Night City doesn’t forget you — and Studio Trigger isn’t done with it either. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is officially coming to Netflix this Fall 2026, and the second teaser trailer that dropped on 29 June makes one thing clear: this is a wilder, darker ride than the first.
A Standalone Story, Not a Sequel
This is not a continuation of David Martinez’s story. CD Projekt Red and Studio Trigger have been clear that Edgerunners 2 is a brand-new, self-contained 10-episode arc with a fresh cast of characters. The tagline says it all: “New Legends. Same Night City.” You don’t need to have seen Season 1 to jump in — though if you have, you’ll know exactly how unforgiving Night City can be.
The official description frames it as “a story of family, obsession, legacy — and how your lens reflects the stories of the people around you.” The trailer backs that up: a bone-deep grunge aesthetic, bursts of cyberware violence, and Rico Nasty’s “You Can’t Run From Me” driving it all forward.
Who’s Running Night City This Time?
Four characters anchor the new story, each coming at Night City from a completely different angle:
Weak (voiced by Kentaro Tone) is a washed-up edgerunner legend — once the best, now living without chrome and searching for a sense of purpose in a city that has long since moved on without him.
D (voiced by Koki Uchiyama) is a deadly nomad on a path of revenge for his clan, only to find himself knee-deep in corpo secrets that were never meant to surface.
Roman (voiced by Momoka Terasawa) is a young cinephile hunting for stories in a city that replaced cinema with braindances — pointing a lens at the chaos around him instead of running from it.
Talia (voiced by Akari Kito) grew up corpo but got hardened by time running with the Maelstrom gang — someone who knows how to survive in a city that chews people up.
The Creative Team Bringing It Back
The original Edgerunners was directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi, and his absence here is worth noting — but the team stepping in is no less impressive. Kai Ikarashi takes the director’s chair; he previously worked as an animator on Trigger projects including Little Witch Academia and SSSS.Gridman, and this marks his biggest solo directing credit yet.
Hugo Award-winning writer Bartosz Sztybor returns as showrunner and lead story writer, joined by Masahiko Otsuka. Ichigo Kanno handles character design, with colour supervision by Yukiko Kakita. Studio Trigger is back in the animation seat.
An Anime Expo 2026 panel on 3 July will include the first episode screening for attendees and is expected to surface new details — including, possibly, a specific premiere date within the fall window.
Singapore Fans: Netflix, This Fall
Netflix Singapore carries the full Cyberpunk: Edgerunners catalogue, and Edgerunners 2 will land globally on the same platform with the same day-one access. No region delay, no import headache. If you haven’t caught Season 1 yet, it’s a tight ten-episode run that’s well worth clearing before fall. Check out more anime coverage on GameTrader while you wait.
