The video was posted on Netflix's Japanese YouTube channel. Together with the new poster, it shows more of the series' characters. The two leads are Weak and D. Weak is a former cyberpunk legend who now has to live without chrome and find a new purpose in a world that has moved on without him. D is a nomad and netrunner from the Snake Nation who wants to avenge his clan: this revenge brings him closer to secrets the corporations wanted to keep hidden.

The series tells a standalone story with an all-new cast of characters, again set in Night City, the city of the game Cyberpunk 2077. They include Talia, raised in the corporate towers and then hardened by her time with the Maelstrom, her gang; Roman, a young film lover who closely follows other people's lives to find true stories; and Avida, a former jazz singer and Weak's former partner, now married to a Kang Tao executive and Talia's mother. CD Projekt Red describes the series as a story about family, obsession and legacy.

Kai Ikarashi replaces Hiroyuki Imaishi as director

Trigger is still animating the series, but the director has changed. Hiroyuki Imaishi, who directed the first series, hands over to Kai Ikarashi, who directed the sixth episode of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Ichigo Kanno is the character designer. The script brings back the two writers of the first series' story: Hugo Award winner Bartosz Sztybor, who is also showrunner and producer, and Masahiko Otsuka. The series was created by Rafał Jaki. In the original Japanese version, Weak, D, Roman and Talia are voiced by Kentaro Tone, Koki Uchiyama, Momoka Terasawa and Akari Kito.

The first series, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, came out on Netflix in September 2022, also with ten episodes and also animated by Trigger. The Cyberpunk 2077 universe is also heading to cinemas: Paramount is preparing a live-action film with CD Projekt Red.
