Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2 Fall Release Date Guide (Netflix, PS5)

Netflix revealed at Anime Expo 2026 that Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is coming back this fall, with the new season arriving later this year. If you haven’t watched the original series yet, treat this as your spoiler heads-up—because the details below won’t be spoiler-friendly.

Key takeaways

Netflix confirmed Cyberpunk: Edgerunners will return in the fall, with timing set for later this year.
The season 1 finale left nearly everyone dead (including David), setting up Edgerunners 2 as a new crew story.
Netflix and CD Projekt Red released character teasers over four days, culminating in a first official group look.
The new cast lineup includes Weak ‘King’ Kingsley, D, Talia Yang, and Roman Carax.
Art department staff from the first season, Kai Ikarashi, is taking over directing duties from Hiroyuki Imaishi, with TRIGGER continuing production.

The Full Crew Assembled

Netflix’s latest reveal shows the new team together for the first time. In the back, towering over the group, is Weak ‘King’ Kingsley, described as a veteran Edgerunner who’s “now lives in the shadow of his former glory.”

On the left, perched on a crate, sits D—an Edgerunner netrunner from Snack Nation—who’s hunting the killer responsible for wiping out his clan.

On the right is Talia Yang, a woman with roots in the corpo towers, but with a stated devotion to “chrome and violence.”

Standing at the front, holding the camera, is Roman Carax, framed as “a young cinephile in search of real stories” in a city that moved away from cinema and toward braindances.

New Direction, Same Production Team

Kai Ikarashi, who previously worked in the art department on the first season, is stepping in as director for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2. His earlier credits include Mob Psycho 100, Evangelion: 3.0+1.01 Thrice Upon a Time, and Little Witch Academia: The Enchanted Parade.

Hiroyuki Imaishi will no longer be directing this follow-up, while studio TRIGGER will remain on board to produce the show.

The official series description positions Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 as a self-contained, 10-episode tale set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe—calling it “a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge.” It also frames the theme through a harsh question: in a city where violence is always putting on a show, what lengths do you have to go to make your own story actually matter?
