Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 hits Netflix on October 20 with a new trailer

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 has a premiere date: October 20 on Netflix, just in time for Halloween. A new trailer dropped alongside the announcement, giving the first real look at the 10-episode series.

The show is a standalone sequel to the 2022 original, again made by animation studio Trigger in collaboration with CD Projekt Red. It follows four new characters in Night City with intertwining storylines. The official synopsis centers on two of them — Weak, a washed-up cyberpunk legend forced to live without chrome while searching for purpose, and D, a nomad on a revenge mission that pulls him dangerously close to buried corpo secrets. The series themes, per the synopsis, are family, obsession, and legacy.

The original Cyberpunk: Edgerunners landed in September 2022 and became one of Netflix's most talked-about anime releases that year, earning widespread praise and giving Cyberpunk 2077 a massive player count spike shortly after launch. Trigger — the studio behind Kill la Kill and Promare — handled the animation, and that partnership clearly worked well enough for CD Projekt Red to greenlight a second run. The sequel was first announced in July 2025.

No word yet on whether any characters from the first series carry over, but the standalone framing suggests new viewers can jump straight in. October 20 is the date to mark.
