Many names from the creative team that prepared the first season are also involved in the project in the second season. Kai Ikarashi, who also worked in the first season, will return to the director’s chair. This situation is an important assurance for viewers who were pleased with the style and atmosphere of the first season. In addition, the game’s developer, CD Projekt Red, will continue to play an active role in the second season.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners received positive reviews not only from anime viewers but also from the audience that followed the Cyberpunk 2077 game with its first season. The series contributed to the recovery of CD Projekt Red’s brand image after the game’s problematic launch. The production, which attracted attention with both its narrative and animation quality, quickly became one of the works approaching cult status.

Netflix announced that the production of the second season has started, but did not share any date regarding the release schedule.
