Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2 Is Official—And It Might Be Closer Than You Think

Grab your chrome and prep your neural links—Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is officially returning for Season 2, and the wait might not be as long as you feared.

After nearly two years of silence and speculation, CD Projekt Red has kicked promo into high gear. Posters? ✅ Descriptions? ✅ And yes, by the time you’re reading this, a trailer might be out or just around the corner. It’s happening.

🕹️ A Timeline Worth Hacking Into

Let’s rewind. The first Edgerunners season was quietly announced during a June 2020 livestream. But between the turbulent Cyberpunk 2077 game launch that December and radio silence on the anime front, most of the world forgot about it—until the show finally dropped on September 13, 2022.

What followed? Instant cult-classic status. With a 100% critic rating and a 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, Edgerunners didn’t just redeem the franchise—it redefined it. The show became one of Netflix’s best-reviewed original anime projects, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with titles like Arcane (which, for the record, slipped a bit with its third season).

Now, after teasing a “new Cyberpunk animation project” last September, Netflix has confirmed it’s Edgerunners Season 2. And judging by how fast marketing is spinning up, we’re not in for another multi-year wait.

🔧 Don’t Expect a 2027 Launch (Thank God)

The original Season 1 trailer didn’t even surface until June 8, 2022, just four months before its premiere. If Season 2 is already getting posters and teaser art—plus that trailer tease—we could realistically be looking at a release window within 6 to 12 months.

That’s not confirmed, of course, but based on anime production timelines and how priority this series has become (despite studio TRIGGER's heavy schedule), a late 2024 or early 2025 release feels not just possible—but probable.

🧠 What We Know So Far

• New cast. New story. David is dead. Yes, really dead.
• Studio TRIGGER is back on board.
• There’s buzz this may begin setting up the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, already in early development at CDPR.
• The show remains visually distinct and tonally raw—expect more heartbreak, more heat, and more neon-drenched insanity.

🎬 Final Upload: The Hype Is Real

Whether you were all in on Edgerunners from day one or just now catching up, this sequel season is shaping up to be more than a cash-in. It’s the next chapter in a franchise that’s finally found its footing—and maybe, just maybe, its soul.

Stay tuned, choombas. We’re going back to Night City sooner than you think.
