Netflix Confirms Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2 at Anime Expo

Netflix is expanding its popular Yellowstone franchise by adding the second series, 1923, to its platform starting in July, featuring stars Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, though the latest Yellowstone main series and 1923's second season remain exclusive to Paramount+. Meanwhile, Netflix confirmed the production of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II, a sequel anime series set in Night City, with new characters and a fresh storyline, announced at Anime Expo 2025 with Studio Trigger returning for animation. Fans of the original Cyberpunk: Edgerunners are encouraged to catch up before the new season, as the story shifts away from previous protagonists. However, Netflix is also losing notable sci-fi content, including the critically acclaimed yet underappreciated film Furiosa, which will leave the platform mid-July despite its quality performances and direction. This reflects the ongoing challenges of Netflix's licensing system, where popular titles rotate in and out, impacting viewers’ access to key sci-fi offerings. These developments highlight Netflix's continued investment in high-profile series while managing the ebb and flow of licensed content.
