Ever wondered what it's like to dive back into Night City's neon-soaked chaos? Well, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is returning for a second season, and Netflix just dropped a release date along with a fresh teaser.
At Anime NYC, Netflix unveiled a stacked lineup of anime reveals, and the big one is Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, hitting the streaming service on October 20. The new trailer gives us a glimpse of the seedy underbelly of Night City and introduces a new cast of characters. This season follows washed-up legend Weak, revenge-seeking nomad D, chrome-obsessed Talia, and young cinephile Roman across 10 episodes that delve into themes of family, obsession, and legacy. Expect plenty of blood, neon, and cyber-psychosis.
But that's not all. Bass X Machina is a wild Western reimagining of Bass Reeves, a real-life figure who escaped slavery and became the first Black deputy US Marshal. In this steampunk world, Bass is a cyborg on a revenge mission. Produced by Mappa and Madhouse, and featuring Brian Tyree Henry in the lead role, this one arrives on November 3.
Sakamoto Days: Season 2 also got a teaser, though it was light on animation. It introduces new characters—Amane, Etsuko Satoda, and Yotsumura—who'll play big roles. The second season of this hit series about a retired assassin launches in January 2027.
Fool Night, adapted from Kasumi Yasuda's manga, is set in a dystopian future where Earth is plunged into eternal night. With animation by Sunrise and Shaft, it follows Toshiro Kamiya, who undergoes a risky procedure to pay for his mother's medical expenses, only to have his life unravel. It debuts on November 26.
Blue Eye Samurai: Season 2 shifts the action from 17th-century Japan to London as Mizu continues her vengeance-fueled journey. It arrives in January 2027.
And for a dose of pure joy, Lego One Piece brings the live-action cast to the Grand Line in Lego form, with Usopp spinning tall tales. It's out on September 29. Plus, we got new key art for The One Piece, a reimagining of Luffy's early adventures by Studio Wit, premiering in 2027.
