Has the second season of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners been renewed?

What exactly is the plot of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners?

The first couple of episodes do a great job of setting the stage for the rest of the show by introducing us to a homeless kid named David. His mother Gloria worked excessive hours, which ultimately led to her untimely death in a car accident. David, struggling with loss and victimized by bullies, decides to have implants to improve his appearance. However, those implants were taken from a schizophrenic man named James Norris, and there is a risk that David may acquire some of James’ psychotic traits as a result of having them.

But before any of this can happen, David is introduced to Lucy and the rest of his crew. They want to put the implant inside David, but David is willing to make a deal with them and decides to work individually to pay them off. The television show shifts to a more episodic plot as the monster Maine watches over the gang and David learns the ropes, is trained by Lucy, and gets to know the rest of the gang while taking out targets along the way. After that, everything comes together in a cohesive way in the final mission, which is spread over a pair of explosive, high-action episodes to bring the story to a satisfying conclusion.

We have plenty of coverage of the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners show across the site, including a review of the entire season and an article explaining the ending. You can check them out HERE!

Has production begun on the second season of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners?

At the time this article was written, the television show Cyberpunk: Edgerunners had not yet been picked up for a second season. Given the nature of the show’s material, it could change dramatically if it goes well for Netflix, which is a distinct possibility.

Before deciding whether or not to continue airing a show, Netflix typically considers various data, such as the number of people who initially watch it and then the rate at which viewers stop watching it. There are a few shows, like Squid Game and Bridgerton and Irregulars, where Netflix made its judgment on the show’s future pretty quickly. Netflix sometimes takes months to come to a conclusion about a show’s future.

Up to this point, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners has been met with an overwhelmingly positive response from critics, who have overwhelmingly given the show positive reviews. The reception from the audience has been really favorable, which is always a welcome development.

After considering everything, we have decided that the television show Cyberpunk: Edgerunners will not be given a second season order. However, why? There isn’t much room for the storyline to develop now, unless the focus shifts to Lucy and she devises a plan for her revenge. Other than that, there isn’t much room for story. On the other hand, since most of the main cast has either been removed or given a significant amount of resolution, this looks like more of a one-shot deal.

As new information becomes available to us over the next few weeks and months, we’ll be sure to come back and update this section with the latest and most accurate information.

What we know so far about the second season is the following

Granted that Netflix has yet to give the go-ahead for a second season, very little information is available about it at this point. The conclusion, as mentioned, does not really leave room for the expansion of this one, unless the characters are changed and we follow different people from Night City, which of course is always an option . Other than that, it doesn’t really leave much room for growth. Given the core cast members we meet in this episode, it seems unlikely that the show will be renewed for another season.

It is possible that the contract could be renewed without our knowledge, in which case we would have to eat our words. The second season is definitely something to appreciate, however as stated earlier, we hope it will not be renewed for a second season. When further details become available in the future, however, we will make it a priority to release this website at this time.
