Night City welcomes a new band of mercenaries in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, the animated series streaming on Netflix on October 20, 2026. Despite the title, this new chapter isn’t a direct continuation of David Martinez’s story: it delivers a standalone tale with a fresh roster of characters.
The series follows a fading edgerunner and a deadly netrunner in a city where violence has become a spectacle. Their journey will weave a tale of vengeance and redemption, set in the same universe as the video game Cyberpunk 2077.
This approach preserves Night City as a steady anchor while charting a new human path. The first series ended with a definitive conclusion, making room for an independent team rather than an artificial prolongation of its storyline.
Set in the universe crafted by CD Projekt Red, this new series will span ten episodes. Netflix also reveals a refreshed visual style designed to differentiate this tale from the first installment while preserving the energy and brutality fans expect from the franchise.
The project is aimed at fans of the first series as well as players of Cyberpunk 2077, but its standalone storyline is designed to be accessible to newcomers who don’t know what happened to the prior team. Getting acquainted with Night City and its power plays will still help you quickly grasp the rules of this dystopian world.
