Some big names will be joining the second season of Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2.
The series announced the voice actors for the Japanese version and not too late after, the voice actors for the English version. Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 will also feature a mysterious fifth character although except for a blurred silhouette, there’s not much else we know about who it is. Here are the voice actors set to make their legendary debut in the second season:
- Once known as “King,” a veteran edgerunner at the top of his game, Weak now lives in the shadow of his former glory. Weak will be voiced by Kentaro Tone and Clancy Brown.
- A Snake Nation netrunner with sharp technical skills and a sharper hunger for revenge, D hunts the killer who wiped out his clan. Koki Uchiyama and Nazeeh Tarsha will voice D.
- Roman Carax is a young cinephile chasing real stories in a city that’s abandoned film for braindance. Obsessed with documenting truth, he shadows the lives of others — only to learn that unlike his favorite reels, Night City’s stories are messy, brutal, and rarely tied up with a clean ending. Momoka Terasawa and Valeria Rodriguez will voice Roman.
- Raised in corpo towers but hardened in Maelstrom’s grip, Talia is fiercely independent and steeped in the gang’s hyper-violent, chrome-obsessed culture. Akari Kito and Kimoy Lee will voice Talia Yang.
The second seasons will be directed by Kai Ikarashi with Studio TRIGGER animating and producing. Masahiko Otsuka will handle the series composition and Ichigo Kanno will design the characters.
The first iteration of the Cyberpunk Edgerunners series aired on September 13, 2022 on Netflix with 10 episodes and followed a street kid named David Martinez who becomes an edgerunner–a cybernetically-enhanced mercenary outlaw–and joins a crew which includes Lucy, Maine, Dorio, Kiwi, Pilar, Rebecca, and Falco. Because of David’s high tolerance for cyberware, he continues to modify his body in order to protect his loved ones and Night City. Cyberpunk Edgerunners is set in the Cyberpunk 2077 video game universe although it is a related to the story in the game itself.
Cyberpunk Edgerunners received critical acclaim and won numerous awards including “Best Anime,” “Best Director,” and “Best Action Anime,” at the Japan Expo Awards. Although the second season will not see the crew from Season 1 return, fans can witness the birth of a new legend.
Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 comes out on Netflix sometime in the fall this year and will have 10 episodes.
