Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 Teaser Trailer Reveals Darker Story and New Cast

Expert Verified By

A Darker, Bloodier Return to Night City.

Story Highlight
  • Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 gets a brand-new teaser, introducing fresh characters and confirming David’s arc is over.
  • Cybernetic enhancements and violent action seem to be a big part of the new storyline.
  • Showrunner Bartosz Sztybor described the new season as more emotional, brutal, and focused on revenge and redemption.

Netflix and CD Projekt Red have confirmed Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2, a new standalone series set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, announced at Anime Expo 2025 in Los Angeles.

The first teaser takes viewers back into Night City’s dark, neon-filled streets. It combines clips from Season 1 with new concept art featuring an entirely new cast. The flashbacks end with a chilling line: “David’s Dead.”

Why it matters: The teaser makes it clear the new season won’t follow David Martinez’s story, but will head in a new direction within the same world.

The teaser shows gritty scenes of Night City and brief, mysterious shots of the new main character. We don’t have the names or backstory yet, but the visuals hint at another intense story.

There’s a strong focus on cyber upgrades, and the sense that the danger is just as real, if not more so, this time around.

It also makes one thing clear: David’s story is finished. That one line changes the mood, reminding us that Night City doesn’t let everyone make it out. The mix of old scenes and new ones creates a sense that the show will still honor its past while pushing into new territory.

Just like the first season, this one will have 10 episodes, but it tells a brand-new story that doesn’t follow David’s journey. It’s directed by Kai Ikarashi, who previously worked on Season 1’s episode 6 (“Girl on Fire”). This will be his first time leading an entire season.

Showrunner Sztybor said the new season will be “sadder, darker, more bloody, and more raw” than the first. He hinted it’s a story about redemption and revenge in a flashy, dangerous world, where standing out could cost you everything.

Edgerunners 2 Teaser
The wait for the next chapter in Night City has officially begun.

There’s no release date yet for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, but it has been confirmed to be coming to Netflix. Even though David’s story is over, CD Projekt Red and Netflix are reviving the series, bringing back the same team that made the first season a success. CDPR is also reportedly working on a live-action adaptation of Cyberpunk 2077.

With a darker vibe and new faces, this sequel looks ready to take the world of Edgerunners even further. For now, fans are stuck replaying the teaser and guessing just how wild Night City will get this time.
