Netflix and Studio Trigger are heading back to Night City. On June 28 the production unveiled a new key visual confirming Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 lands on Netflix in Fall 2026 — a standalone 10-episode story set in the Cyberpunk 2077 world, not a direct continuation of David and Lucy's arc.
Quick answer According to SenpaiRanks, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 premieres on Netflix worldwide in Fall 2026 as a standalone 10-episode series animated by Studio Trigger, directed by Kai Ikarashi (his directorial debut) with returning writers Masahiko Otsuka and Bartosz Sztybor and lead character designer Ichigo Kanno. The original Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (2022) carries an 8.09 adjusted score on SenpaiRanks's board — among Trigger's best-rated work. Where to watch: Netflix, worldwide, no other platform announced.
The setup This isn't a David-and-Lucy reunion. The new visual introduces four fresh leads — Weak Kingsley, Talia Yang, Roman Carax, and D — in what the team calls a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge, asking what extremes a person reaches when the world is blinded by spectacle. Same Night City, new edgerunners, same neon-soaked moral freefall the first season was built on.
The trailer The new promo dropped alongside the visual:
Who's making it Trigger returns to the studio chair. Ikarashi — a storyboard artist and animator on the first series — steps up to direct. Otsuka writes, Sztybor produces and co-writes, and Kanno is back on character design. Home-video handling is already set: Aniplex of America releases it in North America from October 28, with Anime Limited and Plaion Pictures in Europe and Sugoi Co. for Australia and New Zealand.
Where it lands on the board The original sits at a Consensus-leaning 8.09 on SenpaiRanks — broadly loved and it holds up. That's the split MyAnimeList's single number can't show you: our two axes separate "everyone liked it" from "it's genuinely good." Season 2 is unrated until it airs, so the smart move is to watch it and log your own score — that's how the ranking actually gets built. Compare notes against Record of Ragnarok Season 4, another Netflix-first heavyweight this cycle, and see the rest of the slate on our what to watch this season hub.
Worth a slot? If you came for the first season's gut-punch pacing and Trigger's animation muscle, a standalone story is the low-risk way back in — no homework required. Catch up on the original Edgerunners ranking, then track Edgerunners 2 and rate it yourself when it drops.
