Studio Trigger is in production on Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, its Netflix sequel series debuting October 20. The studio also marked its 15th anniversary in August 2026 with a statement from President and CEO Masahiko Otsuka.
Netflix posted a sneak peek video for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 on Tuesday, teasing an escape from an Arasaka building. The standalone 10-episode series debuts on Netflix on October 20. Kai Ikarashi directs in his directorial debut, with Bartosz Sztybor returning as producer and writer and Masahiko Otsuka returning as scriptwriter. The opening theme is The Cure's "10:15 Saturday Night."
The trailer for the series, released June 29, 2026, confirmed a fall 2026 premiere for the 10-episode anime. Studio Trigger returns to animate the sequel, which tells a standalone story with an entirely new cast of characters rather than continuing the original series. Sztybor is back as showrunner. The official logline describes the series as "a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge" set in Night City, where violence has become entertainment and survival often means becoming part of the spectacle. The first Cyberpunk: Edgerunners became a breakout hit for Netflix and CD Projekt Red after its 2022 debut, helping revive interest in the Cyberpunk 2077 game. The new season follows a different set of characters navigating the same dystopian setting.
Separately, Studio Trigger reached its 15th anniversary in August 2026. Otsuka issued a statement thanking fans and staff. He noted that the past five years brought major change to the animation industry, especially in working conditions, and said the studio will keep its small-scale, handcrafted production approach while aiming to create unique works.
