Netflix will premiere season two of its Cyberpunk 2077 anime on October 20. The release continues the streaming giant's expansion into gaming adaptations.

Season two of the Cyberpunk 2077 anime arrives on Netflix next month, following the first season's debut in 2022. The anime adapts CD Projekt Red's acclaimed video game, set in the dystopian Night City. The first season consisted of ten episodes and received generally positive reception for its animation quality and storytelling approach. Season two will expand on the narrative established in the inaugural run. Netflix has invested heavily in gaming IP adaptations in recent years, including The Witcher series and Castlevania: Nocturne. The Cyberpunk anime represents another key partnership between the streaming platform and the gaming industry. Details on episode count and specific plot points for season two remain limited. The October 20 release date applies to all regions where Netflix operates.
