Viewers of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 will be able to watch episode 1 of the new series for free, without needing a Netflix account, so here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n

The 10-episode anime, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners<\/a> 2, has been released on Netflix today, 20 October. But if you don\u2019t have a subscription and want to get a feel for season 2, you can actually watch the first episode for free.<\/p>\n

The new series returns to the world of Cyberpunk 2077, with Japanese animation studio TRIGGER back in charge of production.<\/p>\n

Unlike the original series, which followed David Martinez and his crew, Edgerunners 2 tells a standalone story featuring a completely new cast of characters. So, you don\u2019t have to expect a direct continuation of David\u2019s story.<\/p>\n

The new anime follows Weak, a former legendary edgerunner who now lives without cyberware, and D, a Nomad driven by revenge. Their stories cross paths in Night City, exploring themes of revenge, redemption, family and legacy.<\/p>\n

Kai Ikarashi, who worked on major scenes in the first series, is directing the new instalment. Ichigo Kanno joins as chief character designer, while screenwriters Bartosz Sztybor and Masahiko Otsuka are also returning.<\/p>\n

So, how do you watch it for free?<\/h2>\n
