Studio TRIGGER announced that Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 will premiere on Netflix on October 20th. The second season is a standalone 10-episode story from the world of Cyberpunk 2077, directed by Kai Ikarashi, with returning character designer Kanno Ichigo and Hugo Award winner Bartosz Sztybor as showrunner, story writer, and producer.
The premiere date locks the new season into the fall slate, giving Netflix a concrete date for a sequel that had been anticipated since the original run. Director Kai Ikarashi, who worked on the first season, steps up to lead the project, with Kanno Ichigo returning as lead character designer and Bartosz Sztybor handling showrunner, story, and production duties.
The synopsis frames the 10-episode story as one of redemption and revenge in a city driven by spectacle, a tone consistent with the first season. The standalone structure means newcomers do not need prior context, though it builds on the same world as Cyberpunk 2077.
