Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2 has finally been officially revealed, with Netflix dropping the first full trailer during a special event. The anime, produced by Studio Trigger, is set to continue the story of Night City’s most dangerous edgerunners — and fans are already losing their minds over what they’ve seen.
What the Trailer Shows
The trailer offers our first real look at the new season’s story and characters. While details remain sparse, we can see a fresh cast of characters navigating the neon-soaked streets of Night City, with the same vibrant, kinetic animation style that made the first season a standout.
Studio Trigger is confirmed to return for the second season, and the visual fidelity looks even more impressive than the original. The trailer showcases intense action sequences, emotional character moments, and the kind of over-the-top cyberpunk aesthetic that fans fell in love with.
CD Projekt Red is once again collaborating closely with Studio Trigger to ensure the anime stays true to the world of Cyberpunk 2077 while telling its own unique story. The first season was widely praised for how it expanded the game’s lore without simply retelling the events of the RPG.
A New Chapter in Night City
The second season appears to introduce a new protagonist and a different corner of Night City, though there may be connections to the first season’s characters and events. Netflix has confirmed the season will premiere later in 2026, with a specific date yet to be announced.
The original Edgerunners was a massive success, both critically and commercially. It helped reignite interest in Cyberpunk 2077, driving millions of new players to the game and turning it into one of the platform’s most-played titles. Season 2 will be looking to recapture that magic — and if the trailer is any indication, it’s well on its way.
With the anime, the upcoming expansions, and continued updates to Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red has turned the franchise into one of gaming’s most vibrant multimedia properties. Season 2 of Edgerunners is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated anime releases of the year.
