In May, we learned that the development of a sequel to the Cyberpunk 2077 game is moving forward at CD Projekt Red, and today, at the Anime Expo 2025 event, it officially announced a new season of the anime spinoff for Netflix. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 will have ...an entirely new story, fresh characters, and a raw, realistic take on the most dangerous city of the dark future.

On Saturday, Netflix released an official teaser trailer for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 that mixes up clips from the first season with the message that David's Dead," plus some concept art-style teases as it moves on to a new set of stories in Night City.

The new season will be directed by Kai Ikarashi, who also directed episode six in the first season, Girl on Fire." There's no word yet on when Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 will premiere, but they also released this new poster.

Showrunner and writer Bartosz Sztybor said during Friday's panel that for season one, I just wanted to make the whole world sad... when people are sad, I'm a bit happy," and that this new 10-episode season will be ...of course, sadder, but it will be also darker, more bloody, and more raw."

A brief summary of the follow-up series tells fans what to expect following the end of David's story in season one:

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 presents a new standalone 10-episode story from the world of Cyberpunk 2077- a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge. In a city that thrives in the spotlight of violence, one question remains: when the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter?

Update, July 5th: Added teaser trailer.
