In September, Netflix gave us a new anime series called Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, the anime series received some positive reviews. And since cyberpunk seems to be going strong in general, people are wondering if there could be a Cyberpunk: Edgerunners season 2 in the future. Unfortunately probably not.
Japanese Famitsu had the opportunity to interview Cyberpunk: Edgerunners producer Satoru Honma and he made it clear that there are no plans to continue the story at this point.
“Personally, I’d like to continue working with Japanese studios to produce more anime in the future, also because we’ve had very good feedback. — To be clear, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was planned as a standalone work, so that’s how it is there’s no such thing as “we’re actually working on season 2 in the background. Even if we could do more anime in the future, I don’t know if it would be season 2 or something else entirely.”
So for now, it’s safe to assume we’ll have to take Cyberpunk: Edgerunners for what it is and expect no more.
