The Edgerunner is a cyberpunk novel.
I was trying to find out if Cyberpunk Edgerunners was going to be renewed for a second season, but I got nothing. I thought I would write about the possibility of season 2 and why I don't think we'll get one. There is no official information about the second season of Cyberpunk Edgerunner.
I am not sure if Cyberpunk Edgerunners will get a second season, but I would like to see it. What's the reason? There are a few reasons
It doesn't seem like it's doing all that well in the hours watched department despite the high critical and fan praise. Edgerunners was briefly on the top 10 list for a day or two before vanishing completely. Arcane, an animated video game series that was greenlit for season 2, hit the top spot in 38 countries over its multi-week launch. Even if the quality is top-notch, I don't know if the viewers want it to be that way.

Trigger is known for doing one-off shows and not returning for second seasons for many of its own series. Trigger's lack of desire to stick with the same projects always comes up, so it may take some convincing to get them to stay rather than move on.
If you have watched Edgerunners, you know what I am talking about. A second season of Edgerunners would need a completely new cast because most of the characters die. If the show continued with just her and a new cast, it would have to shift to an anthology and take on another story inside Night City. I think the Edgerunners storyline has been in the works for a long time, and I don't think they had a second one on deck. The reception to this season may change the plan for it to be the only one.
What about the reasons why it could get a second season?

This show has the highest combined critic and audience scores of any show on the streaming service. Even though they have killed off good shows with not high enough viewers in the past, they have made exceptions recently for shows with high scores and passionate fans, like Heartstopper, which was recently renewed for two more seasons. Cyberpunk Edgerunners is a good series. I don't think there's anything stopping Edgerunners from having more seasons if everyone agrees on it. This is the path I would like to take.
We don't know what's going on. Everyone is waiting for the data to come in, so the creators of the show are not talking about the second season. CDPR is thrilled with the interest the show has generated in the game, but they want to continue with Cyberpunk being a multimedia intellectual property, though Edgerunners season 2 was not mentioned specifically in that plan. At this point, not at all.
