Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 release date was Tuesday, October 20, 2026. All ten episodes are now available on Netflix, so you can watch the complete second story without waiting for a weekly release. Studio TRIGGER and CD Projekt Red bring viewers back to Night City with a fresh cast.
The new story follows D, Weak, Talia and Roman, rather than resurrecting the original protagonist. Here’s where to watch, when the season became available in the UK, and how it connects to Cyberpunk 2077 without giving away the ending.
Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 release date and Netflix availability
The full ten-episode series premiered on Netflix on October 20, with the worldwide release scheduled for 8:00 AM BST in the UK (12:00 midnight Pacific). The entire season arrived together; there is no weekly schedule. You’ll need Netflix access to watch.
The Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 release date is already past. Open the title on Netflix and select episode one to start, or jump back into the later episodes if you’ve already been watching. Netflix and CDPR’s official series pages both confirm it is streaming now.
The Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 release date is for the new anime series, not a video-game DLC. You do not need to install an update to Cyberpunk 2077 to watch it, and the show’s announced launch platform is Netflix rather than a gaming storefront.
Does the Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 release date bring back the original cast?
The sequel is set in 2078, as CDPR loremaster Patrick Mills clarified after the premiere. It shares the world of Cyberpunk 2077, but tells an all-new story with fresh characters. The central setting is still Night City, where corporate power, gangs and dangerous cyberware define daily life.
That’s helpful for newcomers: knowing the first show’s characters may add context to Night City’s culture, but CD Projekt Red is introducing a separate group of people with their own relationships and conflicts. The official synopsis describes their lives becoming entangled in the city.
The returning connection is the setting and its themes, not a publicly confirmed continuation of a particular scene or ending from the first anime. The developer’s website has introduced the new protagonists and their motivations, giving us a much clearer picture than the early teaser alone.
Who are the main characters in Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2?
Weak, formerly known as King, was once a top edgerunner. He now lives under the weight of his former reputation. D is a Snake Nation netrunner pursuing revenge for the killing of his clan. Roman Carax is a young filmmaker who wants to document real life in a society obsessed with braindance recordings.
Talia grew up around corporate privilege before being drawn into Maelstrom’s violent culture. Avida, a former jazz singer and corporate insider, is married to Kang Tao executive Kiril and is connected to Weak’s past. The supporting cast includes braindance venue owner Sal, engineer Jessie and several corporate figures.
Japanese lead roles include Kentaro Tone as Weak, Koki Uchiyama as D, Momoka Terasawa as Roman and Akari Kito as Talia. In the English dub, the four main characters are voiced by Clancy Brown, Nazeeh Tarsha, Valeria Rodriguez and Kimoy Lee, respectively. The complete official roster appears on the show’s dedicated page.
Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 production team
Studio TRIGGER and CD Projekt Red have reunited for the sequel. This time Kai Ikarashi is directing, with Kanno Ichigo handling lead character design. The returning story team includes Bartosz Sztybor and Masahiko Otsuka.
That puts familiar creative experience behind the second series without suggesting it will follow the same characters or exact narrative structure. The official site describes the new production as another intense journey into the world of the dark future.
If you’re mainly interested in how the anime connects with the games, the best starting point is its shared location. Night City is the same sprawling setting associated with Cyberpunk 2077, but the new series is an original story set within that world.
Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 release date and episode count
The ten episodes all released on October 20. Unlike a weekly anime simulcast, season two launched in a single drop. That includes its tenth and final episode, so there are no more scheduled instalments to wait for in this season.
The Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 release date also preceded the game’s Update 2.5 on October 22 by two days. The game patch adds a prequel quest, King gear and an Edgerunners radio station. None of those changes is required to watch the series.
Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 release date trailer and official preview
The official series website now offers a Watch Now link alongside trailers and cast profiles, so you can go straight to Netflix or watch the preview first.
