Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2: October 20 Netflix Premiere, New Cast, and What's Changed
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 premieres October 20, 2026, exclusively on Netflix. Studio Trigger's return to Night City is a 10-episode standalone anthology—not a continuation of David Martinez's story—with an entirely new cast and a fresh director. Here is every confirmed detail, straight from the reveal at Anime NYC 2026 and CD Projekt Red, plus what it means if you collect the sci-fi figures the first series made popular.
When and where to watch Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2
The premiere is a Netflix exclusive, and all ten episodes drop at once on launch day rather than weekly. The October 20, 2026 date and a new trailer were unveiled during Anime NYC 2026 (August 20–23), which is where most of this season's fresh details landed. If you are mapping out the season, it arrives in the same crowded window as the rest of the Fall 2026 anime lineup.
| Detail | Confirmed |
|---|---|
| Premiere date | October 20, 2026 |
| Platform | Netflix (worldwide, exclusive) |
| Episodes | 10, released all at once |
| Studio | Trigger, with CD Projekt Red |
| Format | Standalone anthology (new story) |
It's a standalone anthology, not David's story
This is the biggest thing to understand before you watch: Season 2 does not follow David Martinez, whose arc ended with the first series. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is a self-contained story with new characters, still set in Night City within the Cyberpunk 2077 universe. CD Projekt Red and showrunner Bartosz Sztybor have framed it around themes of family, obsession, and legacy, built on a revenge-driven structure.
In practice that means you do not need to have finished the first season to jump in, though the shared setting rewards fans who have. It also gives Trigger room to reset the tone rather than repeat David and Lucy's tragedy.
The new cast and staff
The main voice cast was confirmed ahead of the premiere, in both Japanese and English. Director duties pass to Kai Ikarashi, making his directorial debut, with Hiroyuki Imaishi no longer at the helm. Ichigo Kanno leads character design, Naoto Uchida is assistant director, Trigger CEO Masahiko Otsuka writes the script, and Tsuneo Imahori composes the music.
| Character | Japanese VA | English VA |
|---|---|---|
| D (a Nomad seeking revenge) | Koki Uchiyama | Nazeeh Tarsha |
| Weak Kingsley | Kentaro Tone | Clancy Brown |
| Roman Carax | Momoka Terasawa | Valeria Rodriguez |
| Talia Yang | Akari Kito | Kimoy Lee |
Everything above was announced or confirmed by the production; no studio, episode, or cast detail here is speculation. This season was first revealed at Anime NYC 2026 alongside a wave of other titles—see our Anime NYC 2026 recap for the full slate.
What it means for collectors
The first Edgerunners was a merchandise juggernaut: Lucy and David figures from Good Smile and other makers sold out repeatedly, and a fresh season historically pulls those lines back into production and revives the aftermarket. A new anthology cast also means new figure subjects over the next year, so this is the moment to watch prototype reveals rather than chase inflated resale prices later.
If Edgerunners' street-level sci-fi is your lane, Japan's mecha and cyber-tech figures scratch the same itch. Fans of that world often also collect Gundam, and cyberpunk-adjacent titles like Ghost in the Shell feed the same shelf.

Start or restock your sci-fi shelf
Akibato doesn't carry Edgerunners figures, but it ships authentic Japanese anime figures worldwide, so a new season is a good excuse to build the display.
