Studio Trigger has utilized the Anime Expo 2026 stage to outline an ambitious production slate, confirming sequels for its most successful recent hits and the revival of a legendary creative partnership.
Back to Night City: Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2
The headline announcement is the arrival of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, scheduled for release on Netflix in Fall 2026. As detailed by Polygon, the series will be a 10-episode standalone story centered on themes of revenge and redemption.
The production features a fresh creative team, with Kai Ikarashi directing and Masahiko Otsuka handling series composition. Reports from Comic Basics indicate that this season will be significantly darker and grittier than the original, introducing a new cast including characters such as Weak Kingsley, D, Roman Carax, and Talia Yang.
More Culinary Quests in Delicious in Dungeon
Fans of the fantasy-comedy hit can look forward to the second season of Delicious in Dungeon, which is officially set to premiere in October 2027. Unlike the standalone approach of Edgerunners, this sequel will continue the journey of the established characters from the first season.
The Imaishi-Nakashima Reunion
Perhaps most intriguing is the announcement of a new project from director Hiroyuki Imaishi and writer Kazuki Nakashima, the duo responsible for Kill la Kill and Promare. While plot details remain under wraps, Nakashima confirmed that the script is finished and Imaishi is currently developing storyboards. The creators described this project as a culmination of their professional journey.
With these announcements, Studio Trigger continues to solidify its position as a powerhouse in the industry, balancing high-profile corporate collaborations with bold, original artistic ventures.
