AuthorJul 05, 2025, 11:42am EDTCyberpunk EdgerunnersNetflix CDPR has just announced that Cyberpunk: Edgerunners will return with season 2

This was more or less confirmed before this, but now actual motion is rolling out for the show, with descriptions, posters and by the time you read this, bably a trailer

If you’re thinking you’re going to need to wait an extremely long time for this second season, the release date may be a lot closer than you think

CDPR has not given a date, nor a window

However, given the saga that was the release of season 1, we can dig into this

And from what I can tell, it’s mostly good news

Here’s the timeline: Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was announced on June 25, 2020 during a

It was largely forgotten until closer to release (December 2020 was launch, and its disastrous release was all anyone could talk )

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners premiered on Netflix on September 13, 2022, two and a quarter years later

So, are we destined for a fall 2027 launch

If it’s true that Edgerunners season 2 is actually getting a trailer today (it already has motional art), then we may be much closer to launch than envisioned

The first Edgerunners season 1 trailer wasn’t released until June 8, 2022 at a Netflix “Geeked Week” showcase

That was just four months until launch

It remains one of the best-scoring shows in Netflix history with a 100% critic score and a 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes

Riot’s Arcane used to be up there as well, but season 3 dropped its audience score to an 87%, so Edgerunners practically stands alone on the service

And so, what was once going to be a one-off led to more content

In September 2024, Netflix teased a new Cyberpunk animation ject

Now, we know that’s Edgerunners season 2

One concern was that animation studio TRIGGER was so busy they wouldn’t be available for a while, but it seems they have made time, given that this was an obvious priority

Given all this information I do not believe at all we are in for another 2+ year wait for Edgerunners season 2

If we really do get a trailer, I would guess that maybe this isn’t four months away we saw with season 1, but under a year

This is a new group, new story

It’s been confirmed the star of season 1, David, is really dead

An open question is whether this will start teasing the events of Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel, currently in the works at CDPR

We might know sooner than we think
