Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 Hits Netflix in Fall 2026 With a New Crew
Netflix and CD PROJEKT RED are heading back to the world of Cyberpunk. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is getting a follow-up, and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is officially confirmed as a standalone 10-episode story from studio TRIGGER and CD PROJEKT RED, landing in Fall 2026 as a Netflix worldwide exclusive. It is not a continuation of David Martinez's arc. It is a fresh story built around an all-new crew, so newcomers can jump in without any homework.
When does Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 come out?
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 arrives in Fall 2026, streaming as a Netflix worldwide exclusive. That is the official window, and it is worth being precise about it: Fall 2026 is all that has been confirmed. You will see people guess at an exact month or date, but nothing beyond the season has been locked in publicly, so treat any hard date you stumble across as speculation until Netflix says otherwise.
There is one date that is real, though. Episode 1 got a world premiere at Anime Expo 2026, screening at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on July 3, 2026, ahead of the show's full fall debut on Netflix. So the first episode has already played in front of a live crowd, even if the rest of the season is still a few months out.
Is it a sequel to David Martinez's story?
No, and that is the most important thing to understand going in. Despite the "2" in the title, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is not a continuation of David Martinez's arc from the 2022 original. It is a standalone story with an all-new crew, following different people.
"Season 2" is fine as shorthand, and you will hear it called that everywhere, but the framing matters. This is not a pick-up-where-we-left-off sequel that assumes you have the first season memorized. It is a new entry point. If you never watched the original, you can start here cold and be fine.
For scale, it is a full 10-episode TV series, the same length as the 2022 original. This is not a movie, and it is not a half-length cour. It is a complete season, built to stand on its own.
Who is making Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2?
The core partnership is unchanged: studio TRIGGER is animating, with CD PROJEKT RED back on board. That is the same creative pairing that made the first series work, so the DNA carries over even with a brand-new cast of characters.
The staff lineup:
- Director: Kai Ikarashi
- Story and showrunner: Bartosz Sztybor
- Script: Masahiko Otsuka
- Character design: Ichigo Kanno
Sztybor returning to steer the story is the throughline here, keeping the new season tied to the sensibility that made Edgerunners land the first time, while a new director and character designer put their own stamp on the look and feel.
Who is in the new crew?
Here is the confirmed main cast, with Japanese and English voices for each role.
- Weak Kingsley, voiced by Kentaro Tone (JP) and Clancy Brown (EN)
- D, voiced by Koki Uchiyama (JP) and Nazeeh Tarsha (EN)
- Roman Carax, voiced by Momoka Terasawa (JP) and Valeria Rodriguez (EN)
- Talia, voiced by Akari Kito (JP) and Kimoy Lee (EN)
Clancy Brown on the English side is the name that will jump out to a lot of viewers, and the Japanese cast brings some heavy hitters of its own in Koki Uchiyama and Akari Kito. Beyond the roles and the voices, the specifics of who these four are to each other are being kept close, so we are holding off on speculation there.
What is on the soundtrack?
Edgerunners built a reputation on its music, and the sequel is leaning into that again with a stacked lineup.
- Opening theme: "10:15 Saturday Night" by The Cure
- Ending theme: a track by Watson
- Trailer song: "You Can't Run From Me" by Rico Nasty
Pulling The Cure for the opening is a statement, and Rico Nasty on the trailer keeps the eclectic, genre-hopping energy the first season's soundtrack was loved for. Music was a huge part of why the original hit as hard as it did, so it is a good sign that the sequel is treating it as a headline feature rather than an afterthought.
Where can you watch it, and how to catch up
When it drops in Fall 2026, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 will be a Netflix worldwide exclusive, so a Netflix subscription is all you will need, wherever you are.
Because the new season is standalone, there is no required viewing to understand it. That said, if you want the full context for the world, the tone, and why this show earned a sequel in the first place, the one thing to watch is the original Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. It is a self-contained 10-episode run, so you can knock it out in a weekend before the new crew arrives.
Fall 2026 is close enough to start getting ready. Add Cyberpunk: Edgerunners to your watchlist on MyAnimePulse and we will keep the release details straight for you, so you know the moment Edgerunners 2 goes live on Netflix.
