night City, with a whole new cast. That’s all kind of a given though, thanks to the themes of the property itself.

Fans can look for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2‘s tale to be directed by directed by Kai Ikarashi, who’s accompanied by character designer Ichigo Kanno. And as for the story, that’s penned by CD Projekt Red’s own Bartosz Sztybor, and Masahiko Otsuka.

Here’s that first look.

In addition to the trailer, there’s also a piece of music to talk about. That would be the tune that you heard in the video above, “You Can’t Run From Me” by Rico Nasty. The track was created exclusively for the show, and is streaming right now.

En route to Anime Expo

There’s a bit more Cyberpunk action for today, so keep reading. First up, is the first piece of artwork from this new season. That hails from Ichigo Kanno, with “Yukiko Kakita (ink and color supervision), and Yuichiroh Tozawa (composition)”. In the pic, fans can check out the cast, before they head over to the official site to have a peek at the bios for all four of them.

A minor (or major) mystery abounds with the image too, as they apparently won’t be a quartet. The website shows a fifth member of the group, but one who’s still a mystery. Could whoever it is have a link to season 1? Maybe, though we’re not sure how that’d work exactly.

Before we wrap things up for Cyberpunk fans however, there’s also a mention of Anime Expo to talk about. CD Projekt Red is heading to that event, which is scheduled for July 2nd through the 5th, 2026. The publisher will be hosting a panel there, on July 3rd, which will get much deeper into Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2.

Fans in attendance will get to see “a first look at the series’ premiere episode during an exclusive screening that will not be recorded or streamed.” Talent will be included as well, with “showrunner Bartosz Sztybor, executive producer Saya Elder, and director Kai Ikarashi —as well as voice actor Nazeeh Tarsha, who portrays D in the anime. Content creator Danny Motta will host the discussion.”

So if you’re going to the show in LA, you might want to check that out.
