Night City is calling once again.

During Anime Expo 2025, Netflix and CD Projekt Red officially announced Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2 — a brand-new installment of the acclaimed anime series set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077. Revealed during the “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners — Behind the Scenes With its Creators” panel, the new season will feature “an entirely new story, fresh characters, and a raw, realistic take on the most dangerous city of the dark future.”

Bartosz Sztybor, story writer and producer of the original series, confirmed the news alongside voice actors Emi Lo (Lucy Kushinada) and Zach Aguilar (David Martinez), host Joey “The Anime Man” Bizinger, and Edgerunners director Hiroyuki Imaishi. During the panel, fans were treated to exclusive reveals of the official Season 2 logo and poster artwork, according to The Verge.

“David’s story might be over, but there’s plenty more to discover in Night City,” Sztybor said. “And to again have the legendary animation studio TRIGGER along for the ride makes us at CD PROJEKT RED so excited to introduce a raw, real chronicle of redemption and revenge, something unlike what we’ve done before.”

Taking the reins this season is Kai Ikarashi, who directed Season 1’s standout episode “Girl on Fire.” Ikarashi was formally introduced as the new director in a video message shown during the panel, where he also debuted a “Director’s Voice” video, offering a glimpse into his creative vision for the next chapter.

The new 10-episode standalone story is being described as “sadder,” “darker,” and “more bloody,” according to Sztybor, who didn’t hold back during the Trigger Studio panel: “I just wanted to make the whole world sad… when people are sad, I’m a bit happy.” He added, “It will be also darker, more bloody, and more raw.”

A synopsis teases what’s to come:

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 presents a new standalone 10-episode story from the world of Cyberpunk 2077 — a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge. In a city that thrives in the spotlight of violence, one question remains: when the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter?

Ikarashi will be joined by returning Edgerunners collaborators Kanno Ichigo (Promare, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners) as lead character designer and Masahiko Otsuka (Gurren Lagann, Promare), who will handle the screenplay adaptation.

While there’s no premiere date just yet, fans lucky enough to attend the Peacock Theater panel later that night were treated to a closed-door viewing of new teaser footage, which you can peep here.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is currently in production, with a future release planned for Netflix. More updates will be shared via the official website, newsletter, and CD Projekt Red’s social channels on X, Facebook, and Instagram.
