Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Creator Teases Lucy’s Return in New Show

by

The hit anime series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, which initially premiered on Netflix a couple of years ago, is rumored to be coming back with a fresh season, and there’s speculation that Lucy Kushinada might reappear as well. Fans were caught off guard when it was revealed during Anime Expo 2025 that a sequel has been greenlit for production. Despite the original series wrapping up with a satisfying conclusion, many had given up on the possibility of seeing more adventures set in its universe.

The sequel to “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners,” titled “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2,” has been officially confirmed as a new series set in the universe of “Cyberpunk 2077.” Unlike the initial series, this upcoming show will introduce fresh characters instead of reprising those from the first. Although many characters met their demise in the original series, there’s still a chance that Lucy might make a comeback, as series writer Bartosz Sztybor didn’t flatly rule out her potential survival during Anime Expo 2025.

Lucy Return Teased for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2

At Anime Expo 2025 over the weekend, Netflix unveiled several franchises, including “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2”. The series’ writer, Bartosz Sztybor, disclosed initial details about the upcoming season. He confirmed that both David and Rebecca perished at the end of the first series, but left the fate of Lucy ambiguous, hinting cryptically “And Lucy is…” This doesn’t guarantee her appearance in the new series, but it does suggest she continues to exist within the show’s world.

In the initial run of “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners” on Netflix, Lucy was the sole survivor, and since then, she’s gained immense popularity among viewers. It wouldn’t be unexpected if she made a guest appearance in the new series given her current fan following. In fact, she’s set to appear in other projects as well, such as an upcoming DLC character in “Guilty Gear Strive,” and her presence was even hinted at during Anime Expo 2025. Regardless of the new show’s outcome, Lucy seems destined for continued success.

What to Know for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2

In terms of current updates, it’s been revealed that “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2” is being developed for a Netflix release, though no specific date or timeframe has been announced yet. Kai Ikarashi, who directed Episode 6 of the original series, will be stepping into the director role in collaboration with CD Projekt RED and Studio Trigger. Kanno Ichigo will handle character design, while Masahiko Otsuka and Bartosz Sztybor will take on roles as showrunners, story writers, and producers.

If it turns out that Lucy makes an appearance too, fans will undoubtedly be thrilled. For now, catch up on the original “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners” series available on Netflix.
