The narrative will be described as "sadder and bloodier" compared to the original, with a darker, bloodier, and more emotionally charged tone. The story will delve into the brutal conflicts between Corporations and Gangs in Night City’s neon-lit streets.
The season will be produced in collaboration with Trigger, the animation studio behind the first season. Kai Ikarashi, who directed Episode 6 of the first season, has been confirmed as the director for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2. The creative team includes Kanno Ichigo (character design) and Masahiko Otsuka (screenplay adaptation). The season will consist of 10 episodes, the same length as the original.
No specific release date has been announced yet for Season 2, but it will premiere exclusively on Netflix. A first-look poster and some teaser details were revealed at Anime Expo 2025, but no trailer has been publicly released yet due to its graphic content.
Bartosz Sztybor, a story writer and producer, has spoken about the second season, describing it as a raw, real chronicle of redemption and revenge. He emphasised that there's plenty more to discover in Night City, and audiences can expect to uncover even more of the city's secrets in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2.
In summary, fans can look forward to a standalone Season 2 that deepens the emotional and dark themes of the Cyberpunk universe with new characters and a fresh story. While we wait for the release date, we can enjoy the acclaimed animation quality of Studio Trigger and CD PROJEKT RED, as they work together to bring us another exciting instalment in the Cyberpunk universe.
