Edgerunners showrunner says a third season depends on the right story and team
Showrunner Bartosz Sztybor says he has ideas for a third season of the anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
The series is based on the Cyberpunk franchise, and its second season followed the first with a different kind of story rather than a straightforward sequel.
Sztybor said he began considering more stories while writing Season 1 because many questions remained unanswered.
A third season is not confirmed: he said it would depend on finding a strong story and the right studio and director.
Studio TRIGGER made both seasons, and Sztybor said the team’s vision was important to the project.
He is also happy with how the two existing seasons work together as a complete package.
The next step is uncertain, and Sztybor gave no timetable for a decision.
Bartosz Sztybor says a third season of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners would depend on having a strong story and the right creative team.
The showrunner says he has ideas for more stories but that a third season is not certain.
He says he would not want to make a season that was mediocre or not good enough.
Sztybor says he is happy with how Season 2 completes Season 1, and sees the two seasons as a package that works.

What people are saying
only if there is a perfect story and perfect people to deliver it.
If there is no studio or director with a vision like Ikarashi-san, it doesn’t make sense.
We don’t want to do things that would be mediocre or not good enough.
I’m also happy with how Season 2 completes Season 1.
