Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Staff Addresses Those Season 2 Rumors

Studio Trigger has a new anime out, and the chances are that you’ve heard of it. The company teamed with CD Projekt Red to bring Cyberpunk to life on the small screen with its own show. So far, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is one of Netflix’s top-rated originals, and its reviews speak for themselves. Of course, that means fans want more of the franchise, and one of the show’s executives is now addressing the anime’s future. 

The word comes straight from Satoru Honma, a Japanese executive with CD Projekt Red. The manager spoke with Famitsu about Cyberpunk in a recent interview, and it was there Honma admitted there are no plans to make a second season.

What’s the Deal

According to the exec, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was planned as a standalone project from its inception. “However, just to be clear, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was planned as a standalone work, so there’s no such thing as ‘we are actually working on Season 2 in the background’.”

“I personally would like to continue to work with Japanese studios to produce more anime in the future, partly because we have received very good feedback,” Honma continued. “Even if we could make more anime in the future, I don’t know if it would be Season 2 or something completely different.”

As you can see, CD Projekt Red and Studio Trigger aren’t planning any sort of season two at this time, so Cyberpunk: Edgerunners remains in limbo. Currently, the anime is one of the top-reviewed anime originals on Netflix, and it has been on the service’s global top ten list for over a month. From its animation to its pacing, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is a masterful show, and you can hardly blame fans for wanting more of it.
