Studio Trigger's highly anticipated return to Night City is nearly upon us. CYBERPUNK: EDGERUNNERS 2 has officially unveiled its global release schedule and premiere timing map ahead of its October 20, 2026 debut on Netflix. Fans worldwide will experience the new ten-episode arc simultaneously, with the streaming giant opting for an all-in-one drop format rather than a weekly broadcast schedule.
Helmed by director Kai Ikarashi—recognized for helming the standout Episode 6 of the original series titled “Girl on Fire”—the continuation features character designs by Ichigo Kanno and screenplays penned by Masahiko Otsuka. Bartosz Sztybor returns as showrunner, writer, and producer, keeping the gritty creative vision intact. The production promises an independent narrative exploration into the dark underbelly of Night City, previously described by creators as a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge.
Global Release Timing
The global rollout begins at 12:00 a.m. PDT in Los Angeles on October 20, expanding across international time zones simultaneously. Major regions include London at 8:00 a.m. BST, Kyiv and Cairo at 10:00 a.m. EEST, Tokyo at 4:00 p.m. JST, and Sydney at 6:00 p.m. AEDT, ensuring that viewers across every continent can dive into the new storyline at the exact same moment.
Alongside the schedule, the production has highlighted a fresh lineup of characters driving the plot. Veterans and newcomers alike include Weak Kingsley, a legendary edgerunner facing his twilight years; D, a vengeful Snake Nation netrunner; Roman Carax, a documentary-obsessed cinephile; and Talia Yang, a corporate-raised independent caught up in Maelström's hyperviolent culture.
