After three years of waiting, it has been confirmed that Cyberpunk: Edgerunners will have a second season. The announcement, made during the panel at Anime Expo 2025, was accompanied by the presentation of writer Bartosz Sztybor and voice actors Zach Aguilar and Emi Lo, who shared details about the creative process of the animated phenomenon. This return is great news for fans, although it has been announced that the new season will not feature the same protagonists from the first cycle, which has generated uncertainty among the series’ followers.
Goodbye to its protagonists
The second season will consist of 10 episodes and will be set in the universe of Cyberpunk 2077. However, it is an independent story, with no direct connection to the events of the first season. Despite this, the creators have left the door open to the possibility that some familiar elements or characters may make an appearance, although nothing has been confirmed at this time. For now, fans can only look forward to a first teaser and a promotional poster.
The first season of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, produced by Studio Trigger, received widespread acclaim for its visual quality and narrative, winning the award for Best Anime of the Year at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards and achieving a remarkable 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. This success has cemented its place as one of the standout animes of the year.
In other news from Anime Expo, important premieres in the world of anime were revealed, such as new seasons of Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia, as well as a highly anticipated adaptation of Ghost in the Shell. Meanwhile, fans of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners can enjoy the complete first season, which is now available on Netflix.
