Cyberpunk: Edgerunners premieres September 13
Studio TRIGGER-produced anime to consist of 10 episodes.
All 10 episodes of the Studio TRIGGER-produced anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners will premiere on Netflix on September 13, CD Projekt RED announced.
The company also released a new poster featuring Lucy, one of the key characters of the series. Lucy is a skilled netrunner and an important member of Maine’s mercenary crew. Despite her highly sought-after technical abilities, she wants nothing more than to escape Night City and her dangerous past.
Here is an overview of the series, via CD Projekt RED:
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners tells the story of David Martinez, a street kid trying to survive in a technology and body modification-obsessed city of the future. In the aftermath of a personal tragedy, David decides to take control of his own destiny by becoming an edgerunner—a mercenary outlaw also known as a cyberpunk.
The acclaimed Japanese animation company Studio TRIGGER collaborated with CD Projekt RED to bring the story to life, with Hiroyuki Imaishi (Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill, Promare) directing the show. Yoh Yoshinari (Little Witch Academia, BNA: Brand New Animal) is the chief character designer as well as executive animation director. Masahiko Otsuka (Star Wars: Visions “The Elder”) and Yoshiki Usa (Gridman Universe series) wrote the screenplay based on the story provided by CD Projekt RED. The original score is composed by Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill series).
