Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was undoubtedly part of the redemption arc of Cyberpunk 2077, bringing enough attention back to the game to get players to see the improvements CD Projekt RED made after its shaky launch. Perhaps that’s why CD Projekt isn’t about to shy away from doing more companion shows with its games. In a recent quarterly financials conference call, the Cyberpunk game developer and publisher teased that it was considering more opportunities for TV series and animation projects.
This was revealed by CD Projekt RED co-CEO Michal Nowakowski in an H1 2024 conference call during the Q&A portion with investors and analysts. There, CDPR was asked if it was still not considering a Season 2 for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, considering the success the series brought to CD Projekt’s games. Nowakowski answered that there still wouldn’t be a Season 2 of Edgerunners, but he didn’t entirely rule out new animated projects:
“[CD Projekt RED is] definitely planning to do more in terms of animation. Expect to see more for sure, but that’s as far as I can go right now.”
This would also coincide with feelings inside of CD Projekt RED and especially the teams and people that worked to bring Cyberpunk to Netflix, such as Edgerunners producer Saya Elder. In an interview we had with Elder in February 2023, she shared that there are still so many stories to be told in the Cyberpunk universe and the team would love to tell them whether through games or other media:
Based on this and Nowakowski’s recent commentary, it seems like the next CD Projekt RED series is more of a when than an if. As we wait to see what form that takes, stay tuned here at Shacknews for further updates.
