The first season of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners debuted on Netflix in September of 2022, to rave reviews, instantly building a devoted fanbase. It has been a long wait for those fans since the finale of the ten episode season aired nearly four years ago. That wait, however, is almost over.

Season 2 will not be a continuation of the story from the first season (and the few surviving characters), and will instead focus on a new cast of characters. CD Projekt Red have been revealing characters at www.cyberpunk.net so be sure to check them out. The new season, as you might expect if you are a fan of the first season, looks frenetic, action packed, and brutal. There was plenty of blood on show in the trailer, along with moody visuals, colourful outfits, and a good look at those new characters in action.
